  Re: New part 973p40, Minifig Torso with Castle Breastplate Pattern  [DAT]
 
I am not a part author or part reviewer. Yet I noticed two flashing triangles when this part is displayed with LDView. Thus, I have modified the subpart s\973p40a so that it does not overlap the belt fastener. Good news, this part is reviewed as YY (...) (23 years ago, 10-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  RE: Challenge/Request for the CAD gurus

Good info. Thanks! I have two questions about this: 1. Is it possible to get a .gif to work with transparency? 2. I am not totally clear on how you flip an image end for end, or rotate it.

  Challenge/Request for the CAD gurus
 
For whatever reason, I have started to really get interested in the wonderful things that can be done with LDraw, MLCad and POVRay. Some of the movies, animations, images and scenes that I have seen come out of the POV Ray program are just amazing! (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.cad)
