  Re: Excellent rendering...
 
(...) Yes, I agree. When fiddling with parameters, I usually render only a small portion of the scene at the time, to see what effects the changes have. Only when I feel fairly confident that the final image is what I want, I try to render all of (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Formalizing a method for handling synthesizable parts
 
Orion, I had not thought about this. This is consistant with Steve Bliss' concern about putting out the synthesized parts in a seperate file so that they can be cosidered one part by other LDRAW compatible programs. I can see two issues here. The (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

ldraw.org is currently unreachable for me, plus I could use some advice on colors, I am not sure I have the brown color quite right, nor the dithered dark grey (halftone dotted) wrinkles/tears.

  Re: LEGO Color Reference
 
(...) Ya, when the .inc files get relatively stabilized (maybe in a couple weeks), I'll include more POV-Ray info on the pages. Maybe I should also post the current recipes to .cad.ray for technical feedback before that, because the current settings (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: LEGO Color Reference

  Re: Formalizing a method for handling synthesizable parts
 
(...) If you are going to go the subpart route, have you considered making an option to subpart the flexible object in a separate file so that seam width shrink is avoided when using L3P (or others) ? -Orion (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Formalizing a method for handling synthesizable parts
 
Hi Philo, (...) Oop.s I reworked the organization of the code and ended up messing this up. 1.0.0.2 is uploaded now. (...) I understand, but I'm not sure what can be done about this. I used the cross sectional parts that already existed for flexible (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Formalizing a method for handling synthesizable parts
 
Hi Kevin, It seems you forgot to link in CC3250.DLL... doesn't work on my system. (...) That's the kind of size I got... We must keep in mind that even if the ldraw file is smaller using parts, the number of triangle to render will be the same or (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Formalizing a method for handling synthesizable parts
 
Philo, Boy, were you right, the triangle synthesis took a 3K file and made a 2M file. Unpalatable. I switched lsynth over to use LDRAW parts for synthesis. Now that 3K file ends up to be 500K, still much larger, but certainly better than before. (...) (22 years ago, 6-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
