  Re: Mini TIE
 
In my library of LDRAW Star Wars Models, I have a mini TIE fighter that is nearly identical to this, authored by one Karim Nassar, and I acquired the DAT file to it in July '01. And just recently someone else posted a Brickshelf pic & dat/ldr file (...) (22 years ago, 9-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.starwars)

  Ring and Axle Hole fit
 
Is there a reason why the axle hole primitives don't fit exactly to the ring/cylinder/edge primitves placed around them? Is this a program anomaly or decimal place issue? Is there a reason why most of the axle holes are carried to 2 decimal places (...) (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  smooth_triangle algorithmizer?
 
Hi there: The help file in POV-Ray alludes to a software package that will take care of the normal calculations for smooth_triangle statements, but POV-Ray doesn't give a name. Does anyone have a favorite program for doing this? Thanks! Dave! (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Buffer Exchange and Ghost parts
 
(...) these (...) OK, Rotation steps are becomming clear now. But Buffer Exchange... it can be such a nice feature.

  Re: Overlapping polygons - how bad is it?

  Re: Overlapping polygons - how bad is it?
 
(...) That's the cool thing about LDraw, any part can exist in transparent. -Orion (22 years ago, 7-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Overlapping polygons - how bad is it?
 
(...) IMHO it is bad if the part can exist in transparent. Alpha-transparency makes any overlapping visible. Otherwise it is harmless. If you have no other solution and the part clearly exists in transparent color(s), then "needs work" in the part (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Minifig Generator Plugin for LDDesignPad Version 1.3
 
(...) Great! All seems ok now. I only regret the absence of a "x10 increment". Another great plugin that justifies LDDP just by itself. Thanks Orion, Damien (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Art of Illusion 3D Modeler
 
All: Recently, I've run across a 3D modeler written in Java called Art of Illusion. A URL can be found here: (URL) runs on all three major platforms -- Windows, Unix, and *Mac*. (It does not use the Java3D library explicitly because Java3D has not (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Overlapping polygons - how bad is it?
 
(...) I don't really see any problem as long as the polygins are of the same color. Some may complain that improper use of overlaps make transparent parts look wierd but I don't think that that's a significant enough problem to prevent using this (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Overlapping polygons - how bad is it?
 
If, for example, I can use a n-4disc primitive but not a n-4ndis close to it, I may want to let the polygon that touches the disc overlap a bit so that there won't be any bleeding when the part is converted by L3P. How "bad" is that overlap (if disc (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)

  ldraw.org MOTM & SOTM Winner for October 2002
 
Kinda late, but here goes: Keving Dixon won both categories this month. A rare occurance, but well deserved. Both his model and scene were excellent. And of course the rendering quality is superior - almost looks photographic. I really need to check (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw) !
