  Pixelego anyone?
 
Greetings to you all! I've just recently been involved in the money-making side of building with LEGO bricks. I've been greatly influenced by the works of E. Harshbarger and his well documented website. I've been mainly doing mosaics of corporate (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Use of box.dat primitive
 
(...) Forgive me, for I have sinned. You are absolutely correct. It has been too easy to just use the box.dat instead of experimenting with the other ones, not knowing if they go from -1 to 1 or just from 0 to 1 and in what axises. And, of course, (...)

  Use of box.dat primitive
 
Hello all, I'm a bit concerned about several parts submitted to the Parts Tracker that use the box.dat primitive (the one with all faces and edges present), where other primitives would have been more appropriate. It seems to me that in several of (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: MLCAD question
 
(...) In other words, the first line of the file should be "0 Model title" or "0 Part Name".

  Re: Star Wars related wallpaper
 
Thanks. The links have been fixed. The 800x600 render was the original version. It's been replaced now. I did use the radiosity feature. Great as it is, radiosity will kill rendering time. The 1024x768 took 12 hr. 15 min 8 sec. Probably would have (...) (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.starwars)
 
  Re: MLCAD question
 
(...) You need to add the word 'Train' somewhere in the title of the part (that's the first line of the file) in order for it to show up in the train category in MLCad. As far as the description, MLCad won't give you one for an unoffical file unless (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: MLCAD question
 
(...) The simplest way is: 1. delete file "Parts.lst" in your "LDraw" directory 2. start MLCad, it will create a new "Parts.lst" Concerning new parts, use (URL) your prefered and primary source. Then if not succesfull lugnet.trains can be a (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  MLCAD question
 
I have just started using MLCAD v2.12 and downloaded some train parts from lugnet.trains - the Train Poster. The parts loaded OK but they are not in the correct category and do not have a description. Studying the other parts I see the first line in (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Re: Star Wars related wallpaper
 
Travis, Nice! I really like the individual renders of the Tie-Pod. I had to poke around to get the link to work right from the Wallpapers page though. Did you use the POV radiosity feature?

  Re: Any Software Capable of Generating Edge Outlines?
 
(...) Ldglite is based on LDlite, but has a few extra goodies like perspective mode. It might do what you want. There's usually a recent beta version here that lets you change the FOV angle via the menu, but unfortunately the sourceforge web site is (...) (22 years ago, 17-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad)
