  Re: Brownish Transparent
 
(...) Your best bet is probably to use direct colors instead of the regular LDraw color codes. That way, you can specify the RGB values in your model files. If you are using LDLite, you can use the 0 COLOR metastatement to define your own color (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: New primitive box3-2.dat (was Re: What's up with box3#8.dat?)
 
(...) Patience please - it's the holiday season and some of us have families to consider. I was hoping to get more replies to (URL) I explained the naming convention as currently implemented. So, if no-one is bothered, I'll change box3#8p.dat to (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Excellent rendering with MegaPov 0.7 (long post)
 
Hi all, Since the code for photorealistic pictures where released (see (URL) a lot of people have been experimenting with it. Allister McLaren for instance added light (see: (URL) which not only looks better but also removes some radiosity artifacts (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Large red train wheels
 
Is there an official ldraw part for the large red train wheels such as those at (URL) ? To date I have bren using 4180.DAT scaled evenly by 1.3. Thanks, Karl (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Wheel axles
 
When I first rendered a wheel with axle, I noticed that the axle was missing the notch. The existing axle has partnumber 35b.dat. Should I update this part (is 35b a valid partnumber to the new naming conventions?) with a notch or do I have to (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  New primitive box3-2.dat (was Re: What's up with box3#8.dat?)
 
Still no answer on the box primitive naming conventions. For my spoked wheels I needed a new primitive, like the box3#8.dat but with all adjecent edges. I named it box3-2.dat (Box, 3 faces drawn, 2 edges left out), but how should I name it so I can (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) In MLCad: color 47 is transparent white, color 39 is transparent light gray. Niels (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Brownish Transparent
 
(...) Not an answer to your question, but... In the old days when I used LDraw, I used to use LDraw colour 47 for newer clear parts and 39 for the older. :o) /Tore (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Brownish Transparent
 
Old Lego often changed color (due to aging etc.) I have some parts from the late fifties that look more cream than white and the transparent parts (used to be clear) are a bit brownish. Are there matching colorvalues for MLCad and POV to let the (...) (22 years ago, 29-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)

  LTrax v0.01, an LDraw-Compatible "Track Designer"
 
I'm proud to present a working (well, sort of) sketchy version of my latest creation, LTrax. In (URL) , you'll find the 108 kb zip file. It's a program inspired by Matthew Bates' Track Designer, but *much* less advanced. (I spent a couple of days (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Bug in LDDesignPad?
 
Hello! Thank you very much for both of your reports. I just removed the bug and will publish a new version soon. I will try to put in some new features too. Play well Carsten "Willy Tschager" <willy.tschager@tin.it> schrieb im Newsbeitrag (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW
 
(...) This sounds like a shortcut in the algorithm. If the bezier function is f(t), it does not have the property that |f(t) - f(t+d)| = c for all t, d given. I've corrected for this in my algorithm by using some simple optimization to find a (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Technic, Gear Timing Wheel 8 Tooth
 
Is part 2907 ( (URL)) what you mean? BTW, the Technica archive is a great reference for all (...) That is not the one, but I did find it on that page. Here is the link: (URL) looks like it does not have a part number, just called "Timing Wheel." (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  does this part exist?
 
the part in question is found in the Extreme Island Stunts sets. It attatches to the neck of a minifig and then has a stud attatchment. (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW
 
(...) Some progress - myself and a CAD expert mucked about a bit until we realised the obvious thing I was missing, the fact that the control point coordinates are specified relative to the end points and not in absolute coordinates! Jennifer (22 years ago, 28-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: *** Start celebrating .... NOW
 
(...) If memory serves me well, in Fredrik's Ldraw mode you specified the endpoints in terms of orientation as well as coordinates, stated the number of joints and it calculated the rest. Certainly a good system for many instances as that (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

  Technic, Gear Timing Wheel 8 Tooth
 
Has this part been modeled? I have no clue of the part number or if this is the correct name. This name came from BrickLink and the part number for the image is g8l. I have mine from the 8479 - Code Pilot. Hope I am not bothering anyone about these (...) (22 years ago, 27-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
