Hi all, A few days after my post about MegaPov 0.7 a new version was released, compatible with POV-Ray 3.5. So to a certain point that post was a bit pointless. I have downloaded MegaPov 1.0 (MP1.0) for both Macintosh and Windows but only tested it (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) You don't actually have to draw them last. Just offset them in the Z buffer a bit toward the camera. It's cheap, and fast, and I think it looks pretty good. Opengl does it for you with glPolygonOffset but you can examine some homemade code (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Many renderers do transparency in a great looking way, that is not compatible with original LDraw... Think of the LDraw format as a 3D format usable in many contexts. It should not be tied to ONE implementation. Suppose we could increase (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Idunno, but the lines in these pattens have totally wrong colors, and I doubt that in these cases lines are needed at all. /Tore (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Why should a renderer *NOT* draw lines last? Original LDraw did (IMMSMR). Better fix the renderers once than to burden the part authors with yet another META command each time they make a patterned part. Those lines in patterns served a good (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The lines are there to have something drawn when the polygon would otherwise be too small to be rendered (at low magnification). Personally I don't like them in the present form, because they rely on renderers to draw objects in a certain (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

| | Incomplete parts
|

When making lots of parts BFC compliant I noticed that some parts are incomplete. 2463.dat : Inside faces are missing! 2464.dat : Inside faces are missing! How could these parts be certified? ;-) And another question: 2431p02.dat : Shouldn't this (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

When making lots of parts BFC compliant I noticed that many parts have lines in the patterns. Most of these lines are surrounded by polygons. What is the use of lines in (flat) patterns? (L3P/POV ignore lines, right?) Am I right if I think that (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

Huzzah! Sorry for the delay... Holidays and all. MOTM for December is Jeff Kiser's "Piano Keys". An intriguing concept, better explained now with Jeff's text. I wonder if it could actually work? SOTM is Peter Palfy's "Prison!". I like this scene. (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw) !
