Is there any utility which would take a 3D mesh (3DS,OBJ,DXF,etc..), and convert it to an Ldraw file (in 1x2 brick or 1x1 plate resolution)? ---Will (22 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

It only seems to import ldraw files : ( Is there anything already written that'll take a 3ds mesh and turn it into ldraw triangles/quads ? I'm tempted to write one if there isn't : ) -JSM "Gary Blessing" <blessing@icefog.net> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Confirmed! Well spotted. Any non-scaling reference to a part is shrunk, except if the reference is from a part. A part is currently defined as a file located in PARTS. "s\3069bs01.dat" (as a path) is located in PARTS. When the new part was in (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

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)
