  Re: Camera Positioning
 
(...) This document describes a method of scaling to fit a bounding sphere into a viewport, starting somewhere around page 30. (URL) would think you'd have to pick a camera angle first, or fix one of the other variables like the distance to the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Camera Positioning
 
(...) Hi Orion, The law of similar triangles comes to mind...... not that I consider myself much of a mathemetician. Pick an aribitrary camera distance greater than zero and calculate the size of the bounding box projected into a 2D plane (the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  MOC: Airwolf helicopter
 
Hi all, After many years I finally found out that there was a program called LDraw in which I could put my old MOC airwolf, with retractable weapons. I'm working on the building instructions of the helicopter right now. (Yippie I can almost use the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.build, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.cad)  
 
  Camera Positioning
 
Maybe someone can point me in the right direction... I have an object with a known bounding box, how do I calculate the position of the camera so that the whole object is shown on a screen of known dimentions? In other words, how to I determine the (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  More Moonbase Madness ...
 
OK, I just spent 12 hours using MLCAD to create a whole bunch of Moonbase corridors, adapters, and inter-connection modules. After moderation pics and dats will be here : (URL) Carrol's "wide" corridors are *VERY* useful. The nice part is that it's (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad.dat.models)

  Re: Color problem- is this a bug in L3P?
 
(...) L3P has a bug with part colors when there is a single part in a sub-file. In this case, you need to ask yourself why you have this case. It seems overkill to have side.ldr with just one part in it. None the less, it is a bug in L3P. (...) LPub (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Lack of Color in Renderings
 
(...) Henry - L3P (or POV, I'm not sure) has a problem with color when converting LDraw files that contain single parts. To get around this, you can select the -c (Color) switch in L3PAO, and choose among the original 16 LDraw colors. You can also (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.cad)
 
  Color problem- is this a bug in L3P?  [DAT]
 
The attached .mpd file is showing a weird problem with colors when run through L3P and rendered in POV-Ray. There is a subfile that contains a single part. In there, the part's color is set to trans-red (Color36). The parent file sets it to black (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Lack of Color in Renderings
 
All, I recently tried rendering a tan (LDraw #382) plate using MLCAD and L3PAO. As this shows: (URL) color! I have also tried this and other pieces in yellow and dark red (# 320).
