(...) Hmm, textures. Another idea might be to introduce BEGIN and END TEXTURE meta-command hints around printed areas so the rendering programs can render them to a texture ahead of time. This could be combined with another meta-command to (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) But doesn't LDLite have have a command line switch (-R) to convert the LDLite meta-statements to ordinary LDRAW syntax? So you could submit the converted parts. Don (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)

But the basketballs, gloves, etc.. are very specific in their use and therefore would warrent a sport category. Steve is the parts (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hi all, While perusing the parts library last night, I noticed that none of the pieces specific to LEGO Sports (Basketball and Soccer/Football) have been modeled yet. I may start a few of them soon, but would like to know if we should agree on a (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I've thought about this, because most LDraw-programs (ie, LDLite, L3Lab, MLCAD, L3P, ldglite, LDView?) provide a way to code color-values directly in some RGB method. My issue is that different systems (computer systems, graphics systems) (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.cad)
