LDDesignPad (LDDP) is a tool for editing and handling LDraw files in a very comfortable way. Features are: -Fully customizable editor with syntax highlighting -Open multiple files at the same time -Unlimited Undo/Redo -Use/define codesnippets (...)

(...) Thanks for all of the information, Travis. It does sound like I'll be better off with un-named colors that render properly instead of named colors that are all the same. :) -Joel (21 years ago, 25-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad)

| | No more parts updates?
|
|
There are already 2 more ldraw part updates out there and there's still no Leocad version for it. I already send Leonardo an email but he didn't respond, what's happened to him? (Is Leocad still alive?) I sort of need the parts in these updates and (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.leocad)

| | Interesting BFC finding
|
|
Well, I've finished an initially working implementation of BFC in my next-gen LDView code tree, and discovered that on my particular video card, BFC actually slows the rendering down. A test model renders at about 50 FPS with BFC handling disabled, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Re: Custom Color question/request

(...) L3P doesn't support the type of custom colors created with the define button. When you use a custom color in MLCAD, it uses an extended color number that defines the actual color used. This extended color number format originated with ldlite (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad)

It nags about invalid newsgroups when I try to send a replay. Anyway I'am working (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

--snip-- (...) Nope. =( It will render the animation in a movie file format (..mpg, .avi, etc..) when you are done. LD4DModler does not go the route of frame-by-frame animation as POV-Ray does, it uses 3D modeling. (The following text comes from a (...)

(...) Here's what I use when I'm rendering parts: camera { orthographic sky -y right -4/3*x location <100,-60,100>*100 look_at <0,20,0> angle 1 } Change the location and look_at to suit your tastes. Note that I multiply the location by 100. I work (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

|

(...) If you just do a straight "L3P model.dat," then you're right; the whole model fits very nicely in the camera's view (though a little fish-eyed, I find). But if you switch the view to orthographic, the model can appear a bit off-center and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | Re: Simple POV-Ray Question - Perspective
|
|
(...) As long as you let L3P calculate the camera distance, the whole model should be visible, and (mostly) fill the frame. I just copied the L3P auto-camera algorithm into LDView, and it works consistently for me with camera angles ranging from 0.1 (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | Re: [LSC] Colour Definition meta-statement
|
|
(...) I could go for that. Simpler is better! Of course that means the METALLIC (or PEARLY) tag needs an argument to define the color of the embedded bits. If you want it to be the same color as the substrate, just use the same color code. Don (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
