 | | Improved minifig heads [DAT]
|
|
Is there any interest in improving the minifig heads by using torus primitives? For some of the patterned heads, where there is printing on the curved section, it would be somewhat difficult, but most of them could be fixed pretty easily. Andy 0 (...)

Great stuff Jim, where possible I'll answer interspersed with your comments (...) I've noticed this too on some bricks. It has to do with the fact that some parts use negative scaling when drawing some primitives. Both OpenGL and LDRAW can handle (...) (21 years ago, 30-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
