  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) <snip> (...) Ooooohhhhh. Thanks for that one..... that will make my code smaller. (...) Kevin (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Yeah, me too, but opengl requires it. I didn't make them automatic because the ldlite parser draws as it parses, so it doesn't have access to the bounding box of the model. I'll fix it for the l3 parser to default the clipping planes just (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) I just wasn't sure what to do with -z and -Z. LPub has to manage ROTSTEPS and such, so it pre-rotates the model into the desired view angle. It also centers the model in the process. The default value of -z10 clips the front of the car off. (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  magnet.dat
 
I think I can not use magnet.dat for the old Plate 2 x 4 with Magnet Holder (x499.dat) for the following reason: 1) I assume, that the newly created parts should be like reality. 2) Magnet.dat looks to me like a subpart that should not be like it (...)

  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) I can live with -ms, but would prefer to have -mS working also. I'm not sure if the rapid popping up and down of the window will cause palpatations. (...) Thanks again, Kevin (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Yeah, that 60000 number plays havoc with a bunch of things. You get a lot of z-bleeding because the clipping planes are spread so far apart. Maybe I get less depth bits on the offscreen buffer. Gotta check. And I suppose I should borrow the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: "Clusters" of Studs?
 
(...) Wow! Has it really been 2 years since we had this discussion? Either that, or I missed something in my newsgroup searching... Since I'm not seeing any stug*.dat files in the parts library, I'd like to revive this topic. I'd also like to (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) <snip> (...) Hi Don, Thanks for the help. I was able to make -mS work, but only if I backed way off on the 60000 number. By the time LPub presents the car model to ldglite to render, LPub has alrealy applied ROTSTEP to the model, assuming the (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Ok, now we're getting closer to the problem, I think. The ldglite image is blank, so I changed a few things to see what's up. I switched -mS to -ms so I could see it on screen and got a car facing forward. Does the offscreen windows rendering (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Part search
 
(...) Ayup. All the wedge-plates should be classified as Wings, with all the bricks staying in Wedges. (...) If you have a better name for that part, I'd like to hear it -- I haven't come across a convincing one yet (of course, I haven't been (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Don, Thanks for the help. I run L3P like this: set PATH=C:\LDRAW; set LDRAWDIR=C:\LDRAW l3p.exe -stdout -ca1.000000 -cg30.000000,45.0000...000.000000 -q2 -b0x02ffffff -o LDraw\CAR.DAT POV\CAR.pov and I get this result rendering at 800x600 (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
(...) Well, without the entire command line (actually both command lines) I can only guess. First, 6000 is pretty far away. I think that puts the car out past the default far clipping plane. Second, the default view in ldglite is orthographic to be (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LDGlite and LPub
 
Hi Don, When I render James Jessiman's car.dat with ldglite and l3p/pov ray using: -cg30,45,6000 The car rendered by ldglite is not the same size as the car rendered by POV-Ray. Do you have any idea why this would be? Hi Lars, When I run l3p on (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

Hello, Another Polish trains postcard - this time it's cold autumn morning, steam depot in Kepno. Two TKt2 heavy tank engines are waiting in the shed for some shunting job. (URL) And the 1024x768 version: (URL) I still hope you enjoy it, Bye, -- (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Part search
 
(...) There's also the matter of the 2x3 and 2x4 wedge/wing plates. The 2x3 pair is classified as wedge plates and the 2x4 pair is classified as wings. It's a little less problematic, since both groups of parts are in the Other/W branch of the tree, (...) (20 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Part search
 
(...) Yes, I downloaded the ZIP file last night after he posted a link to it. I haven't installed it yet, but I thought the ability to search by total number of studs (in addition to everything else) to be a most amusing and interesting feature. (20 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  973psj.dat  [DAT]
 
This version uses the revised subfiles for 973psb/psj. Also, I adjusted the size of the insignia (i.e., the two horizontal bars). I've already asked Thomas (offline) for his blessing to post this revision. I'm posting this here because the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Part search
 
(...) Yeah, some of those Boat parts need to be relocated. Especially now that the Wedge group has been broadened to include the boat base bricks (originally, wedges were only the 3x4 wedges, like part 6069). (...) That's not a totally bad idea. (...)

  Re: Part search
 
(...) You might want to try Anders Isaakson's LDList, a small program for searching your LDraw parts. It's really a simple interface, allowing you to search for keywords or specific phrases. And LDList not only matches on part numbers and names, it (...) (20 years ago, 23-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
