  New Part: 3067pt3.dat - Brick 1 x 6 without Center Studs with black STORE Pattern  [DAT]
 
Looks like I have lost my priviliges to submit parts to the Tracker... Could somebody please submit this before the part number is taken by somebody else. /Tore 0 Brick 1 x 6 without Center Studs with black STORE Pattern 0 Name: 3067pt3.dat 0 (...)

  Re: Fixed LGEO parts
 
(...) My webhotel seems to have had a diskcrash and has restored an older backup. I have now checked all files and took the opportunity to add three new LGEO fixes. /Lars (20 years ago, 30-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
(...) Ok, I drew a better picture (2 planes in space and a floating eye) and I'm starting to see. Maybe you're onto something. It takes 2 surface normals and one point on the edgeline to divide space into 4 quadrants. Then you only need to figure (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BMP2DAT question (problem?)  [DAT]
 
(...) If I understand the problem correctly, you have to scale down the output file. This can be easily done by pretanding that it is a sub-part Rename it to pattern.dat for example. Then create a new part that calls to that pattern with the line: 1 (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  BMP2DAT question (problem?)
 
Hi, I made some stickers for one of my trains. Now i'm making building instructions for this train and would like to add the stickers i made in the LDRAW design. Therefore i use the BMP2DAT utility found in LDAdd-On from Steven Bliss. This works (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
(...) What you are describing is in fact a very old and basic edge rendering algorithm, which can be found in most detailed textbooks on computer graphics. CAD style and wire frame rendering went out of style during the 90's, so some recent "fancy (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  LPub vertical plate murk
 
I'm using LPub for a project and have been perplexed a bit by the image quality difference between rendering the "Complete Assembly" vs the "Instruction Images". It might be the same issue as in this thread: (URL) For vertical grey plates, the studs (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Parts editing made easy, anyone?
 
Thanks for your suggestions, the message I received is: "Yes, a good and useful translator would be appreciated." One brief comment on the issue of whether we want clean, compact and well structured files or not: of *course* we want clean files! A (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
(...) Actually, one can bring the number of transformations down to 1 for the entire _object_. Interesting what can happen when an idea sits in the brain and percolates for a couple of days. A new idea I had was to just transform the camera position (...) (20 years ago, 29-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Bricksaic version 0.1.0
 
(...) I ran into this too while betatesting. If you were using, for example, MLCad, it might be a problem with the color definitions that MLCad is aware of. Bricksiac is getting its color info from the ldconfig.ldr file in the install dir, I think. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Is there someone interested in making icons for me
 
Hello, I'am working on LD4DModeler V2 (see (URL) i want to make it better in every aspect over V1 am looking for some artist who is willing to make some (mostly) 16x16 pixel icons for me. I think people who used V1 know why I rather don't do it (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I knew I'd forgotten something in here! That function sounds interesting and could help a bit, but I'm not sure it's possible to turn an .inc around, but I'll look into it when I get the time. Thanks -NB (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Part request: Propellor 3 Blade with 24t Gear Complete Assembly - 2740c01
 
Well, I've done a request for this part more than a year ago, but to no avail.... Since I'm an airplanefreak I would really like to use it in some MOC's So if anyone is working on it or is planning to do so, please let us know! (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
(...) I don't see it. Are you sure this works in the perspective projection? Because I can't quite figure out what the magic view vector is in that case. I think you'd need to calculate one view vector for each edge endpoint, which brings the number (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Parts display strange in LEGO Digital Designer
 
Hi all, After a new full install of my PC, I cannot seem to get LDD to run properly. The parts display like this: (URL) have not seen this before. It worked on the previous install of my machine, which is exactly the same! Anyone else having this (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
Okay.... having had a day to think about it and a night to sleep on it, I think I've figured out something.... But it would only work if the optional lines were incident to edges of polygons that are part of the object being drawn. I'm not sure if (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
(...) I'm not 100% sure, but I believe most (if not all) of these outlining algorithms expect you to know the difference between the front faces and the back faces. It could be that they could be adopted for use when you don't have this information, (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Rendering implementation details
 
(...) I'm not sure it's possible to implement for real without serious slowdowns. It might be possible to implement in a vertex program, but I haven't studied vertex programs, so I really don't know. (I'm pretty sure you can't throw out a vertex (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
