Anyone have any tips for raytracing a black MOC with radiosity? I'd like some piece definition like this: (URL) What's the secret, Jeroen? Thanks, --Bram (20 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) I haven't tried modelling them.... I suppose I should for the rear shot :) What is the best way to get a glowing "pipe"? (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

(...) You are right, but the error handling problem is larget than just blanks in file names. All of this boils down to the wimpy method that LPub uses to parse LDraw files. If you type in a meta-command “0 LPUB PIL”, rather than “0 LPUB PLI”, lpub (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) I apologize in advance if this is a stupid solution but what about this: Is there a way for you to check for spaces in the file name as lpub attempts to open it? If so, can you then abort the file open process and throw a pop-up message that (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) You might want to take a look at 2593.dat (including the author ;-). (In your defense, that's a really old file.) Having said that, most places in the parts library, backslash (\) is used as the delimiter in path names. However, there are some (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

I have FINALLY finished modelling the 8480 space shuttle in LDraw :) Only taken about 30 hours! Anyway, the images and mpd are here: (URL) note, the mpd could be tidied up slightly, but is otherwise complete. Enjoy :) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
