(...) Hey. You know the bricksaic interface is also a really nice fit for a program to reproduce patterned bricks in ldraw. I gave it a whirl posterizing the only pattern I had a scan of and it did a fairly nice job. (URL) You could use a few paint (...)

Hi all, I am (still) working on an animation tool (LD4Dmodeler 2, www.rolandmelkert.nl...4DModeler) Thinking about the large amount of controls (for controlling hinges, position and rotation etc), it might be interesting to support a tablet. The (...) (19 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think the key difference is the twisted nature of this surface. I think the twist makes it impossible to partition the surface into polygons without having a mix of convex and concave seams. I'd like to be proven wrong. I don't have one of (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Oh, I don't know about that 1 pixel business. The problem with the surface as it's currently written, is that it flip-flops between convex and concave every at every triangle. But if you ignore the triangles and spin the surface around a bit, (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I'm pretty sure that's going to be the problem with *any* partition of this surface into polygons. Having a mathematical description of the surface would be good, because then we could potentially create a primitive for the surface, and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) OK, I tried it and realise now that it doesn't solve the problem at all, just moves the outside curves to a different spot. I think Don is right, a more complex torus-like curve is necessary to represent it properly. ROSCO (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) Well, I thought about this, and what I would try is changing the polygons thus: If the top points are A1-5 and the bottom points are B1-5, keep the A2-B1, A3-B2 as currently, but instead of A2-B2 etc, use A3-B1, A4-B2, etc. I think that would (...)

(...) I'm not sure about that. The surface as it's written is extremely lumpy, and the conditional lines work as expected given the lumps in the surface. You also get an ugly shading effect with flat shading because of those lumps. (URL) There's (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) I would appreciate it if the blocking was turned off. Alternately, if ML-CAD allows colors to be set via ldconfig.ldr, that would be good for me. Truthfully, I haven't even checked for this support; I don't have time right now. Steve (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)
