 | | New part: Brick 1 x 8 without Centerstuds [DAT]
|
|
I noticed that the old 1 x 8 brick without centerstuds has not been created for LDraw, yet. This part is not even listed in the Peeron database either. This variant is used in the CA period a lot, although I have a red brick which seems ABS to me. (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Oh THANK YOU! That was it! I don't remember seeing that in the tutorials that I was going through, but that was it. Thank you so much. OK, now that I've got that part down, my next question has to do with creating and rendering stickers. How (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) OK, the problem is starting with road.ldr. That makes it the first model in the file, which is always what L3P uses to generate the POV file. And because you only added road.ldr and figure.ldr to the 3rd model, it never gets rendered. What you (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I must not be doing something right, because I tried it again. Here's what I'm doing. Model 1 is a "road.ldr" which is a grey, straight road plate and a stop sign on it. Model 2 is a "figure.ldr" consisting of a simple minifig. Here are the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Chris, I've never used L3PAO, so I cannot say. In MLCad I'd try creating a new model in your current MPD that uses Model 1, and Model 2. I'd use MLCad's MPD ordering menu to make sure your top level model (your new model) is the first in the (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Chris, I'll assume you are using MPD format, because you talk of importing. Is this correct? What tool did you use to go from LDraw file to POV-Ray? Are you sure that tool supports MPD? After you import model 1 and model 2, you might want (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

I seem to have a problem with Mlcad and importing models and rendering them. Let me give you an example... Model #1 would be a road, tree, and roadsign. Model #2 would either be a minifig or a car. NewModel: The saved file of Model 1 & 2. Now in (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

| | Re: Stickers in different colors

How do you create stickers in Ldraw? And would these render out to POV? I've tried a couple of things, but either the programs don't work well or the stickers don't render out. (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | Stickers in different colors

I found a sticker with black town car grille pattern in good condition, so I'm going to create this sticker in LDraw. This sticker has been used in a few different colors: * Black pattern on yellow surface (set 646) * Black pattern on red surface (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
