(...) What's the Pro with MPD files in this case? My experince is that it makes programming much, much more difficult, and the gain is...(?) In LDA, I inlined all submodels into one model DAT* file for each Frame, and then one Master DAT file that (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation)

(...) That's also my approach. I have never used any animation system. I don't know what are the best animation concepts. As a programmer i only know what i can eventually do (my skills), what is my preferred approach (my talent) and what i consider (...)

(...) Should be pretty close, they share the same codebase. However I think some opengl implementations may limit your canvas to a bit less than infinite for ldglite. I think you get pretty good antialiasing just by scaling by 2 or 3. Here are some (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Sounds like it can't find the parts. For ldglite, you can use the instructions here. For BrickSmith, I suspect your best bet is to use the one that comes with the parts. (URL) luck, Don (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

It is good to see new LDRAW applications (Bricksmith 1.0, LDGLite 1.1.18) coming out for the Mac. However, I can't seem to get either of them to display some of the .dat files I've collected from various sources. I have viewed them using MLCad on a (...)
