  Late night in the Moscow Metro
 
Hi all, Recently I've become quite interested (a little addicted might even be more accurate) to Russian trains and Soviet architecture. Both have their own unique traits and styles which appear pretty much nowhere outside the former Soviet Bloc. (...)

  Re: LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
(...) Niels, I've seen your stuff. I need buildings for background and for interiors, pretty much just like Riot13 or any of the other by KGoldman. (URL) are lots and lots of LDraw vehicles, but no supporting scenery. I'm currently making my own, I (...) (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
(...) I don't know anything about Riot13, but I've made a few city-scenes in 5th element style... Piccies: (URL) What do you wish to animate? -NB (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) I forgot to mention -- the generator uses the 0 COLOR statement to define custom color values. But I don't think color 47 is tweaked very much. Steve (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) And I received plenty of info! Thanks to all who responded--your answers have been clear and thorough and very helpful. Dave! (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
(...) My unofficial version of Datsville is at: (URL) years, I have planned to revise it completely, and add versions with different levels of simplification, but I guess I'll never get the time. It's too huge to be rendered in POV, but you can (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) The key bit is the -W option -- it draws thick lines. The $scale is the width of the line, in pixels. For the ldraw/partsref/peeron images, we use -W3 (but we also set scale to -S3, for a 300% zoom). -Q is supposed to result in higher-quality, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
(...) Datsville lives up to that claim. I'm not sure where the "official" version is located at the moment, but I have a copy stored off-line. Play well, Jacob (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) You can also use "Save snapshot" in LDView to generate a similar image. If you set the edge lines to be always black, and set the Field of View to be 0.1, you'll get something like so: (URL) Cobbs (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
Has anyone created any LDraw files for large models or scenes? Something where a story could be animated? In a future/space settings? Something like Riot13: (URL) would be so nice if someone made something like that. :) (hint hint) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) LDLite or LDGLite, possibly with a special ldraw.ini color file that gives black edge lines (although the default for trans white might be black already), or maybe MegaPOV are all ways I can think to do it. Ask Dan Boger. (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) The black lines are normal edge lines (type 2 or 5). As has been mentioned, that was drawn by LDGlite which seems to use silly thick black lines to represent them. Different renderers use different settings (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) Nope, that's right: ldglite -a1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1 -ld -Q -v3000,3000 -W$scale -S$scale -i2 -MSfilename.png somedat.dat (I think, it's Steve's code) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) Looks to me like its rendered with ldglite, but i could be wrong. ROSCO (19 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Question about image generation
 
How is an image like this created: (URL) how are the black lines done? Is there a special command, or is it a function of some software platform unfamiliar to me? Any info is appreciated. Dave! (19 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Favorites file for sets
 
(...) The Peeron TOS is really restrictive for the amateur developper. My personal interest is that you are granted with the permission. This would immediatly change nothing for me but would be a great positive sign, a small step toward a direction (...) (19 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) or terms of service issues. The data indeed comes from Peeron. I added credits to Peeron, and I requested them for permission to use their data, and I'll pull the page down if they request me to. Sorry about that, Simone (19 years ago, 7-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Batch editing
 
I still get a blank page when I try the links... Tried to change the extension from html to htm, and that took me to a "page under construction"-page, but all the links from there were blank too... Anyways, that module sounds really nifty, but it (...) (19 years ago, 7-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
