  Re: Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
(...) I have already implemented support for the sky vector and for camera roll, see (URL) perhaps it would be more convenient to have a -matrix option to directly specify the camera matrix ? I know POV supports the matrix keyword inside the camera. (...) (19 years ago, 3-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Version 3 follows. All parts need to be replaced. I fixed the cracks. I removed trailing zeros. I changed the precision to 4 decimals. I inset the teeth a tiny little bit to hide the convex backside. I removed two extra faces that were just adding a (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
(...) I tried to implement this functionality, but ran into a brick wall. The problem is that L3P doesn't allow for arbitrary camera positioning, so there's no way to convert LDView's arbitrary camera position into an L3P command line. Specifically, (...)

  Is it possible to use LDView as POV-Ray previewer?
 
Hi I am using it and I am really glad I've found it. But some models (or details) require better rendering, so I use POV-Ray. In POV, pinpointing exact camera_position and camera look_at parameters just by typing coordinates is real pain even when (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
Sorry I missed this in my first reply, but I just noticed. There's a minor modeling glitch that's resulting in extra polygons on one side (but not the other). Take a look at the circled sections (you can just make out the problem via the shading): (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
 
(...) You still need to remove trailing zeros. For example in the line above, 1.00 should be simply 1 and -0.000 should be 0. -Orion (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: New Part: 41530 Propellor 8 Blade 5 Diameter
 
(...) I don't expect it to be a problem, but if you do see seams, you can always have the subfile contain two blades, in which case the alignment between the files becomes exact. --Travis (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: 41530 Propellor 8 Blade 5 Diameter
 
(...) No, it's not an issue. Within a reasonable amount of error, of course. If subfiles are positioned orthoganally to each other, there should be no alignment errors. With this part, that's not possible. You can reduce the size of the calculation (...) (19 years ago, 2-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: New Part: x784 Technic Gear Hailfire Droid Wheel
