Hi all, I just discovered following pic on brickshelf: (2 URLs) Could anyone tell me how to render this way? BTRW: Great mini-MOC and a great rendering! Thanks and kind regards, Holger (URL) (19 years ago, 10-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Not related to the tracks but just thought I'd let you know that if you add a "+FN" to the command prompt box in POVray it will generate your images in the smaller and more web friendly (in many ways) PNG format. Tim (19 years ago, 8-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)

Recently I got my old collection back from my parents house, and a nice surprise was that there was an old MOC in there. (URL) It's somekind of supertrain, maxibus, fantasy vehicle.

I've created an .ldr file and it's complete except I can't get the rubber tracks to both meet and retain their characteristic tightness. (URL) MLCad skills only go so far and I can't get the right angle of rotation, I would be much obliged if some (...) (19 years ago, 8-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad)

| | Re: "Left" view

(...) Actually, front and back are the same in both projections. One might argue that since MLCad does the top and bottom views that we're expecting, that this invalidates the argument. However, remember that the LDraw coordinate system is flipped, (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

| | Re: "Left" view
|

(...) Hmm, maybe. But in both first- and third-angle projections, the central view/projection shows the same side of the object. In the case of MLCAD, when you choose 'front view', you are shown the front of the model. Same for top, bottom, and back (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
