(...) You might be surprised about the performance. LDView cheats and only sorts the centroids of the transparent triangles, but it does do a brute force sort (via qsort()) of all transparent triangles every frame (assuming you have that option (...) (18 years ago, 14-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The other day I started from scratch, installed 027, then the latest official release, and then all the unofficial parts. I did not run into any missing primatives. Previously I had had problems with some full width liftarms and axleholes. (...) (18 years ago, 14-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) Is there a "scan parts" command somewhere in the mlcad file menu? Maybe that'll fix it. Otherwise, you might get a better answer for this in the mlcad newsgroup, so I'm sending you there. (18 years ago, 14-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Ahem Ahem... I know that at least Mladen and myself do this and I've been spreading the word. You pretty much have to if you design mecha. I do, however, agree that it is annoying to deal with when people don't (I'll name no names... Swami). (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Unfortunately this is a tradeoff between quality and speed, if I sorted by triangle it would give better results but would also be much slower to render. There are other options for transparency sorting, like doing a Z init pass or rendering (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)
