  Re: Fun with LDView Fly Through (A Minifig's Eye View)
 
(...) Jim, You're welcome! What you could do with the scene is put a hundreds of thousands unit tall white box (not an infinitive plane, they'll add up to your rendering times!) behind the camera, it'll give you some indirectional lighting like I (...)

  Re: Fun with LDView Fly Through (A Minifig's Eye View)
 
(...) Hi, Anton! Thanks for the explanation. That is a straightforward conversion. I divided LDView's reported camera location and lookat coordinates by 2.5, reversed the sign of the y coordinates, used the default right vector (positive x), and it (...)

  Re: Fun with LDView Fly Through (A Minifig's Eye View)
 
(...) Jim, In the Converter I divide every coordinate the LDraw model has by 2.5 and then I end up with the millimeter system I digitized everything with. I have (since I started to build my Library starting in 1992) always used millimeters when (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Neat. I have also (URL) used> (URL) autotrace>, a similar program. I haven't used either enough to recommend one over the other, but for some reason I do recall preferring potrace's output. (I've only used the programs, not programmed with (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Fun with LDView Fly Through (A Minifig's Eye View)
 
(...) Ah, that's a logical explanation. I just looked in the manual.txt that came with Anton's part library and it does state that it considers a POV-Ray unit 1 millimeter. If one (URL) LDraw unit> is equal to 0.4 mm, then the conversion probably is (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing Bitsticker (and other txt/bit-to-dat utilities)
 
(...) Hmmm. It would appear that using the Potrace API and the Triangle API would do almost all the difficult work for software of this sort. I might look into restarting the project although I'm not sure how far I could get with it. Of course if (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing Bitsticker (and other txt/bit-to-dat utilities)
 
--snip-- (...) Unfortunately I got too busy with other things and kind of let is slide. With a rewrite in a compiled language and using a decent triangulation (such as the one Ross uses) and vectorisation algorithm I suspect it could be made to work (...)
