  Re: Model scales?
 
(...) Hi Edwin, Look in the L3P file for the main model reference. For example: object { _6825_dot_mpd #if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end { Color7 } } Now all you need to add is a scale directive (I've indented the original code for (...) (17 years ago, 17-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Model scales?
 
I have seen some Pov-Ray renderings that a normal scale model placed on a mini or nano scale model, How to do that? I really want to know the way to do it. Can anyone help? Erwin~ (17 years ago, 16-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)

  Yet Another Color List
 
As if there weren't enough of color lists, I've also made one myself.. This one is from an L3 user's point of view, that is L3Lab and L3P. So far, it lists colors from ldconfig and Lugnet Color Images Guide, but I may add other sources. For a user (...) (17 years ago, 15-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.color)

  Are the metallic colours defined in LDraw?
 
Hi all, I was wondering if the metallic colours from Racers sets etc (what I call faux-chrome) have ldraw colours. I can't find the numbers for them but that doesn't guarantee they don't have numbers. In my opinion there should be if there is not as (...) (17 years ago, 15-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Another matrix inverse question (and answer?)
 
(...) Yes, that makes sense. Looking back at Travis's code, I see that's basically what's happening there, except that some references to the original matrix should be references to the inverse matrix. He probably used it only to invert rotations (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Another matrix inverse question
 
(...) Som further clarification... I was back in the 3x3 matrix world when I wrote this: the true inverse of a rotation + translate in psuedo-4x4 notation is as follow [ R11 R12 R13 x R21 R22 R23 y R31 R32 R33 z 0 0 0 1 ] goes to [ R11 R21 R31 xp (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Another matrix inverse question (and answer?)
 
(...) If it's only rotations then it should make sense. Another way of passing the information is as follows (M,x) where M is the matrix and x is the translation vector the inverse of this is (Mi,-Mi x) which you can see by showing that an operation (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Another matrix inverse question (and answer?)
 
(...) I think I just answered my own question. I applied the inverse rotation (calculated by swapping the off-diagonals) to the translation row of the original transformation and then negated it to get the translation row in the inverse. That worked (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Another matrix inverse question
 
(...) I can see the advantages of swapping the off-diagonals for inverting the rotation(s), but that still leaves the question of how to invert translations. In a current example I'm looking at, a minifig hand, the hand is rotated 45 degrees, (...) (18 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Another matrix inverse question
 
(...) Quarternions are, IMO, a bad way to do what matrices do well. For a rotation you don't need to (and shouldn't) calculate the inverse by a routine. Just transpose (swap the off-diagonals) and you have the inverse. There's no point running (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Another matrix inverse question
 
Thanks for the information, everyone. Although the test case I posted was arbitrary, I did some other tests with matrices that were used for rotations and translations. The upper-left 3x3 seemed to be OK, but the bottom row had problems. I'm (...) (18 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LSynth Service
