(...) I totally forgot that the old version of the site was still online. That's pretty cool :-) I seem to recall a photo taken with me and the Jessimans, maybe I'm misremembering. I think what's there might be it, thanks, Travis! -Tim (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.people)

(...) If you can work out regions of identical colour I believe there is a theory that says you can fill it with no more than 2N (where N is the number of corners) triangles. This is probably a good way of doing it for complex shapes. If I ever get (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Keep in mind that doing it both ways is probably a lot more difficult than just doing it one way. For example, if you have a 1-pixel thick plus sign, you need at least 3 quads (to avoid overlap), and your algorithm needs to deal nicely with (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Sorry, long quads is really what I meant by a line. So, that's exactly what the program does. I should have an update out later today or tomorrow that combines pixels vertically as well. Thanks, Scott (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Scott, It will be better if you put adjacent horizontal pixels into a long quad rather than a line. The renderer POV-Ray does not support the concept of lines, so they are tossed when L3P converts you LDraw file to a POV file. Kevin (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)

I have just tested your prog. It seems to me that you put for every pixel one quad. This produces an enormous amount of bytes in a file. There was already a prog that was called bmp2dat. If you could rearrange the quads that are direct beside into (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)
