  Re: Anyone heard of Okino software?
 
(...) Ya know, one of the really fun things about using LUGNET's web interface is that hang time after you click the "Post" button. You get about 30 seconds to just re-read and re-examine while you new message is sent over the pipe to the server. (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) I think it's using an isometric matrix for the view, which leads to this effect. This matches the default output from ldraw.exe. Here is 3004.dat rendered with ldraw.exe and then scaled down to match the size of the image on the part tracker: (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Anyone heard of Okino software?
 
I just stumbled across the website for Okino software. Is anyone familiar with this? There's a explanation of how to get started with LDraw, and then convert model files to Okino rendering software. I haven't had time to do more than scan through (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) To my eyes, the proportions of that picture are completely off, that part should have the proportions of a normal 1x2[x1], right? Not 1x2x0.72 or whatever that picture shows... (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) I'm pretty sure the ldconfig.ldr colors are designed to match the brick colors when no lighting is used (as in the second LDView picture above. If the ambient and diffuse terms add up to more than 1.0, the original colors end up getting washed (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) I'm open to improving the unofficial ldliterc.dat colors, but I don't expect we want to use all the default ldlite colors -- unless they were tuned away from the original LDraw (ie, 4-bit VGA) colors. The other issue is if we the built-in (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) The actual truth may be lost to the sands of time, but I believe the ldlite colors were possibly copied from the original LDRAW colors, and the ldlite Windows lighting code was matched to that? I know I did a good amount of twiddling in the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) looked at the ldliterc.dat above, and color 7 has the same setting as what is in ldconfig.ldr. However, the actual color being rendered seems too light. For example, here is an image from the part tracker: (URL) Here is the same part rendered (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Preparing a L(EGO)Draw part for the Parts Tracker – A review
 
Thanks, Willy, for this very informative article... I discovered many things (among them, Syncedit that looks VERY interesting - how did I miss its announcement???). (...) Here you had a favorable situation with mostly flat surfaces. Similarly I (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
