  Is there a tool Head-Generator?
 
Hello, is there any existing tool for making patterns on minifig heads? I mean like you can scan a head, make a plan (2D) pattern in Ldraw/MLCAD and than the tool will lay it over the head surface (3D). This would be a great tool to make head (...)

  Re: SR 3D Builder Version 0.2.2.9 Available
 
(...) Sorry, I made an error. The Radeon 9600 does support DirectX9 (I confused it with the 9200). But the board does only support shader model 2.0. So the failure might be the result of the dev using an higher version shader model. (19 years ago, 9-Jan-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: SR 3D Builder Version 0.2.2.9 Available
 
(...) De developer is probably using the DirectX 9 interface, GeForce2 and Radeon 9600 don't support hardware DirectX 9. LDView etc uses OpenGL, which is less picky because it's backwards compatible as long you don't use any fancy effects. (19 years ago, 9-Jan-08, to lugnet.cad)
