  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
Great stuff here with those colors. I've created a tutorial in Dutch for my homepage on how to use the new colors. Question: how do I get LPub (4.0.0.x) to work with these configuration files? (16 years ago, 20-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Thanks Scott, I got it to work. Strange that I've never given this any attention before... :-) (16 years ago, 20-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) The intensity of a colour is usually given by I = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B so your cutoff should be based on that rather than a simple mean. Tim (16 years ago, 20-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) Yeah! That IS the problem with colors. You can adjust so many settings, that on an other monitor it looks completely different. I am using WinXP with a ATI Radeon 9250 and a TFT Benq monitor. So far I can see windows does not provide a (...) (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) BTW, both these pictures look quite awful on my Windows CRT monitor with a gamma of 1.0. I had to copy them to my painting program and adjust the gamma correction to 2.60 before I realized that the engine in Comparison.jpg was gray/yellow, not (...) (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) Depends on the purpose :-) For instructions, the black lines make every part very obvious, while for a nice picture of the model, the softer lines look better (although the contrast in comparison2.jpg is *too* low - you can't see the parts at (...) (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

(2 URLs) So, you guys think that models look better with black edges? (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) Why don't you use #000000 as the edge color? I think that looks OK even against the default black color (LDraw color 0), while the edge lines around the black in you image above are difficult to see. --Travis (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) I agree with you. These are the LDraw Core Colors with official LEGO RGBs Scott has worked on with a #1F1F1F edge I added for the test: (URL) You can do some tests yourself. Files are here: (URL) I'm not sure on the lighter edge for dark (...) (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) You will need to over-write your existing MLCAD.cfg that should be located in the LDraw directory. Nothing else needs to be done. Just open MLCAD and open your models to see them in the new colors. Scott (16 years ago, 19-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
