(...) I don't think it's safe to assume that L3P won't change its POV output, and I don't think it's fair for the existence of a tool that depends on that output to discourage Lars from changing it. (I know you weren't implying that it would, but (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

| | Tool to reconstruct models from POV files

I'm thinking of creating a tool to reconstruct LDR models from L3P-generated POV files. I'm wondering before I start what particular potential problems I should look out for. POV SDL is quirky to say the least, but at first glance L3P's output (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

The LDraw suite of tools might be the easier method to create simple models from scratch than the heavyweight parts-authoring tools they probably use in-house. In fact, I still find the original ledit.exe by James Jessiman to be in many ways more (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Hey guys, Got the latest Lego Universe newsletter, and found this interesting. (URL) screenshot of the CAD bricks seems to be from MLCad, with the edge lines and stud resolution. I would think they'd be using Lego's internal Maya library. -Stefan- (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
