  Re: Tool to reconstruct models from POV files
 
All right, I'm finished. You can download it from my LDraw tools page: (URL) works with version 1.3 and 1.4 beta of L3P. You need to have the Windows Scripting Host installed in order to run it, which should already be the case with nearly everyone. (...) (16 years ago, 4-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Tool to reconstruct models from POV files
 
(...) Hehe. I'm almost done already. :) Only a few more hours to go. Luckily, the relevant syntax hasn't changed between L3P 1.3 and 1.4 and the process overall is surprisingly simple. -Mike (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Tool to reconstruct models from POV files
 
(...) Such a tool already exists (with limitations), although it is probably a bit old by now. Take a look at the bottom of this page: (URL) written in Delphi (Pascal), and you're welcome to have the source if it can help you in any way. (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Render Effects, (Was: Re: L3P Question)
 
(...) This sounds quite a lot like my Christmas tree lights, a render from 1999, (URL) go down the page a bit. This render is only illuminated by the lights in the Christmas tree, no external light sources. Please note that I have not tried this (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Render Effects, (Was: Re: L3P Question)
 
(...) Got it. So although there is a "-ar" flag, it is not fully capable yet. I assume therefore that any of Anton's parts I wanted to use I would have to extract from his library and insert into my POV file, along with any required rotations or (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: MLCad being used by Lego Universe dev team?
 
(...) So do I. I definitely think it's very cool to have a shot from my program show up in an official page at lego.com. Of course, as far as I can tell, LEGO Universe is being developed by a 3rd party (NetDevil Studios), so the shot presumably (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Tool to reconstruct models from POV files
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: MLCad being used by Lego Universe dev team?
 
(...) I think that's pretty darned cool. Jim (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  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)
