When I'm done with my current project I think I will see about starting to create a bones system for LDraw minifigs so that they can be posed in a manner similar to a lot of official Lego software. I think I will do this in Daz, which AFAIK is free (...) (16 years ago, 6-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Your bulbs have a yellow tint, which may cause the "glow" to be more apparent. It has been suggested to me elsewhere to use HDR, so I might try that. -Mike (16 years ago, 6-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I believe that MLCad scans all files in unofficial directories at startup. So having a whole bunch of parts in unofficial directories slows down startup, but allows the directories to be used without having to rescan for parts every time a new (...) (16 years ago, 5-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Part names have a maximum length of 64 characters. Some rare parts run up against this limit. Consequently, I don't think adding "Official" to official part names is a viable solution. (To be honest, it would also by really annoying to see (...) (16 years ago, 5-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

Hi all, Recently I started working with the unofficial part files in a folder "Unofficial" in the folder of LDraw. I added this folder to the MLCad.ini file in the section [SCAN ORDER]. Next I deleted the parts.lst file and let MLCad create a new (...) (16 years ago, 5-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
