(...) Yeah, I checked it out the first time it was mentioned. I even poked around in the LDView CVS archives for a few minutes looking for hints of the magic syntax before the Walled Garden stuff got posted. Looks very promising! I guess I'm finally (...)

(...) No one in his right mind would do this baseplate without using texture mapping. OK, Philo would, but I question that he's right in the head on a regular basis. :) Even so, the question would be, should one duplicate the nature of the stippling (...)

As has been mentioned already in this thread, there is an ongoing effort to add support for texture maps to the LDraw format via meta commands. What hasn't been mentioned is that the current LSC is basically in favor of ratifying support for (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

And again, I forgot to include a bit. And second-posting about something very cool! Don, Be sure to take a look at Joshua's texture mapping primer/exposition on Facebook: (URL) good stuff, and could have very good benefits to LDraw. Steve (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I've been thinking about that talk of limiting the colour definitions in LDConfig.ldr to part colours with a few expectations, and I agree with that. But I wish to throw in an idea that I don't even believe in myself but yet want to air. Is it (...) (15 years ago, 10-Feb-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
