(...) I think that many of the POV-Ray colors were tuned by the All-In-One Installer from LDraw.org. These are tuned for rendering. The LDconfig.ldr is not tuned for rendering. It is meant for creating building instructions. For this reason, I have (...) (14 years ago, 18-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) My process goes like this: 1) Find a relatively high-quality photo of the part and reorient it so it has the right proportions and faces me head-on. (I also keep the part itself handy for details the photo missed.) 2) Use Inkscape to trace (...) (14 years ago, 18-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I've been trying to use the fastrad.inc script with scenes generated by the new version (1.4) of L3P that supports LDConfig.ldr. However, the results are not nearly as attractive as they were with older versions of L3P. Anyone have an idea of what (...) (14 years ago, 18-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi Darrell, How about some of the hair/accessories from the recent Lego Minifigure series? (URL) like the Cirus Clown's hair or the Caveman's hair would be very hard to model using normal methods. Being a Lego Star Wars fan I'd like to see the (...) (14 years ago, 16-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

Hi Lee, I've started looking at the process of creating patterns for parts. I've been reading through Willy Tschager article "Pattern It: (URL) found a copy of Monzoom (Willy's recommended program for manipulating 2D shapes), but as it's in German I (...)

(...) The black sections on 973p74 are probably my mistake, since the basis of the pattern (without the Police decorations) was a copy of 973p73.

(...) Hi all, I'm late to this party - I'm kind of languishing through another LEGO Dark Age.. We recently got a new desktop 3D scanner at my work. I am trying to learn how to use it, so I'd be up for doing some parts. The process of making the (...) (14 years ago, 15-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I second that. I do not think there is a strict rule to follow. It depends mostly if main color adds or takes away something to the pattern. Check out my 973pw5 and how I interpreted: (URL) (14 years ago, 14-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
