LDView version 3.0 Beta 1 is now available for public testing, in both source
and binary forms for Windows and Linux. You can find both at the new LDView
web page on SourceForge.net:

This is an official public beta test for LDView 3.0. LDView 3.0 has an
entirely new back end (both the rendering engine, and the LDraw file loading
engine). This allows for a few new features that would have been very
difficult before. However, it also means that there’s a much greater
potential for problems than in past releases. I’ve tried to reduce the
number of problems by going through three private alpha test releases. I
want to thank my alpha testers for their feedback.
This version has a bunch of new features, as well as a fair number of bug
fixes. Also, thanks to Peter Bartfai’s hard work, the Linux version has
finally been brought up-to-date. Testing of the Linux version would be
greatly appreciated.
The following is a short list of some of the more major new features:
- Significantly reduced memory usage and load time on large models.
- BFC (back-face culling) support.
- Toolbar for quick access to certain functionality.
Please see the full change history
here.
Note that the official LDView email address has also changed. The new one is
ldview@gmail.com. The new LDView home page reflects this change.

Hi Travis,
LDView never stops to amaze me :)
I have tested dozens of my personal files.
my config is win98se,i810,128Mo
First impression:
* faster loading
* much less swapping
* more robust
* more stable
Excellent work.
May be a bug, may be a feature, the sphere primitive looks good when solid (see
Hinge Stick Control) but looks strange when transparent (see Antenna top):

| (...) Thanks for the feedback. I played around, and couldn't get the odd behavior on transparent spheres. Could you send me the dat file, and also let me know if you have tranparent sorting turned on? Also, I assume that you don't get the weirdness (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
