| | | I've been tinkering with diesel-electric bogies in MLCAD, and I'm having trouble getting the effect I want; the Train Wheel Holder 9V, while nice for quick and dirty generic bogies, just gets in the way when you're actually trying to do something (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | | (...) I think that's done with edge detection in POV or MegaPOV but I'm not sure. You could always ask him (or any other author of images you like). The problem I have with that approach is that parts of the same color blend together. take a look at (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

It's in the parts subfolder under your LDraw installation point. As to how to (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
