  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7 available (ldGLite working and looks Marvelous)
 
(...) Are you *sure* you have erased the part image cache? In case you are using Windows pre 2000, it has problems. I've got to debug that. If you're savvy with the system, and are willing to dig in, it would be a big help. Drop me a note and I'll (...) (19 years ago, 19-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7 available (ldGLite working and looks Marvelous)
 
(...) Hi Kevin, I'm using Windows XP Pro so I can't help with testing on 2000 but anyway I had installed older versions of ldview and ldglite anyway and the problem seems to have gone away with the new ones. There is still little bit of a problem (...) (19 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) ldglite crops the images before writing them to a file. LPub does no cropping when rendering with ldglite. When rendering with LDView, LPub crops the images. Which renderer were you using when you see the cropping problem? (...) You're (...) (19 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It was rendered with LDview and parts [LDrawPart 3957:0], [LDrawPart 104:15] and [LDrawPart 4215a:39] are cut (3957 and 104 at the top and 4215a at the bottom). I note that the two cut at the top are tall and thin whilst that cut at the bottom (...) (19 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7 available (ldGLite working and looks Marvelous)
 
(...) Yes, the crop routine only checks the alpha channel when cropping. LPub used to crop using the RGB channels, but alpha channel is much more reliable. That is one of the many reasons I liked transparency. I'll check to make sure I don't have a (...) (19 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7 available (ldGLite working and looks Marvelous)
 
(...) Please note that the LDView beta will make transparent parts 100% transparent due to a problem with its alpha channel handling. That means that the entire transparent part will be cropped away unless you have edge lines turned on (and (...) (19 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7 available (ldGLite working and looks Marvelous)
 
(...) Great! One thing you do have to keep in mind when using LDView as the renderer is that LDView's background color will show through transparent pieces to some extent. The LPub background will also show through, but the color calculation that (...) (19 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Using LPub 2.3.0.7 and ldGLite 1.0.7 and removed that -Z9000 stuff, I still am unable to create images on my PC at home. Though ldGLite is working fine manually and LPub is doing something, no images are created. I managed to do so on my PC at (...) (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7
 
LOL My mistake... :-( Having read that indeed I needed a higher version, I must have thought 1.0.7 was 1.1.6. I actually E-mailed the wrong zip file from work to home... Ofcourse it works now and beginning to understand how to set things up to make (...) (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LPub 2.3.0.7
 
I have a few comments about some of the settings. (...) In case it's not clear, the Transparent check box makes default-colored items transparent; it does NOT make the background transparent. That can only be done on the command line (which LPub (...) (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.cad)

P.S. Would you mind sharing the settings for LPub as well? (19 years ago, 25-May-05, to lugnet.cad)
