I’m trying to generate GIF images of the LDRAW library in many different
colors, just like LUGNET’s PARTSREF. But, I can’t seem to generate high
quality images.
This is what I’m aiming for: (from
LUGNET’s PARTSREF)
And this what I’m generating:
I’m using LDAO with LDLITE 2.4 to generate the VEC (which are BMPs) and then
using ImageMagick 6.2.5 to convert to GIFs.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hi Dustin,
First mistake using GIF. Use PNG (preferable) or JPG. GIF can only have 256
colours which means a lot of neat shading can get lost. A second piece of
advice is generate the VEC at double size and then resize. Basically this would
involve running through thes commands
Use ldlite to generate double size BMP
convert -resize 50% PART.BMP PART.PNG
One further point. You probably want to use ldglite or ldview for your initial
generation as they are newer than ldlite.
