    Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ??? —Don Heyse
   (...) The actual truth may be lost to the sands of time, but I believe the ldlite colors were possibly copied from the original LDRAW colors, and the ldlite Windows lighting code was matched to that? I know I did a good amount of twiddling in the (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

     (...) I'm pretty sure the ldconfig.ldr colors are designed to match the brick colors when no lighting is used (as in the second LDView picture above. If the ambient and diffuse terms add up to more than 1.0, the original colors end up getting washed (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

As such, -1,1,1 is the same as the -1000,1000,1000 that you have. (How's that for (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

     (...) I think knew that at one point based on the comment about "dist divisor". And I suspect I didn't reduce it to -1,1,1 so I could easily switch to a point light source at that location. (yeah, that's it... ;^) (...) It seems like the direction (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

   (...) I'm open to improving the unofficial ldliterc.dat colors, but I don't expect we want to use all the default ldlite colors -- unless they were tuned away from the original LDraw (ie, 4-bit VGA) colors. The other issue is if we the built-in (...) (17 years ago, 4-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
