 | | Tool to reconstruct models from POV files
|
|
I'm thinking of creating a tool to reconstruct LDR models from L3P-generated POV files. I'm wondering before I start what particular potential problems I should look out for. POV SDL is quirky to say the least, but at first glance L3P's output (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I don't think it's safe to assume that L3P won't change its POV output, and I don't think it's fair for the existence of a tool that depends on that output to discourage Lars from changing it. (I know you weren't implying that it would, but (...) (16 years ago, 3-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

All right, I'm finished. You can download it from my LDraw tools page: (URL) works with version 1.3 and 1.4 beta of L3P. You need to have the Windows Scripting Host installed in order to run it, which should already be the case with nearly everyone. (...) (16 years ago, 4-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Please, no guilt trips. Thanks. The program has had, what, one update in seven years? I'm supposed to refrain from developing my own software based on that? -Mike (16 years ago, 5-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I wasn't trying to give you a guilt trip. You asked for "potential problems", and I saw that as one of them. I apologize if I came across as implying that it was a bigger "potential problem" than it really is. --Travis (16 years ago, 5-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
