Due to my recent re-interest in rendering LDraw models, I got tired of
having to boot into Windows every time I wanted to make an MPD file. I’m
pleased to announce that MPD Wizard is now available for Mac OSX:

Hi Orion,
More Mac software is always nice!
By the way, you can drag-and-drop models between Bricksmith’s file contents
outline and assemble an MPD that way. But it would probably be more useful
for your purposes if you could drag in files from the Finder, wouldn’t it?

Considering Bricksmith’s seamless support for submodels, I didn’t initially see
the need for MPD Wizard (my own
Mac MPD Utility is
wonkier and long since obsolete). However, as Allen hints, I realize MPD Wizard
does provide a few functions not available in Bricksmith:
- Assembling/disassembling MPDs from separate files (how does this help rendering?)
- Optionally including unofficial parts as submodels
So, thanks for the addition to the arsenal, Orion!
Jim

| (...) This doesn't help with rendering. (...) This does, big time. I can use newer versions of official parts that may have better primitive usage. LDView helps with this a little bit better than L3P but I find a self contained MPD more convenient. (15 years ago, 18-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
