    Code Pilot LDraw —Eric Albrecht
   I have begun the challenging task of modeling the dump truck from the Barcode Multi Set 8479. This huge model will require a lot of effort, but you can see some of the "work in progress" results below. The problem, of course, is that the (URL) Code (...)

   (...) Wonderful! (...) I should be able to do that, since it is indeed easier than Spybotics... But don't expect it so soon! (...) I have one ;o) Philo (14 years ago, 13-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: Code Pilot LDraw —Eric Albrecht
   (...) Thanks Philo! I really appreciate the effort this will take. I will just place another part (perhaps a Scout) in the model as a placeholder until a better replacement is available. If you could place even an early draft on the Parts Tracker, (...) (14 years ago, 13-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: Code Pilot LDraw —Philippe Hurbain
   (...) Little chance for that: doing a mockup takes time that would be essentially thrown away... But I'll post subparts as I build them. (...) Isn't it a bit too light? the grey seem washed out (as I thought it might be a bad setting of my screen, I (...) (14 years ago, 14-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: Code Pilot LDraw —Eric Albrecht
   (...) That's the result of several things, but mostly the reflectivity of the colors I'm using. When I have no background or floor like these images, there is nothing to block or scatter the area lights and HDR lights I use so you get bright (...)

   (...) That's what bothers the photographer in me ;o) (...) Maybe, yes. Black seems OK. Finally I did a mockup... Battery lid is done, still a lot of work for cover! (URL) (14 years ago, 15-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: Code Pilot LDraw —Eric Albrecht
   (...) I agree, and if these were final renders I would be more careful. But since they are just "work-in-progress" pictures, I just used the same lighting for each. For full models it works very well indeed. (...) True. Although you can see that (...) (14 years ago, 15-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
   
        Re: Code Pilot LDraw —Philippe Hurbain
   (...) Reading is in "landscape" mode, while RCX/Scout are in "portrait" mode. (...) Yep. Differences are very low anyway, except in the reader area. (...) Wow! (...) VERY blocky ;o) (...) Interesting to see the sequence. Do you follow LEGO building (...) (14 years ago, 15-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad)
   
        Re: Code Pilot LDraw —Eric Albrecht
   (...) Depends on the model. Some models I can "see ahead" enough to change the order to make it easier to build virtually. But with a model this big, I mostly follow along with the instructions. The file does NOT have instruction steps though (...) (14 years ago, 15-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad)
