(...) I split the terrain mesh into many pieces and it renders much more quickly now. It still takes a while to load initially though. -Mike (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I like the idea of a Lego globe or world! Having recently been involved in building an OpenStreetMap tileserver I came across the following project that might be of interest: Isometric 3D map of Czech Republic (URL) this page that gives you a (...) (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I found the sources, and did a quick fix (no hardcoded files anymore). It still only generates a BlockCAD .LGO file but that is easily translated to LDRAW with BlockCAD. (URL) no part optimizing - the whole landscape is built with 1x1 bricks (...) (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I think it was just a silly question, sorry. I meant somewhere in between the 3-D globe and 2-D map... but you can't really apply a square map to a round globe without squishing things. :) -Mike (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hmm, I don't think that would work too well - inevitably the action you want will be slightly different from the action you have in the library (e.g. each minifig action will require 4 different animation sequences, depending on whether he has (...) (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It could be nice if the tool switched between polygons and studs depending on the slope of the terrain. I like how some of the molded TLG baseplates aren't entirely covered by studs and have some empty spaces. -Mike (14 years ago, 30-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I guess that depends on whether you're talking about a 3-D LEGO globe or a 2-D LEGO map? I'm not sure I quite follow exactly what you're trying to do. I played around a while ago and got a program that would build an LDraw globe based on a 2-D (...) (14 years ago, 29-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad)
