Hi folks,
I'm starting to get into LDRAW (with ML-Cad, fantastic program!), using it
mainly for documenting building ideas so I can take things apart again. I've
noticed that there aren't any painted flat baseplates in the parts list, such
as 6071 Forestmen's Crossing or the Paradisa beaches, and I'd love to be able
to use them in my virtual creations. From the discussions I've read it's
apparently not difficult to transfer a bitmap onto a planar surface (to make
torsos etc.) but what about studded surfaces? Could a beginner like me handle
making a part like this, or is it a really finicky operation better left to you
pros?
Thanks for any advice!
Heather

| (...) You reminded me of a question I had once before. I've used BMP2DAT a few times with success limited by my own ineptitude, but it always seems to generate really big DAT files. Am I doing something wrong, or is this the nature of the beast? (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad)
