Here's another approach:
Create a file whereever you've got ldlite.exe. Call this file onepart.bat,
and put the following commands in it:
erase c:\ldraw\bitmap\*.*
start /wait ldlite %1 -MS -C%2
move c:\ldraw\bitmap\*.* c:\ldraw\cat\%1-%2.bmp
Change 'c:\ldraw' to wherever you've got ldraw installed. 'c:\ldraw\cat'
is just the name I chose for a directory to hold the output files. Feel
free to use a different name.
Next, create a file called allcolor.bat. In this file, put the commands:
call onepart.bat %1 0
call onepart.bat %1 1
call onepart.bat %1 2
call onepart.bat %1 4
call onepart.bat %1 5
call onepart.bat %1 7
call onepart.bat %1 8
call onepart.bat %1 14
call onepart.bat %1 15
Notice that the numbers on the end of the line are color codes for LDraw.
Repeat the command for all the colors you want to generate (see
<http://www.ldraw.org/faq/> for a list of all the colors.
FINALLY, go to a DOS prompt. CD to the ldlite directory. Type this
command.
FOR %f in (c:\ldraw\parts\*.dat) DO CALL allcolor.bat %f
Watch the results, or go to lunch. Your choice.
BTW, each set of images in a single color are going to take about 80MB on
your hard drive. Be sure to have enough room to store all the results.

| (...) Is this command (FOR) actually a DOS compatible batch command, or is it only available on NT (cmd) I'm asking this, because I don't remember a DOS (FOR) batch command, at least with this format. Thanks, for any info. See ya Rui Martins (24 years ago, 16-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)
