I have written a program called L3DView which allows you to view LDraw
models in real-time 3D via OpenGL.  The program is available from:

http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~tcobbs/L3DView/

It supports both .DAT and .MPD files.  You will need a 3D-accelerated video
card with OpenGL acceleration to get reasonable frame rates.  I would
suggest opening a small model first to get a feel for the speed you can
expect.  It has currently only been tested with nVidia-based video cards
(TNT, TNT2 M64, TNT2 Ultra, GeForce2 GTS have all been used), so I do not
know how well it will work with other video cards.  I do not have access to
other video cards at the moment, so I have no way to test them myself.

Let me know what you think, as well as any problems you may have.

Nifty.  Since it uses OpenGL do you plan to port it, or better yet, make
the source available?

I like the real transparent pieces, I skipped that and went with the cheesy
stippled ones in ldglite.  And I got stuck on the spinning thing.  Now that
everyone else can spin, I'm gonna have to go back and fix that. :-)
