LDGLite (see http://www.ldraw.org/reference/linux for installation
instructions on Linux) can convert DAT and MPD files to PNG:
ldglite-run -i2 -ms model.mpd
Using netpbm/pbmplus (and tcsh) it is easy to convert the PNG files
to GIF and JPEG:
foreach file ( /usr/local/share/ldraw/bitmap/model*.png )
pngtopnm < ${file} | cjpeg > `basename ${file} .png`.jpeg
pngtopnm < ${file} | ppmtogif > `basename ${file} .png`.gif
end
And if you want to improve the looks of the model, you can render
the model in double size, and then scale down the images:
ldglite-run -i2 -ms -s2 -w2 model.mpd
foreach file ( /usr/local/share/ldraw/bitmap/model*.png )
pngtopnm < ${file} | pnmscale 0.5 | cjpeg > `basename ${file} .png`.jpeg
pngtopnm < ${file} | pnmscale 0.5 | ppmtogif > `basename ${file} .png`.gif
end
Play well,
Jacob
