Eduardo: (...) It is as far as I know practically impossible to render Datsville in POV-Ray at the moment. I think it is necessary with some "intelligent" stud and interior removal to reduce the model to a size most systems can cope with. Jacob (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

Jacob Sparre Andersen: (...) FYI, I am working on different methods and combinations of methods to decrease the number of polygons when rendering Datsville (or parts of). For example, to replace all bricks, plates, and tiles with boxes where it was (...) (23 years ago, 16-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I didn't realize that simplifying could be so complicated. :o) I have already made a program that suggests all bricks, plates, and tiles to be replaced. Before it performs the replacing, the user has the chance to deselect those parts that (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Yeah, but in the model creation process, no real time would be lost. If an automaitic utility were created to aid in the building process that would, say, ask for the requested element size, you could make a ttore brick that's 15 x 15 x 1, or (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That sounds very clever to me! (...) Sorry for being unclear, I just meant that the name of the part should be "brick", "plate" or "tile", with some size spesification afterwards, but nothing more. If the name includes anything besides the (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)

Tore, if you could create a tutorial while you're working on it on "How to Build Datsville", it might make a good addition to the reference section of ldraw.org. Anyway, it would give some information for people to chew on. Slap some screenshots on (...) (23 years ago, 17-Aug-01, to lugnet.cad)
