Re: fixed part: JW's parts —Ryan Dennett

OK here is my judgement. (...) Very good. The lines look good even in .5x 3d view, but on the front side the green lines do not extend to the edge like on the back side. Also like many of your other road plates, it's missing a fair amount of studs. (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Re: fixed part: JW's parts —Jonathan Wilson

Re: fixed part: JW's parts —Jonathan Wilson

when i said i was lousy. i ment at the formulae, not the basic math. i do not know enough to write a renderer or anything but i know enough to be able to figure out the right sizes of quads to put in to my parts. (25 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
