 | | non-lego rendering using various LDraw tools —Steve Bliss
|
| | | I've been messing around with a rendered scene for a music CD-R. I'm really happy with how it turned out, so I thought I'd share it. More on-topic, I used a number of LDraw tools in the creation process. (URL) Rendered CD booklet cover>> Bonus (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

| | | | (...) Hey, that's pretty cool. Did you use the Triangle executable I built? I replaced it with a new build containing the math fix Travis mentioned, but forgot to mention that I did so. I guess whatever you used must've worked though. (...) How does (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

| | | | (...) Yep, thanks for doing that. Then I turned around and installed Cygwin, so now I probably have gcc available -- I think. (...) Heh. Yeah, considering how raw my edge-construction code is, a few small math errors wouldn't be noticeable. And the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

| | | | (...) I'd imagine so. I don't actually use Cygwin. I use the (URL) mingw> version of gcc on Windows because I don't want to worry about the Cygwin unix compatibility DLL. (...) It's not too hard to detect holes while you're vectorizing edges, just (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)

| | | | (...) OK. My edges already were counterclockwise. :) Umm, for inside outlines (inlines?) to be clockwise, that's 'clockwise' from a global view, right? If so, then my inlines are already clockwise. But I don't know which ones are inlines, and which (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.ideas, FTX)
