About a year ago I read a post asking what Datsville looked like since the
pictures on the Lugnet webpage are broken links. This inspired me to see if I
could render Datsville on my competer. I ran rev014 through L3P and it spit
back a 12MB (!) file. Needless to say my computer didn’t have enough memory to
parse and render a file this large so I gave up and the idea languished.
Well I got bored tonight and the idea struck me to try again, seeing as I now
have processing power and memory on my computer. This time I was smart and
rendered each indiviual section (15 in all). Ever breaking it down into smaller
parts in order for the file to render, I had to turn off studs (this with 1GB of
RAM and virtual memory set at 4GB!).
After a bit of Photoshop magic I bring you Datsville. It still not perfect (I
left out the people) but I think it’ll do:
Large file, 4000 x 3000 (warning 2.7MB):

Small file, 1024 x 768:

Note: this is rev014 of Datsville, if someone wants to point me towards a newer
version...

It's available at my LDraw page - (URL) LDBoxer I was able to render sections of Datsville in LDView at 6-15fps! There (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.models)

| (...) The next major revision of LDView is far enough along to render Datsville. (The current version will crash no matter what your hardware is, while the new version seems to only use around 170MB of RAM to display Datsville.) It doesn't do so at (...)
