Yes. I will look forward to that. Generally I am agreeing with you. I really
would like to be able
to create in a verctor based program patterns like this and convert it to
LDraw .dat but i did not found the right solution so far.
Still there are some patterns out there (e.g. the tile with the Astronatus
pic or some of the UFO tiles) I really dont want to draw even in a
vector-based program ;-)))). (hey.. i did not make that tile ;-)) )
Additionally i prefer a maybe not completely perfect part instead of no part
at all :). And the quality of the bitmapped parts I made are good. At my
homepage you can find POV-renderings of all my parts and i think if you dont
know they are bitmapped you would not notice it.
But a vectorized version is always better (of course).
Greetings,
Carsten
