My converter has undergone a considerable update during the weekend. It is now called "max2dat", because it now handles the 3DS file format as well, and supports the two main export formats from 3dsmax. (The previous "max2dat" utility written in (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) How far 'percent wise' is the standard library bfc? In about 2 months i'm starting work on a rendering engine for LD4DModeler 2. I was hoping to 'assume' all parts are BFC so I can implement simple lighting. (20 years ago, 19-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello, I've been working on LD4DModeler 2 (on paper) tonight and i have a question regarding precision. The question is what is 'normal' to use for the amount of decimals that can be set by user interface controls. I was thinking 2 myself but if (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
