 | | New LDView screen saver mode
|
|
I don't include instructions in the release, but LDView 1.9.2 can now be used as a screen saver. This is still in the verification stage, and as such may lock/crash/reboot your computer, etc. (Note that it does none of these things on my computer.) (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes, that's the info I'm looking for. Thanks, Travis (and Vincent, too). Related question (for the parts officials, I suppose): Are there any plans (even tentative) to move towards adding this sort of stuff to official parts? Or is the current (...)

(...) I don't know if any official parts do it, but it is possible. Based on an earlier lugnet.cad.ray message, you do this: 0 L3P IFNOTPOV (regular ldraw code goes here) 0 L3P ELSEPOV 0 (POV-Ray code goes here, commented-out) 0 L3P ENDPOV You can (...)

| | Inline POV-Ray code?
|
|
I seem to recall that some curved parts have separate definitions in the parts file itself for POV-Ray to render them better. But I can't find any. Is this actually possible? Do such parts exist? Is there a "better" way (ie through L3P) to get (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

What's the story with upper vs. lower case in part filenames? In my brief survey of my parts directory, it looks like all the files use all upper case where they use letters (".DAT" and the "P" for patterned elements). Additionally, many parts (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
