(...) I'm not sure how to quantify 'usefulness' of a line command. If you want to make outlines on simulated curved surfaces in LDraw, conditional lines are vital. I can't think of another to accomplish this task. And making the outlines is fairly (...) (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

What is the point of Type 5 lines? It seems to me that they are a confusing and clunky method to display lines for the visible edges of rounded objects when having no line at all would be just as visually correct (and less taxing on the brain to (...) (22 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Can I get a :p in too? That page references this link (URL) appears to be kaput... PS: thanks for the BFC info, that's why I followed the link, to freshen my copy of LDAO so I can get the yinyang for my own self. My copy is too old to have it.

(...) Well, on the Mac at least, the only hardware at the moment that supports two sided lighting are the GeForce3, GeForce4 and the new Radeon 8500. Everything else is going to use software T&L.

Ken, We are obviously in the same area the moment. After completing the conversion of LdGLite to run under MacOS 8.6-9.2 (ie LdGLite (Mac)), I turned my attention to the two biggest dissapointments to me, namely slow render speeds and quirky shading (...)

| | Question about DAT rendering

I've been toying around with a visual DAT editor/viewer for Mac OS X, and wanted to know if there is supposed to be any kind of guaranteed rendering order on commands within a DAT file. Obviously paying attention to STEP commands would be important, (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
