 | | Question to parts authors about BFC CERTIFY [DAT]
|
|
As many parts authors are aware, LDView produces a warning if it finds more than one instance of the CERTIFY option among the BFC commands in one file. For example, the following will produce a warning on the second BFC command: 0 BFC CERTIFY CCW 1 (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)

Here's a resurrection of an OLD thread... :-) I've recently begun to store all my TECHNIC sets, which range from about 1988 to present, all have been stored MISB (well, OK, they've been stored in the original box after I opened, inventoried by bag, (...) (18 years ago, 8-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) My first guess would be the -z-6000 arg. I think this places the near clipping plane way back behind the camera. What you want to do is put it in front of the camera, as far out as you can without clipping the model, so you squeeze the space (...) (18 years ago, 5-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

hi, any ideas what's wrong with this batch file: set LDGLITE_EXE="C:\Prog...ad\LDGLite 1.1.8\ldglite" for %%a in ("MOTM_*.dat","MOTM_...OTM_*.mpd" ) do %LDGLITE_EXE% %%a -fh -v10240,7680 -s2 -z-6000 -Z6000 -i1 -q -cg25,45,0 -mS%%~na1.png for %%a in (...)

(...) I found that performance went down somewhat when I copied and pre-translated all the studs too. I could be creating a memory cache penalty. Anyway it is only one matrix multiply per stud (stud is already flattened in itself), which goes onto (...) (18 years ago, 9-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The thread seems to be splitting from the original point, It is a fact that OpenGL generally places a depth of 16 on any transforms. If an LDRAW model in MPD format was presented to OpenGL as a raw data block I suspect that OpenGL would easily hit (...) (18 years ago, 8-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually on modern cards strips are always slower than optmized lists. You can always try adding degenerate triangles to stitch strips together to save the cost of multiple render calls (too bad PC cards don't support a primitive reset index). (...) (18 years ago, 8-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well, typically the multiplies that occur for different studs have the same rotation and scaling aspects, the only thing different is the position. So instead of repeating the multiplication on the original matrix, if the top left 3x3 values (...) (18 years ago, 7-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Okay... 15% speedup is substantial... that means that it's better to pre-transform the subfiles when generating the operations for the current file. I won't worry about the maximum depth any more then. (...) How does a renderer know which (...) (18 years ago, 7-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Same here for LDView. LDView always flattens part geometry, and this seems to improve performance enough to be noticed. LDView does use a display list for each part, and a nested display list for each nesting level above that (as long as you (...) (18 years ago, 7-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
