Hi All I have developed a program called Peeron_to_MLCad. It's useful to simplify the initial phase of implementation of existing Lego sets. With Peeron_to_MLCad is possible to reduce drastically the time needed to select the parts and find the (...)

(...) Yep. I created a minifig and imported the 3DS file into MeshLab. The improper BFC is very apparent. (You can see how part authors simply created one half of a part and then mirrored the primitives to create the other half.) -Mike (15 years ago, 14-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Sorry about that, the program may only work with the geometry so all the parts/primitves would probably need to be inlined. It also may need to have a DAT extention rather than MPD. (15 years ago, 11-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

The materials are imported properly into Blender, but whether they would be exported as .obj is a guess on my part. Materials are better in this case, not textures. As for Blender being a "pig" program, it's a 9MB download that is completely free, (...) (15 years ago, 10-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You could import the files into Blender3D and export them to .obj format. It probably won't look very pretty though. -Stefan- (15 years ago, 10-Apr-09, to lugnet.cad.dev)
