This looks a pretty good way of doing the more complex torsos quickly (I assume
it is quicker than the manual method), although I have got pretty quick at
doing primitive-based versions, once I have drawn them up on graph paper. I
have definitely avoided the more recent space patterns: UFO, Insectoids, etc as
having too much fine detail to do easily in primitives - so this might be a
good test of your program. However, I do see a lot of horizontal "scan lines"
when viewing your torsos obliquely at x6 in LDLite, and some "noise" around the
smaller parts of the pattern, so I still think primitive-based versions will
give the best quality, overall ..... but they take time to generate.
Just a note that a primitive-based version of the fireman pattern is already in
the current voting
(http://www.ldraw.org/memorial/archive/voting/vote9906.html), so if you are
planning on doing others please make use of the parts tracker
(http://www3.hmc.edu/~zbenz/parttracker/partlist.shtml), or at least let me
know as I have quite a few already drawn out ready to code up.
Also with a little work on your code to remove the trailing decimal zeroes, you
should get a reduction in file size (eg. "0.00" can be reduced to "0" saving 3
bytes).
Voting submission procedure is in the LDraw FAQ
(http://www.ldraw.org/faq/#question-24).
Keep up the good work and long live LDraw,
