In other words, linking directly to these images is OK in this case.

Cool!
And ultimately, for the LUGNET Brictionary, the HTML pages will also be
dynamically created and cross-referenced into other DBs in the system,
including personal want lists and auctions, so the HTML pages will also be
more likely to be linked to than the raw images, because the HTML pages
will contain more useful information.


Is there any desire to have povray rendered images for each part?
I still think that would be cool, even though the ldraw versions are more
useful for some things.  It would also be nice to be able to either:

1. have all parts rendered in all colors (disk space hog?)
2. have parts rendered on the fly in the desired color (cpu hog!)

This is especially important with decorated parts.

It would also be nice to have 3 sizes of each part:

1. thumbnail (128x128)
2. normal size (whatever variable size the parts are now)
3. large (3x normal size)

I Started this Several Weeks ago, I have already run Pov-Ray for the Thumbs
and the Large Size. I have only the two sizes done so far. What would you
call normal Size, I had not figured out a good third size any suggestions?

All pngs, 128x96 and 512x384. However this was a done in a batch so some
parts are rotated in a useless direction. You can view or scoop them off my
ftp server at
ftp://24.113.91.23/pub/lego_parts

Grab the Tarballs if any one wants to host them or needs the whole set.
As to extra color sets....its 100MB + 196 hrs per color...... [/;-)

Keep at it

Excellent! After looking at them I think that other perspectives are more important than colors. Have you tried experimenting with the ambient light option in povray? I don't think l3p gives you that option but you can modify the pov files l3p (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.brictionary)
