Still discussing:
<http://www.geocities.com/partsref/bfcspec.txt>
and now
<http://www.geocities.com/partsref/bfcspecv4.txt>
I posted an update to the v4 spec just now. It includes the changes suggested
by Jacob.
Things have been quiet lately, so I want to throw out a couple of questions:
Does anyone have an opinion on whether it would be preferable to go with the
original syntax approach (having several meta-statements), or the newer approach
(a single meta-statement, with options)?
Original:
0 CERTIFY ( BFC | NOBFC )
0 WINDING ( CW | CCW | UNKNOWN )
0 CLIPPING ( ON | OFF )
0 INVERTNEXT
Newer:
0 BFC [CERTIFY|NOCERTIFY] [CLIP|NOCLIP] [CW|CCW|NOWIND] [INVERTNEXT]
Will the newer specification address everybody's issues?
Maybe we can get this finalized before the end of the year. Well, a guy can
dream, right? ;)

| OK, we've been discussing how to best extend the LDraw language to allow rendering engines to do backface-culling. We've got a pretty good agreement on most of what is needed. I think it would be productive, at this point, to work from a complete (...) (25 years ago, 20-Oct-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
