> The voting page can be found at: > <http://www.ldraw.org/download/updates/voting/datvote.html> I have been able to test only a few parts iet, but here are my findings: - [flowers.dat] This file shows superimposed polys (tris and quads) in the petals of the flower, this is a problem in the flower itself (3742.dat), not in the flowers.dat file specifically. See the following image: http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/flowers.png - [2552.dat] - [4215p66] Both these files have bowtie quads in them. See the following images: http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/2552.png http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/4215p66.png - [2614.dat] This parts is missing some quads where the arrow is drawn. See the following image: http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/2614.png -[4728.dat] This part has some errors related with modelling it self. There seems to be some quads used has tris in the bottom of the flower petals, quads in a radial aproximation would be a lot better (area by quad is better distributed in this way) See following image: http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/4728_1.png Similar problem in the top part of petals. Too small tris in petals edge (end), this can be better distributed ! Se following image: http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/4728_0.png Better quad/tri could be applied to the top part of petals (radial aprxomiation would be a lot better. See following image: http://is-sv.link.pt/~rmsm/lego/vote2000/4728_2.png I now this piece is hard to do, but I think this flower needes a complete rework in the petals quads, no the points, but the way how the petal is tesselated into quads/tris. The tuff work is done, the points seem ok. If I can squeeze some more time to do this, I will check other files. See ya Rui Martins

Another file - [3471.dat] This file has a lot of work on it, but still has some problems, specifically almost all the quads from the base are bowties.

Some more comments on parts ! Maybe I will repeat some other notes, I don't know, I haven't checked all the other mails to compare, so here goes nothing. - [2466p07.dat] This part as 2 bowtie quads in the front panel See the following image: (URL) (...)

[FUT lugnet.cad.dev] I've (finally) posted the page for voting on the next parts update. Before you run off to check things out, I've got a couple of items of business: First off, I want to extend apologies for taking so long on this thing. The last (...)
