I use LDLite (mostly) in conjuction with LDAO (to generate the VEC images,
and the HTML instruction images) and to generate the images for Partsref.
Some things I'd like to see:
1. LDLite 2.0 doesn't crop saved images to the edges of the rendered model.
If this is a bug, I'd like to see it fixed. If it was intentional, I'd
like to see a command-line option to control the behavior. For now, I'm
sticking with LDLite 1.6, because of this issue.
2. An option to do antialiasing[1] would be cool. The function would work
by scaling the rendering up by a specified factor (and widen drawn lines by
the same factor), and then automatically scale the output down by the same
factor. A command-line parameter like -aa2 would render the model at
double-size, but display/save it at normal size. The aa scaling would be
combined with the specified transformation (-a) and scaling (-s)
parameters.
3. I'd *really* love it if the LDLite rendering engine could be published
as a DLL or ActiveX component, so it could be dropped into other programs.
4. Is there any way (other than doing reflections) to make a surface look
shiny, like chrome? I was wondering if the shading effect could be
heightened for some colors, to produce brighter highlights and darker
shadowed areas. That would might help a bit, but I don't really know.
Anyway, if this method (or some other method) could improve the
'chrominess' of the supposed-shiny colors, it'd be great if this could be
added to LDLite, in both the default color-values and the 0 COLOR command.

1) Maybe what I describe is pseudo-antialiasing. Whatever, as long as it
works.
