  Re: Question on transparent printed parts
 
John: (...) I think Lars has modified l3p, so you can included a POV-Ray version of the part as comments in the DAT file. Something like "0 IFPOV/.../0 ELSEPOV/.../0 ENDPOV", but check Lars' latest l3p announcement. Play well, Jacob -- Where's that (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Question on transparent printed parts
 
(...) Right now, there's nowhere to go with POV-Ray. Well, maybe you could donate them to Lutz Uhlman's LGEO parts library, maybe. What I'd like to see happen is for the permanent l-cad organization setup an LDraw-compatible library of POV-Ray (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Parts needed
 
(oops, I posted this to the wrong group initially) Hey ya parts authors, I confess that yes, I own a few Town Jr. sets. There. *That's* out of the way. Razz away, but in a separate thread please. ;-) I'm looking for someone to create the following (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Question on transparent printed parts
 
(...) I've actually given this some thought too, and has considered now that I have time again to do some legos to make a povray version for each lcad version I make. But what to do with it? Kind regards John Jensen (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Question on transparent printed parts
 
Earlier today, I posted a 1x6 brick with the text "Shell" printed on it. I also have a version of this piece that is printed on a clear 1x6. And I'm trying to figure out how to model that in LDraw. Is there any way to control the alpha level of a (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Question on (unneeded?) lines in printed parts
 
(...) Type 2 lines should not be used to outline the decorated areas on printed parts, so their use in 3010p06 is incorrect. To improve the look of the part when rendered by some of the older LCAD software, it is acceptable to define type 2 lines (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Question on (unneeded?) lines in printed parts
 
(...) It's a backward compatibility issue: a. These lines help to identify the various printed pieces in Ledit, which does show the parts as wireframes only. b. In a Ldraw render, it prevents the background color bits "eating up" the pattern color (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Where to download LGEO?
 
Hi - I was just asked by someone where they could get LGEO, after pointing them to the L2P download page on LDraw.org, I discovered the links are broken. They link to Lutz's old site, but his new one - www.el-lutzo.de - is down. Is there anywhere (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Question on (unneeded?) lines in printed parts
 
I have noticed recently that some printed parts have edges around all the printed bits. For example, look at 3010p06.dat. This is a 1x4 with stripes on one side. But between each red stripe and its neighboring bgcolor stripe, there is a light-red (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Democracy (Was: next parts vote/update - when???)
 
(...) Almost all aspects of a part can be brushed upon later, should a faulty part be officialized. Bow-tie quads, syntax errors, header errors and bad names. All can easily be fixed later on. There is one aspect, however, which simply cannot be (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

What about a little less democracy? Like in the days when James was the obvious Leader. Let's say one trusted authority, Steve, Lars, anyone-else? looks at the part one at the time.

  Mac - BrickDraw3D Update Jan 29
 
New version of BrickDraw3D from Jan 29. "It's not perfect but it's getting pretty good. " Good news: 1. It's about 10% faster and the color bugs are gone. 2. You can drag parts in 3D with the mouse (more details on the webpage.) 3. I changed all the (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  next parts vote/update - when???
 
Steve, When are we going to have another parts update? We do have quite a lot of DAT files in the queue. (I've got over 60 files in my "to be voted on" queue on my PC's hard drive.) What needs to be done to make this happen? What can I do to help (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  neck-mark for 973 files
 
Steve, Have you received updated DAT files for all of the minifig torso patterns, yet, for the change in how we do the neck-marks? If not, which ones still need to be changed? Did I ever offer this suggestion, that instead of hard-coding the actual (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)
