I spent a few moments tweaking the rendering style of my in-development cad
program.
A sample can be seen at http://www.wizardhat.com/demo/1.gif
Please ignore the few unhidden lines (such as the steering wheel in the side
view, and the lines leading diagonally up and to the left from the hub
centers in the isometric view). That's a bug I intend to fix.
Of note is the fact that my rendering engine is completely ignoring the line
and conditional line entities in the .dat files (entity types 2 and 5).
Instead I'm always drawing polygon borders in black. (I have no intention
of supporting color code 24.)
While this approach looks very good in general (or at least I think so), one
problem is the appearance of the studs (specifically the 16 triangles that
make up 4-4disc.dat). I think the studs would look much better without all
those extraneous lines emanating from the center, but I don't have an easy
way to fix that at the moment.
Comments?
