 | | How do we handle stickers in Ldraw? —Imre Papp
|
| | | Dear List, I remember that some times ago we have discussed the topic of Lego stickers in Ldraw. There was no clear agreement on the nomenclature, the positioning, assigment to parts etc. I'm writing this mail to unfreeze slightly this topic, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) I don't agree with this statement, at least not right now. Stickers _do_ have some height, and I think it would be most correct to model this in LDraw. This would also fix the bleed-through problems. A sticker could be modeled as a very thin, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) Unfortunately, there is no 'enough' to prevent bleed-through. It totally depends on the scale any model is rendered at. At typical scale, 2LDU is really needed to prevent bleed-through from most angles. Which is a bit thick for most stickers. (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | I don't know if this has been brought up before or not, but if the stickers are separate parts, they will "float" above the piece if you use L3P, L3Lab, or LDView and have seams turned on. Since I would expect most L3P renderings to be done with (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) Good point. As far as I know seams are modelled in L3P generated Pov files by shrinking the the size of bricks by a small value. Theoretically, even regular bricks float related to each other, but since usually we look at models from a certain (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

So, this would chop the sticker thickness in half. No idea whether this is (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) I don't remember much about this thread. But I do have an idea. How would it work if stickers (notice the spelling) were modelled as polygons outlined by lines placed 0.5 ldu (or less) from the flat surface it is to be placed on. What if the (...)

I think LDraw sticker files can be handled in the same way we handle small parts on runners (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

If this is not case we could assign a 3 digit number or borrow the number of the (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

In these cases, we could use the playtheme name in the sticker-part name. Or we could name the sticker-parts after the (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
