Hello all, I am working on a program (Windows) for ldraw animations for about three weeks now and because it's getting kinda cool I was thinking to make it freeware. Has anyone got some ideas for additional features? It will have the following (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good point rick. Eduardo you can do a simple calculator yourself by using an Excel sheet with three columns. Create a tabel like so: Col A B C row1 Time per Frame # of Frames Total Time row2 (USER INPUT) (USER INPUT) =A2*B2 But rick's input is (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Render times vary alot on the model you are rendering, any effects you might have, and other misc stuff. For example, a 640x480 model of 1 2x4 bricks is going to render alot quicker then Bram Lambrecht's Delorean in 160x120 mode. Just my two (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi to all programmers. Since I learned how to find whould take an animation to render without rendering all I noticed that there is only one calculator that calculates time "example: x seconds by y frames = zz hours yy minutes yy seconds to render " (...)

(...) Thanks, Don! That helped a lot. I downloaded ldglite, followed your instructions, and it worked fine. MLCad does not have such an easy inline feature. Cheers, --Ryan K'nex: (URL) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Wouldn't it be great if there were a lego cad program like MLCad for the pocketPC? Take your models with you, work on them whenever you have some idle time. Show off your work whenever you get the chance. Even a just viewer like LDLite would be (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) For a quick custom, you can use BMP2DAT32 (if I remember the name right). It comes out with mediocre quality (usually), but it's easier than redrawing your graphic in LDraw vector commands. Steve (23 years ago, 22-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Is there a faq somewhere that outlines a way (easy, I hope) to stick a graphic image onto a part? Like for a custom mini-fig? I thought I had seen one once, but now I can't find it... Thanks, James Wilson Dallas, TX (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hmmm, what technique did you use to do the scaling? 0 SCALE meta-commands, or scale and then inline. I used the inliner approach. Here's how it goes in ldglite using the familiar LEDIT style commands (with the scale and inliner extensions). (...) (23 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, you could try this. First scale your primitives by 0.64. Then scale the parts by 0.64. Then fix the primitives inside the parts by rescaling the type 1 lines that pull in the primitives by 1.5625. I just tried this with ldglite on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ah, I see your problem. You want to rescale the primitives internally, and not rescale them in the type 1 lines where they're included by the part files. If you were on linux, you could probably do this by adding a few lines of code to the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
