| | Rotation/scaling matrices... reference?
|
|
Okay, I think I've pretty much reached the limit of what I can do with my "experimental" approach to dealing with matrices. I did learn today that yes, you can use it to skew, at least with 2D objects... that's darn handy for printing on slopes. Now (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Travis Cobbs made one once upon a time. I used it in this MPD file. (URL) doesn't have type 5 lines yet, but in the comments he promised to add them if anyone uses the sphere primitive in their parts. :) Don (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|

I'm working on some parts that will need a hi-res 1/8 sphere primitive. Has anyone done up a version of this? How about a 3D tool that could build it? If I don't hear anything within a couple of days, I'll probably start working up the part in (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)
