(...) Right. For some renderers. Basically, in standard LDraw renderers, the backside surfaces can still be culled, because multiple layers of transparent surfaces look the same as a single layer. In renderers that produce darker/more opaque areas (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | 24-tooth Technic gear confusion - Part(s) 3648, 3648a, x187
|

I am really confused about the variations on the 24-tooth Technic gear which appear in quite a number of the sets I am attempting to inventory/verify. First of all there seem to be two major variations: the earlier one has three axle holes, and the (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.db.inv)

I think the reason for the capital .DAT extension is because LDraw was original DOS. If you install the original package under windows, all directories and files will be capitals as well. Furthermore I do not experience any problems with lower or (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) They require a different approach to optimization - visibility culling, not backface culling. You're right in thinking they should not be BFC. The exception I think might be a full box - which gets composited twice in a polygon system like (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
