  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) thoughts. - Are there any grey rubber parts? I can't think of any off the top of my head. - Maybe color 376? I definately want a number defined for this color since it is common enough to make using chrome unacceptible. (...) would make coming (...)

  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) On that note, let me toss in my $2. I agree with Cary and Steve that dithering should go. Who needs it? The renderer should be able to convert from true color to dithered colors if the display is underpowered. If you must have it for some (...)

  Rubber Colors Needed (Was: Color Definition for Dull Silver)
 
(...) I saw that link at Brickshelf, too, and was very surprised. Never heard of that those tyres came in white. Samsonite maybe? I'm tempted to buy a couple just to satisfy my curiousity.

(...) It's needed for backwards compability. Using an old/not updated renderer shouldn't make the rendering look awkward. But using a newer renderer should make it better. So is the case with grey rubber, black rubber, and electric conductor. When (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Rubber Colors Needed (Was: Color Definition for Dull Silver)
 
(...) I seem to have a few of these white (sort of a chalky gray-white, in my collection) tires from the early 70's, but I have no idea which of my early sets included them. I always figured that the white color was simply a sign of degraded rubber. (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
(...) No it's not. If the render is old and not updated then it will never the ldconfig.ldr file anyhow, so the dithered colors in ledit and ldraw will never change. This is for the future. (...) That's still true, but you should be able to replace (...) (21 years ago, 23-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray)

  Re: Color Definition for Dull Silver
 
How about dropping the AA ? So far, IIRC, no-one has ever used it. If another value than the default (0x80?) is wanted, it can be put into the MATERIAL section: transparent=25% The we will use the familiar LDraw color codes for both EdgeColor and (...)
