...Mine is 79 Mb in size after 9902 parts update. For speed, I don't want
to go GIF or JPEG, and I'm not too crazy about reducing the rendering size
for the VEC.
Question #1: Will Image Magick convert 24-bit BMPs to 8-bit?
Question #2: Has anyone converted their VEC dir to GIF or JPEG, and how
much slower is it really?
Cheers,

| (...) Yes, doing this automatically is one of the items on the request list for LDAO. (...) I've done this. It is *much* slower. 3x or worse. I'm thinking it was much worse, but I don't remember now. Steve (26 years ago, 1-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| How big is my what!? Oh.... Right now, mine is 14 mb. Yep, 14,722,692. But I have it rendered at 50% *and* I used a batch conversion to reduce the LDLite output to 8 bits.(1) Sure it took a while, but the savings were significant. If I remember (...) (26 years ago, 2-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) Never noticed any slowdown. I throw my LDraw folder around so much that I always convert my VEC dir to gif to save time on the transfer. (26 years ago, 4-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) What the heck ya got in there, man?? As of the latest update, mine is ~8 Mb, rendered in LDraw at 50%. Did you use LDLite to render the VEC? That's more than my entire LDraw directory! :) Jeff - Who can't believe anyone can actually get 79 Mb (...) (26 years ago, 20-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) Just to provide a more-or-less final answer to this question, Image Magick includes mogrify.exe, which is designed to do mass file conversions. Using mogrify, I converted all the VEC images to BMP-RLE format. Which took the VEC down to 6.5MB. (...) (26 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
