 | | Black seems wrong in ldconfig.ldr —Travis Cobbs
|
| | | The ldconfig.ldr file currently being distributed with the parts library seems to have the wrong definition for black. It uses 33,33,33 as the RGB color, when the official color chart uses 51,51,51. Two things to note. First, 33,33,33 comes out (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | Sorry to immediately post a follow-up to my own post, but I just noticed that RubberBlack is defined with the same 33,33,33 color (not surprisingly), and I feel it needs to be updated as well. --Travis Cobbs (20 years ago, 12-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

You might be right about the origin of the 33 value, but I believe I was (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) Given that ldconfig.ldr is part of the LDraw parts library, I was referring to the color reference on the LDraw.org site (noted in another message). However, it might make sense to use the colors above, since they came directly from Lego, and (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Then implement some code in LDVIEW to enable your metallic lighting goodies when ldconfig.ldr contains the proper MATERIAL settings. (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
