I've worked a bit more on my Blender LDraw import script.
Recent additions:
* Requires Blender 2.34 for some convenient functions.
* Creates materials for each LDraw colour used, but does not fill in
colours.
* ldrawdir is now high in the script and in once place, to be easier
to change. Should add code to locate it.
* Double vertex removal is now done at flattening stage; the script
might consume notably more memory, but runs much faster.
* MPD files can be loaded directly.
* Curved faces are detected by their connection to 5 lines; AutoSmooth
is turned on for them, but the threshold may need tuning that can't
easily be done automatically.
Part detection is currently done by descriptions; any DAT referring
directly to primitives or subparts is considered a part. The specific file
loaded at first is never flattened.
