(...) Just in case, the source code for lsynth is here. (URL) the CVS Repository link for instructions on how to fetch it all, or follow the Browse CVS link if you only want to examine it. Have fun, Don (20 years ago, 9-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Jindroush, True length is a topic that is near the top of the list for LSynth. Orion and I talked about it at BrickFest. There is at least one implementation out there by Frederick Glockner (using emacs) that supports true length. Since LSynth (...) (20 years ago, 9-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You know, this did actually come up before in the context of lsynth. This post from 2 years ago mentions LENGTH and UNITS options for the lsynth meta commands. (URL) think it's been mentioned since then as well. In my opinion that's probably (...) (20 years ago, 9-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) i haven't suggested that. We don't have separate part file for every known color, but instead, there is part and color info in the dat. I think the length should be put in somewhat similar way in the dat, so that it could be easily extracted (...) (20 years ago, 8-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I believe that the general answer is yes, it is possible to take a jpg, gif, or bmp and place it into a rendered scene. One way it can be done is with texturemapping onto a rectangle. What you would presumably need to do then is position and (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, I've got a mask generation facility working pretty well for partial assembly images. The technique I use is to add the concept of chromakey color. I render the image with chromakey color (user selectable) as the background color. I then examine (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't think making a separate part file for every known length of a part is the right approach, for at least two different reasons. First, it would significantly increase the number of parts in the LDraw library, making it that much harder (...) (20 years ago, 7-Sep-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)
