(...) Should we go the voting route and let the visitors choose the model of the week/month from the pile? Or should we do that ourselves and rotate them some? And what should it be, week or month? Week would be more variety, but month would be less (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Yes, good idea, Terry. I think we should go that route. Right now I'm awaiting the delivery of a rendering of a truck for the first image. We can proceed to collect images for this slot at this time. A good 10 or 15 of them would be nice. I (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

for sets that have 2 models listed can we submit only 1? i am thinking of things like the 8880 supercar and the 5571 giant truck, which have 2 different models buildable from the same parts. can we do and submit one, the other one being done later?

We'll either need duplicate files or some way of cross-referencing the file by multiple set numbers.

(...) What's wrong with the model already being used? And why a POV-Ray? This isn't pov-ray.org, it's ldraw.org. To be completely pure, it should be an image generated by LDraw. But an LDLite-sourced image would be very nice, as well. Also, IMO, an (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
