So...I'm working on the two tepee covers (this is gonna take a while... :-) and:
- 'Cloth' (Peeron) or 'Canvas' (Bricklink) ?
- thickness: 1LDU looks too thick to me. Have we settled on this, or is it
still up for grabs? I'm trying 0.5LDU right now, which looks better.
- base colour(s): I agree, 16/24. Apart from anything else, I'm not convinced
that the material used for these is actually white :-)
- Chris requested that I produce:
- the 'base' or unpatterned part, as well as the patterned ones
- each part as both a 'flat' version (for the BOM, I guess) and the conical
version which you'd actually use in a model (with a c01 suffix)
At this stage, I do not plan on making the door flap as a separate part as it
looks like far more trouble than it's worth :-) I'm also not intending to have
the punch-holes (in the conical versions at least) for technical reasons: in the
real world, the cloth cone deforms to fit around the bricks that make up the
base of the tepee; the LDraw part is obviously not flexible, and if you position
it so that the pegs on the tepee supports fit through the holes in the cover,
the 5x5 facet bricks used for the base protrude through the cover...the
workaround is to position it a few LDU higher up - not enough to look odd, but
just enough that the holes and pegs no longer line up.
All that said, does anyone have any strong opinions on any of this? :-)

In reality, you'll get artifacts on renderers that don't have BFC support if you go too thin. If (...) (16 years ago, 7-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
