  Re: New Converter from LDraw To Lightwave
 
I'll give it a twirl!! No more DXF's!!! I use 3DS MAX, but have Polytrans, so conversions from LWO to MAX is a snap. Maybe I will test this weekend, and FINALLY, maybe, get Bram Lambrecht's awesome mining truck rendered! Thanks! Eric Regner soon to (...)

  Re: Doing Patterns and Bitmaps in MLCad
 
I was just thinking on offering something similar to bmp2dat. The other thing always is that it should be compatible to Ldraw and than you have to convert the bmp to something which LDraw can use too. Michael Travis Cobbs <tcobbs@san.REMOVE.rr.com> (...)

  New Converter from LDraw To Lightwave
 
Hello, a new converter exists since a few days.

It is completly (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Doing Patterns and Bitmaps in MLCad
 
Well, assuming it's left in some bitmap format, I could update LDView to use a texture map to draw the image. However, adding bitmaps to a .DAT file in some ASCII format is going to make for some really big .DAT files. Alternatively, of course, it (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) BMP2DAT can be used as a start, but it's not generally viewed as a good final product. Other programs have an option to use a bitmap as a background image. That can be useful for drawing patterned parts. Steve (24 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
