  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) True, but that would be an example of sloppy modeling on the part of the author ;) . (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) It's not exactly surprising that it worked ok, but if he didn't include any MPD support, then the results aren't necessarily correct. Since he presumably only pays attention to the locations of parts that he's willing to box, the references to (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) It worked fine for me. But then, I had to split it up into sections, just like Orion did. (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) What I meant was that this should be done by POVray within the .pov file, not in the the .ldr file. It is my understanding that one can put ifpov & ifnotpov statements into an .ldr file. They are, however, intended to be used solely by POVray. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) Sorry, LDBoxer does not "unpack" and re-parse MPDs. Therefor, the output will not be trustworthy. Someday I may be able to make programs that can handle MPDs correctly... :/ (...) I can understand that. The entire Town.ldr is an extreme task. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) All I did was MPD the Town sections and then ran the MPDs through LDBoxer. I tried to run an MPD of the entire Town.ldr file but it was really slow and LDBoxer exited with a access violation. -Orion (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) Well, I've found one at: (URL) it's from Sept. 2001, and I don't even remember how to use it. (...) Yes please! I would be very happy if you did this. (I've added the exception keyword "Datsville" to my (very conservative) spam filter, so it (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) Typo in the above message. Change "can't" to "can". -Orion (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) Not that I'm aware of (...) I have MPD files of the individual town sections (i.e. Town02, Town10, etc) that have been run through LDBoxer. I can't send them to you if you'd like and then you could just Un-MPD them for the individual files. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: Animation using Datsville
 
(...) I've been doing some experiments with different variants of LDBoxer, and also a hing called LDFilTEr. There is a semi-automatic version of LDBoxer where you can pick parts one by one and the interface lets you filter out parts irrelevant for (...) (21 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
