I am getting really excited over how fast progress is made just a couple of days
from project restart.

The strange thing is that what takes most time is to build the models for the
scenes. Animation is relatively quickly done. Datsville as scenery is in deed
tempting, but will take hours just to get back into, and many more to filter out
and simplify enough to make it workable. It's just too huge. :(

Tomorrow I will be experimenting on some lights, and maybe some inline POV code.
But for now, I really have to get some sleep.


Progress in my todo-list so far (Updated):

* Support for new minifig parts - Done!

* Support for camera.dat and look_at.dat - Done!

* Automatic writing a batch file for L3P - Done! (It was harder than expected,
but now it's done, and it's making camera movements so easy!)

- - - - - - - -

* Playing around some with the program. Making small sample animations. Fixing
any bugs that may show up. Probably rewriting todo-list - One small animation
made. I have discovered cool options that I didn't even plan.

* Moving the LDA project to an URL that I can update, and of course update it -
URL created, but not upated.

* Support for LDR extension - not yet started on.

* Support for project (=scene folders) - not yet started on.

Hello Tore,

Is your todo-list the year 2001 "More or less planned commands" as they are
presented here: http://home.swipnet.se/simlego/ldraw/lda2001/lda2001.htm or do
you follow another new 2005 todo-list ?

Regards,

Hello Damien,


Well, both yes and no. I do follow a new 2005 todo-list, but my list of "more or
less planned commands" will be updated as it moves into the new URL.

The "most" of the more planned command were implemented by the end of September
2001 (but not when that list was first published). Some of the less planned are
now obsolete, like Exec. I don't think I will use external exe files, even
though it will provide the Math engine. We'll have to solve that problem some
other way.

Hide, Show, Destroy, plus all commands that have to do with changing Parent
object still have high priority.

I'm not sure what I meant with Position, but for the moment, I see no other use
for such a command else than saving a couple of lines(?). So this is not even
less planned right now.

While playing with the current version the next days, I will set the priorities
for the near future developments as I see what features are more urgently needed
which ones can wait.


Thanks for your interest,
/Tore
