| | | | | (...) Hi there Gabriel, This sounds very cool. I am not sure I can help you with provision of sprites, but have you thought of using a script to convert LDraw models to simpler meshes (with textures), and then animating those. I know you are going (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad, lugnet.gaming)

I have just discovered the Lcad->MLcad->l3p->povray method, and though I've only done the first 2 steps, I can see (having seen some nice POV renders on websites) the quality that can be achieved.

Will download it now, as "X does the Gruntwork for you" is a very good feature for me! Yes, downloaded LGEO as I saw the (...) (18 years ago, 11-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, lugnet.cad, lugnet.gaming)
