Every now and then I wish there were a web server where I could paste in
an LDraw (.dat or .ldr) file (or a URL to such a file) and get a 3D
rendering. Occasionally I search the web to see if anyone has done such
a thing. As of yesterday, I still was disappointed. Jeramy, could *we*
do such a thing on indylug.org? Technically, it should be easy if any of
the existing rending programs support a command-line or batch mode.
It would certainly drive traffic to our site. We could tag the images
with our web site address and logo. We could allow web sites to hot link
their LDraw files to our renderer. E.g. (warning, Geekiness ahead):
<A
HREF="http://www.indylug.org/cgi-bin/render.cgi?http://www.mysite.com/dats/mymoc.dat">Click
here for a rendering of MOC</a>
or even
<IMG
SRC="http://www.indylug.org/cgi-bin/render.cgi?http://www.mysite.com/dats/mymoc.dat">
On the other hand, if we make it *too* convenient, we may clog our CPU
and/or bandwidth allocation.
I do have a 233MHz Pentium II I'd be willing to donate :-)
