Dear all,

Following up from my teaser the other day, I’ve ‘completed’ my software to convert image files into ldraw files for use in sticker making and written a little tutorial about getting it to work.



Here is where you can download/understand/etc. the software and after that you can look at the tutorial.

I apologise to all that this version is really for the computer savvy as the whole thing is written in perl which requires either linux/unix/OSX or Windows with perl installed (linked to on the download page).

Please let me know if you use this program/enjoy it/hate a certain feature etc. If people like it (or want a version they can get working on their computer) I plan on releasing a C version when I can find the energy to rewrite.

Hope this proves useful,

Tim

PS. The code is GPL’d so if anyone wants to mess with it, please do!

(...) Tim, I cannot get this installed. I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9, and every time I run the script, perl install.pl img2 it creates a directory but then says "Could not copy file at install.pl line 42." Line 42 (or the 42nd line that I came to (...) (19 years ago, 1-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I've made a few attempts to use this, but I'm not having much luck. I've installed Perl, and I think I'm using the command line correctly. I keep getting the following though: "You do not have LDRAWDIR defined. This must be defined in order to (...) (19 years ago, 7-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
