Hello everyone,

whilst working on a part, I discovered a phenomenon often seen on printed Lego parts (and stickers) around 1996-2004: Color gradients and color mixing done by overlaying many tiny dots on a colored surface, a technique which I think is called 'Ben Day Dots'.

Example: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...5D#T=C&C=0

Realistically recreating this effect is slightly time consuming (if done without scripts/additional software) and of cause creates very many polygons for a comparatively simple and small area.

I found some parts using this effect already made in LDraw, although each seems to use a different approach:
   

 As this is a realism vs. performance issue, I guess some guideline towards this could be helpful?

Hi,

The LDRAW OMR has been down for months now and I need to download ldr models.

the URL i have is https://omr.ldraw.org/files?authors=17 and I get the following error:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
We can’t connect to the server at omr.ldraw.org.

Also, quick question, how would I go about displaying a LDR model that I made in my own web page just like you can do with the LDRAW omr (i.e have an interactive 3D view of a model in the web browser)

how do i zoom in and out in ldparteditor

Thanks so much!!!

The 2024-01 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 160 new files to the core library, including 100 new parts and 10 new primitives.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2024-01 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the beta testers and parts authors who continue feedback for the new PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

I believe 30166, variants and sub parts are missing from the zip files for parts.

Hair Long Wavy with Braid and Molded Hard Plastic Light Nougat Elf Ears Pattern request 100953pb01

Is there any demand for this primitive? It could be useful in some parts.

Hey, this part was recently introduced this year. I look forward to having it added to your database and being able to use it in BrickLink Studio soon.

Thank you for reading.


EDIT: Never mind, I realized that it has already been added. Silly me!
