I have a few questions about the LDCad shadow library and the snap metas:

Part request

Hi, could part number 2431pb755 be added? Here's its page on Bricklink.

It's just a 1 x 4 tile with a decal on it, but the LEGO Sonic Green Hill Zone set uses it excessively.
   

How would you represent the background of the 6991 stickers (sheet 168285) in LDraw? The BL entry makes it look like a mosaic pattern, but it's actually a multi-faceted reflective foil effect, with hundreds of tiny square/circular reflectors "printed" on it.

Hard to show in photos, but here's an overview: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xzcAAOSwR...-l1600.jpg

Obvious workaround would be large areas of, say, chrome silver, but that's not terribly accurate at showing the true texture, nor the randomized reflectorization of the many facets. But it might be the closest thing we have.

Hello all,

I'm proud to present the first beta version of LDCad 1.7.

It's been some time since the last update, so I hope it was worth the wait.

Major new features:
- Interactive animations
- Full !DATA meta (embedded texture) support.
- Collada export (partial, deprecated).
- gtTF2 export
- Lots of new scripting objects.

There are also stacks of small changes / tweaks, some new examples and lots of bugfixes.

See changeLog.txt for the full list of changes.

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2023-03. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's, LEOCad's and Bricksmith's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

I've been using the Camera Test animation frequently and then this afternoon it stopped working.  The MOC just stays in the initial postion.

The other example animations all still work as usual; only Camera Test fails.  When using the OpenGL animation export, it just exports hundreds of identical images.

I downloaded the latest version of LDCad and reinstalled it to no avail.  It fails on my MOCs and on the examples like 5550.mpd.
