Photo Problem with rendering flexed part
Posted by: CJ H. - 2022-04-21, 16:47 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I flexed a part in LDCad which needs to be rendered in Studio. In Studio instruction maker, the part looks fine, but when I render it has gaps:

[Image: string.png?dl=1]
That's the catalog (unflexed) part on top and the flexed part on the bottom. 

Maybe this is a hint: I notice something I haven't seen before in the file: the flexed part has a subfile. It says:

Code:
0 //Fixed color segments

0 //  Skin meta #1 is using a static color.
0 //  To ensure correct edge colors those segments are placed in (a) subpart(s).
1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stringStudsLQ-1_subPart1.ldr

Any ideas?

Thanks,
cj

  1971 Supercharged Oldsmobile 455 Rocket Engine
Posted by: Alex Crayne - 2022-04-20, 7:01 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (7)

Hey guys,

Here's my first build! 

Can I please get some help from someone more proficient at advanced editing. I need to feed the gas line and the supercharger belt correctly and I've spend all day being unable to get the 'insert' button to do what it should. I'm sure I'm just repeatedly making noob mistakes because I've managed to get the other two belts on correctly.

I'd really like some feedback on this build. I spent about a week with it on my desk as a paperweight before being urged to share it and came across this website and program(s).

As someone who uses (Auto)CAD professionally, I appreciate that this community exists: it's clearly useful and very functional, so thanks for any additional input/support!

Enjoy!
Alex

Is there a way to shape the rubber belts around the pulleys? I am using LeoCAD, but will use whatever to accomplish this for my instructions.

Thanks in advance,

  How to build this?
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2022-04-08, 8:07 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (2)

Hi all,

As you might know (or not) but I was a contestant for LEGOMASTERS Netherlands/Belgium 2020

A cameraman from LEGOMASTERS Netherlands/Belgium asked our group if we could build a classic camera rig / boom.
This one:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/brian_will...237539889/

I understand most of the model and with a few tweaks here and there made a digital version and instructions for him.
For what I can tell some parts are not LEGO or custom or cut.

The one thing I do not get is how the camera rolls are build and attached to the camera. Anyone any thoughts?
I asked the author but no response so far.

Also, the clips that hold the rail are not LEGO too, are they? If so, what part is that clip?

Thanks!

  Procedurally generating classic 80s houses
Posted by: Mark Wellas - 2022-04-05, 20:09 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (9)

Hello  Smile 

I've written some code to generate random houses, classic 80s town style!

At the moment, everything is random: the floorplan, colours, window/door counts and placement. It is limited to classic colours and a few windows and doors that were widespread in the 80s. The bricks are laid well, using an algorithm to maximise interlocking between levels. The roof is always a brick-built hipped roof. There is lots of potential to add new building features of course but I'm not sure where it will go after this first very basic version. Here is a picture of some houses generated today.
