Hello, I'm still sorting some things out with LDraw parts on RB and I have a question about the part 4719.

apparently two mold variations exist with three different ways of naming them according to RB.

- the 80's version, with a normal stud over the rear wheel and a normal hollowed stud over the front wheel named 4719 :

- the actual version, with a hollowed over the rear wheel and a reinforced hollowed stud over the front wheel named 4719 or 65574 :

The problem is that the part on the part tracker seems to be a mix of both mold.

Should we fix it, and how ?
- do nothing ?
- 4719 for the old one and 65574 for the new one ?
- 4719 for the old one and 4719a for the new one ?
- 4719 for the new one and 4719a for the old one ?
- something else ?

Thank you.

I didn't see the mesh posted for this 2025 part (unless I missed something):
Minifigure, Utensil Horse Head with Neck and Mane

If anyone points me to the mesh, I will try my hand at cleanup (never ventured into that before)!

Hi everyone!

I would very much like the part 88287 to be created/finished. Looks like there is a DLraw file available , but unfinished?/with ruff edges.

Best regards

Install Lutris, and download Studio.

After Studio is installed, right click it, and click Configure, then Game options and write this command into the Arguments tab: -dx11 -windowed -ResX=128 -ResY=128.

Studio will run without crashing or freezing.

There are some stickers, cloths and possibly other things, that have an holographic effect.
One such example would be the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. How are these cases handled currently?

• Generating stickers: One potential enhancement to this system would be to project the texture so that it stands 0.25 LDU proud of the target geometry. A process would then be applied to generate the remaining geometry necessary to complete a sticker back, thus obviating the need to create individual sticker parts (and thus simplifying library entries, similar to direct-patterned parts as outlined above).
  • Inclusion of this functionality is ideal, as it would complete the simplification of the authoring process for all patterns, whether as printed parts or stickers. However, it adds considerable complexity to the implementation.
    
  • Nevertheless, such functionality is not unheard of; for example, adding sticker thickness is already an available option in svg2ldraw, above.
    
  • Third-party tools, such as Blender, can also be used to extrude a mesh in this fashion.
    
• Additional projection methods: The three existing methods (planar, cylindrical and spherical) may or may not be appropriate for mapping textures generated from LDraw or .svg code. Would it be necessary to explore additional projection methods?
  • Lasse's Pattern Folder utility may offer other approaches to projecting LDraw geometry onto a variety of surfaces.
    
• Primitive substitution: This is a complicating factor in mapping LDraw geometry. It would be desirable to retain such functionality, or else the texture mapping loses much of its advantage as far as image resolution. Any implementation of LDraw code mapping should allow for the inclusion of primitive substitution.
  • However, full adoption of SVG format would provide the wanted image resolution without the need for prim sub.
    

Ldraw files has all the pieces and just the bike.

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2025/2026 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to nominate individuals as candidates for the 2026/2027 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating, along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nominationin a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 28 February 2026. This means that to be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1. We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

Willy Tschager
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee

Any likelihood of getting this guy into LDraw?
