Hi,

I wonder if this could be done in LDRAW. really I'm mostly interested in the glass itself since it is around 16L x 8L x 6L
and would look awesome in a lego train station digital MOC assuming I can find some clever way to incorporate it with lego pieces.



It comes in 10 sets and the frame is only in yellow: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...5D#T=C&C=3

I'm trying to find more photos / videos of it from other angles but its hard.

i'll update this tread if I find anything.

EDIT: found some high quality images:

Here is an idea for a possible new primitive that could be useful for plates like parts 2540, 48336, and quite a few others.
As for a name or description for such a primitive I would like some suggestions. There already exist a knob1 primitive used in minifig arms so should something else be used?
Another question I have is if the primitive should have holes where the cylinder enters it. This would possibly make 2 versions necessary, one with a hole on one side and another with holes on both [color=#333333][size=small][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]sides.[/font][/size][/color]
[color=#333333][size=small][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Also the part makes use of a new 11-16disc [color=#333333][size=small][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]primitive.[/font][/size][/color][/font][/size][/color]

A little unusual perhaps, but I am in need of the Duplo Candle with Yellow Flame.

I have some sort of mockup for the candle itself (just a cylinder and a torus), but the flame of course is a complex form.

Does anyone have an idea of how to mock-up the flame or make it?
Perhaps there is a way to do it quick and dirty?
It would just be for the looks of the image I am making. No hight quality or precise part is needed atm.
Just the form of the flame will do. No need for the hole on top.

Hi everyone,

i know this kind of posts are not liked very much, but I feel a little bit overwhelmed with all the tools and the possibilities.

Here is my Situation:

I want to create a model with parts from 9656 DUPLO Early Simple Machines
and be able to view it in Bricklink Studio 2.0.
I saw this screen-cap entry on Philo's brickshelf page
( https://brickshelf.com/gallery/Philo/misc2/capture.jpg ), and I want to recreate this myself.

I am working with this Set with my Kids and I want to
isolate the Functional Elements (like only the Worm-Gear) to be able to discuss them.

I played a bit with the different tools (LDView, LDCad, Bricklink Studio 2.0)
but I do not understand the necessary workflow.
As far as I understand, the necessary DUPLO .dat files are provided by LDraw (I can find them in the ..\LDraw\parts folder),
but I do not know how to use them to build a model, that can be displayed in Bricklink Studio 2.0.

Can anyone help?

Thank you a lot,
Nic

Hi all,

I was looking for a way to create more LEGO style instructions with the characteristic black sides on the studs, much like Stud.io renders instructions, but then in LPub3D.
I made a tutorial to achieve this:

Hello,

I have a problem rendering in POV-Ray.
I load an ldr file into LDView, it looks like this

   

In LDView the value for latitude = 0 and the value for longitude = 45 were set.
After exporting as a pov file and rendering it looks like this

   

I changed the lighting values in the pov file, but I can't get to the first picture. I always have this shadow.
What do i have to change? Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Hi there,

currently I'm working on some of the recent Harry Potter models (like 75953, 75954). Most of the minifigures are not existing, and after struggling with the "normal" stickers, I can't see myself having success completing those models. But maybe they might be of interest though, I will upload them in separate posts to ease discussion.

They are all not OMR-ready (of course).

Hello,

When exporting to POV-Ray in LDView, I noticed that not all colors are defined in the lgconfig file. Here I noticed that the definitions for the color values in the file LDConfig.ldr and lg_colour.inc are defined differently. Can someone please describe how the color values are to be calculated.
Thank you.


Regards

Manfred
