Hi there - new user on the forum, but have been using LDraw tools for a while now.
I recently released a new Lego animation on my channel. I did the animation by hand using stop-motion techniques, but I used LeoCad, LDView, and PovRay to make the backgrounds, which I composited in using Adobe After Effects. I hope you enjoy!
next model I'd like to contribute is 6592 Vacation Hideaway, released 1990. Very small, but I liked it very much decades ago.
Done with LDCad 1.6c / Linux64.
Any way to get the bezier curves tighter in the string template? The current limit of 5 isn't quite enough to tie this not:
It looks okay from above, but in the front view, you can see the loop doesn't draw in snugly. (I tried adding an extra path point on the bottom of the loop, but it just made all the corners square off.) I should also add that I'm using the Studio workaround, so the donor parts are 4-4cyli's rather than LDCad's donor parts. (It actually seems to curve more tightly this way.)
I'd like to revise the Library guideline to require the Bricklink patterned part ID in the keywords. This is already (mostly) standard practice, I'd just like to codify it. This will also make it easier for sites like Rebrickable to automate pattern cross referencing.
attached is the Lego Technic 8845 dune buggy of 1981.
Done with LDCad 1.6c / Linux64.
Edit: wheels are rubber-black instead of brick-black as suggested. Thanks to Philippe!
Edit2: sub-parts did not have " - " between number and name, please find updated file below.
