  Recomendation about amount of triangles.
Posted by: Victor Di Rienzo - 2019-05-11, 13:54 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (2)

Guys yesterday i spent hours making the following pattern.

btw i have spent tons of hours to make this pattern. and i have just realize that it was already available on part tracker.

i was looking something new to upload, and check on rebricable, this brick did not had any ldraw part assigned and i did not check on

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptpatterns.cgi?p=3039


grrrrrrrrr.......

regarding this issue for future designs. the idea its to make the patterns with the less ammount of triangles as possible ?

any recommendation to add? in the LQ version of the pattern you can see some vertex have TONS of triangles that are attached to them. its this ok? or its not recommended to have many triangles attached to a vertex?

note: yellow lines should be color 16. i know now.

  Studio no longer uploading to BrickLink ??
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2019-05-11, 11:45 - Forum: All Other Programs. - No Replies

A day or two ago, when I wanted to upload a new model to my Gallery at Brick Link, the Studio application updated.  And ever since, I have not been able to upload my files any longer to my gallery there.  

Any one here have any ideas as to what is wrong, please?  

Thanks, 
Franklin

  Boost Hub Part
Posted by: wol bar - 2019-05-09, 22:46 - Forum: Help - Replies (10)

Hello,

I can't find the Boost Hub Part that is supposed to be in the unofficial parts directory of Ldraw. I know that it's there, just can't see it in Ldraw.

Checked the environment variable, noticed that there was an error so changed it from C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ldraw
to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Ldraw,  but no difference. I wonder where LDRAWDIR is set? 

I checked the MLCAD.ini file and it looks ok. Search directories are fine.

Not sure how to get the BOOST Hub into the model. Any help appreciated.

I downloaded "parts/26910.dat
Electric Power Functions 2.0 Boost Move Hub"  into the official parts directory and unofficial and I still cannot see the hub. I found this part on http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptscan.cgi?q=boost

  Using Anton Raves library with PovRay 3.7
Posted by: Kelly - 2019-05-09, 19:57 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (3)

Twelve years ago I spent over 2 years making a lego movie with Pov-Ray 3.1 and Anton's libraries.  I made the original Alpha Team characters and based the movie on them.  Now I would like to go at it again and using 3.7, I'm struggling to get those libraries working again.  I hate to start over with some of the other tools I see mentioned, so is there some way I can get everything working with 3.7?

Yes I could go back to 3.1, but the render times with the 64-bit version are so much faster, and I'm sure there's other features I haven't even had time to explore.

The error I'm seeing in minifigs_official.lib implies that "yellow_tex" isn't defined, even though it's defined in materials.lib, which I include before I include minifigs_official.

Thumbs Up Train Front 37493/6226707 in set 60197
Posted by: Pierre - 2019-05-07, 20:26 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

Dear parts makers,

I couldn't find this part anywhere in the database or parts tracker, so I assume it is not in production. Is anyone working on this already, and if not, is there someone who could please work on this? I have insufficient knowledge to make my own parts.

thanks in advance

  still use CMDLINE meta command?
Posted by: Franklin W. Cain - 2019-05-07, 5:26 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (1)

Can we still include a CMDLINE statement, to document the default color oft he piece?  

For example, for a pattern file that is usually printed on white plastic: 


Quote:0 !CMDLINE -c15


Is this still OK?  Please let me know.  

Thanks, 
Franklin

[Image: hDAh9OE.jpg]

this is how it looks on ldcad.

[Image: 11JDln1.png]

[Image: a9Tx4q0.png]


As you can see i did use triangles around the number 3 that i have generated. is this done this way or i should create a primitive for the background and then in an upper layer put the 3?

if i should use a square primitive for the background and then put the number 3 in a "different layer" please let me know how to do this.

im attaching the dat file and the ldpatternCreator if you want to check.
