  remove mklist source code from official parts releases
Posted by: Steffen - 2018-12-20, 11:18 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

our official parts releases (e.g. 2018-02) contain these 3 files:

mklist1_4.zip
mklist1_6.zip
mklist-c.zip

, containing the source code of mklist.

I would like to request to remove these files from our releases.

The source code instead should be put to GitHub IMHO.

  broken PT activity preview for TEXMAP images on main start page
Posted by: Steffen - 2018-12-20, 10:53 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (1)

The main start page has a broken PT activity preview, see below.
Can something be done about that?
the link itself works fine, just the preview image is missing/broken

  requesting new category "Cardboard"
Posted by: Steffen - 2018-12-19, 22:02 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

the PT has forced me to put file
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...252p02.dat
into !CATEGORY Panel.

I would have better liked a separate category "Cardboard".

can that be introduced?

  Submodel, sub model or sub-model
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2018-12-19, 9:16 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (9)

Hi all,

A strange question perhaps, but what would be the best way to write:

  1. submodel (submodels)
  2. sub model (sub models)
  3. sub-model (sub-models)
In other words as one word, with a space or with a dash?

Your opinion is appreciated.

Jaco

Heart Jacob Sparre Andersen has passed away
Posted by: Tim Courtney - 2018-12-18, 14:47 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (3)

It is with sadness and a heavy heart I share the news that our friend and former [color=#365899][font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui,]LDraw.org webmaster Jacob Sparre Andersen passed away Sunday after a brief but difficult battle with stomach cancer. He leaves behind his wife Christina and young daughter Lea.[/font][/color]

If you have memories of Jacob and would like to send condolences, please share them here. After a time I'll kindly pass them to Jacob's wife Christina, and will share additional details such as a contact address or obituary site according to her wishes.

EDIT: Funeral details from Christina:

Dear All.
 

The funeral of Jacob takes place on Saturday, December 22 at 13:00 (cet) in Hoersholm Church,
 
Hørsholm Kirke
Barakstien 2,
2970 Hørsholm
Denmark

You are very welcome, but I know that many of you do not come,.
Perhaps you can send him a loving thought or whatever you feel is right to do ..
 
Since Jacob has a huge circle of people, I have not had time to read and answer everyone yet. It will come.
 
Sincerely Christina

END EDITS

[color=#1d2129][font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui,][font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui,]Here are a few thoughts and memories I wrote about Jacob yesterday upon learning the news:

It is with sadness and a heavy heart I learned that my collaborator and friend of twenty years Jacob Sparre Andersen passed away after a short battle with stomach cancer. My heart [/font][font=system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui,]goes out to his lovely wife Christina and young daughter Lea.

Jacob and I have been in touch online since the late 1990s, when we were both active in the LDraw community and the online LEGO hobby. Jacob was one of my first international collaboration partners when I was still in my teens. Our different perspectives challenged me and spurred my personal growth.

We first met in person in 2002, when I was visiting Lars C. Hassing in Aarhus, and Jacob visited for dinner. We reconnected in Copenhagen in early 2012, after I began working for LEGO. First, he took me to a favorite cafe Obelix, and later invited me to lunch at his home. We've met for drinks, new Nordic cuisine, and walked around town a handful of times since. Most recently we grabbed burgers in Christianshavn and caught up on work, life, and my recent cross-country move to California.

Favorite memories include a tour he gave me of the Niels Bohr institute (including Niels Bohr's private office), stories of the Faroe Islands, and his ideas for extreme bicycle designs; like one that generated electricity by pedaling, which would power a motor on the rear hub through a wire instead of using a chain, just because it was possible. He got such a kick out of the idea. I'll miss meeting him for a bite and our talks about LEGO, bicycles, physics, politics, places in the world he's lived, and his work engineering complex systems. I'll remember him as kind, fair, consistent, ethical, caring, creative, passionate, interested in the world, and therefore interesting to be around.

Attached is a photo I took of Jacob at lunch in September, because I was laughing at the irony of his sweater. He said his daughter Lea got it for him, because she liked the bird. I remember how much he loved his daughter. Every time we met, he was so proud to talk about what they were building with LEGO or something she was into, like the sweater. As much as I will miss my friend, I cannot imagine the loss Christina and Lea are feeling now, and I keep them in my thoughts.[/font][/font][/color]

  Sticker with other than rectangular shape
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2018-12-12, 14:31 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (29)

Hi all,

How would one create a sticker (using texture mapping) with another than a rectangular shape?
Like for example the stickers that come with set 42061

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...01#T=C&C=0

The ones that go on the sides of the bucket. I guess that could also be done with LDraw geometry.

And how about sticker no. 4 that goes on a technic panel which itself has a irregurar and curved surface.

I can create the images, but fail to see how a (and if) a sticker can be made.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Jaco

  Website Theming Work
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2018-12-11, 18:44 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (38)

Work has begun on changing the main site theme. Right now I'm focusing on cleaning up and consolidating the code. Later I will rearrange the page elements. The end goal is to have a unified look across all LDraw websites. The main site is first since its the easiest to change. The forum will most likely be the last since the templating engine will change with MyBB 1.9 and I don't really want to duplicate effort.

If you are a website expert or otherwise, I want to hear from you. Now is the time to make suggestions, desires, ideas known. If possible, show me an example of what you mean. If there's a site you really like, let me know and I can try to incorporate the elements of the design that work well.

The current working design is here:
http://www.ldraw.org/test-home.html
Article template is here:
http://www.ldraw.org/hidden-content/testpad.html

Note: I'm focusing on layout right now, styling and interactivity will come later.

  75104 Minifigure, headgear SW Kylo Ren
Posted by: Andy - 2018-12-10, 4:00 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

Hey guys! I'm new here! I am a former stop motion maker and I have plans to make Lego films in auto desk's Maya. I haven't seen any new Star Wars episode 7 and 8 material (yes, I can understand why) but I have a really funny script I want to use to kick off my channel. If any of you guys would like to help make a Kylo Ren helmet (Part 6124603) that would really help me out! I would make it in Maya but I'd like it to be more to scale so I figured I'd ask. If the helmet is too much, if anyone would like to do just his face and maybe torso? That would also be amazing. I would only need it in a few months, no deadline, I can make other films while waiting anyways. Thanks guys!
