Hi all,

I've been very busy with texture mapping in the past days and did some bricks and tiles with nice "prints" for some projects I've been working on.

Now, I have need for a round 1x1 tile with a pattern.
So I made a square PNG image with transparent background (which works perfectly with the bricks and tiles) and mapped that on the surface.
Alas, this texture mapped surface remained planar and square so no such luck there.
Then I thought I'd made the plane on which is mapped transparent, but that had a bad result.

Would it be possible either way to apply texture mapping on other surfaces than rectangular, like for example the 4-4disc primitive?

Was looking at doing the 2654pb010 pattern but I am having issues with the low resolution of this part. Perhaps that is why there are no patterns for 2654 yet?

Currently the dish is using 4-8sphe.dat, replacing it with the highres variant seems overkill. I have taken the conical primitives from rounded shield 75902 and modified them a bit to match the bottom, please see picture attached. (Left the original, right my variant which needs some extra condlines)


In my opinion this looks much better and it will be easier to create patterns for this part, please let me know what you think about it.

Hi,

after a few sleepless nights I was finally able to reproduce and fix some troublemakers.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.

Change log:

Fixed bugs:

• Fixed a rare crash (Rectifier/SlicerPro/Unificator tool chain)
  
• A wrong winding was exported when "Include Metadata" was disabled, but a winding was chosen in the metadata dialog.
  

Has/could someone please work on this torso?

Thanks!

Hi,

here are seven new features and the first official LDPE release on Mac OS X :)


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(7 new features and 4 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...use LDPartEditor under Mac OS X.
  
• ...move the 3D view with Alt+Cursor Keys
  
• ...enable a verbose mode for Rectifier
  
• ...enable a verbose mode for Edger2
  
• ...specify the number of iterations for the "Rotate Dialog"
  
• ...specify the number of iterations for the "Translate Dialog"
  
• ...copy and transform a selection if you hold Ctrl and modify the manipulator with the cursor keys
  
• ...benefit from an absolute scaling mode which uses a length in LDU as an initial scale.
  

1. Ctrl+Z with focus on 3D window shifted the focus to the text window.
   
2. A mouse click was sometimes ignored (while adding something in the 3D view)
   
3. Unificator: A vertex already snapped on a primitive vertex was able to move to another primitive.
   
4. Minor bug: The primitive area renderer tried to render after the 3D window was closed.
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

I noticed these minor formatting issues a while back.

   

Nothing big I think, but thought to report it anyway.

This is on SeaMonkey but I would expert it to be browser independent.

Conclusion First:
 I you include STEP directive in you model properly. You get great dynamic building instrunction. Then everything what you need is Buf3D, right.

Conclusion Second:
 For me: The tool that is used to manage their own sets, and have a decent database, it is. . . rebrickable.com

Conclusion Third:
  What is must needed functionality, that we have on own smartphone have ?

Conclusion Forth:
As newsletter, good is brickset.com

Ok, last request from me for the time being.
I'm looking for 2 stickers. More precisely, I'm looking for:

• The big DBG stickers from the sticker sheet from set 75141. I don't need the whole sheet, just that DBG sticker.
  
• The sticker from the sticker sheet from set 7667.
