Hi everyone

After making my first experience with designing the door mechanism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxlyYJTapKQ) I had the idea to design a compressor and it came in my mind to try a variable displacement compressor. The model is finished and all animations are scripted. It took a while to complete it and a lot of paper to find and solve the trigonometric equations needed for the animations. So I just didn't want to present everything right away. Instead I want to show a short preview video.

And voilà, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfGCAZ8hAE4


If you like the preview and like to see the final video, please subscribe to my channel. I will go on finishing the final video with animated functions.


Remark: I was quite happy with POV for my door model but for this preview I had to deal with scattering and this consumed a lot of rendering time. Indeed it took a few days to render the 900 frames for this video. So, the final video will not have scattering

Can anyone suggest how to compile a list of LDraw's minifig heads, but only in the colors they were manufactured in? Thanks.

What's the recommended procedure in LDCad to indicate part/assembly placement using arrows, lines, and inset bubbles?  Here's a link to an example:

Needs and Concerns:

• BUFEXCHG is needed?
  
• With and without subfile assemblies?
  
• CLEAR commands needed?
  
• Custom arrows, dashed/dotted lines, bubble callouts, etc?
  
• Prevent part duplication in the parts list?
  
• Clear and understandable rendering in LDCad
  

I recently discovered that the webhost for the forums, wiki, and OMR is actively blocking the IP addresses of most of the exit nodes for the Private Internet Access VPN service. The main site has a different webhost and is unaffected. Currently, if you want to access these 3 parts of ldraw.org while logged into PIA, I have found that Las Vegas, Brazil, the 3 Canadian exit nodes work. There may be others as I didn't test them all. If this is affecting you, I have opened a support ticket with them and will update this post when I know more.

Hi guys

My work on the Nexo Knight Power shields is progressing slowly.
Found the first shield that was not listed on https://www.spyrius.org/nexo/. It is the shield #133 "Alpha Drill".
Does anyone have the shield or a picture of the shield on which the code can be seen?
Thanks in advance.

Regards Johann

Guys,

I'm looking for some pictures of:


https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ge?P=20193

as well as its measurements.

Furthermore I'd like to discuss the naming. I'm fine with "Foam" as we also have "Canvas" and strangely "Sail" in the category. I think we have to decide if we go with, either the name of a thing or its material for all non-ABS parts. I certainly do not like:

Curtain for Window  1 x  4 x  3 with Red/Green/Dark Flesh Plaid Pattern
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../97122.dat

which should read:

Canvas Curtain for Window  1 x  4 x  3 with Red/Green/Dark Flesh Plaid Pattern

Hi Roland, and others,

I have LDCad 1.6b running and configured like it should, but no texture is rendered on textured parts.
I still have LDCad 1.6a running on the same machine that uses the same libraries and there all my custom texturemapped parts render just fine.

What could be wrong?
I obviously checked and made sure Texture mapping was enabled in 1.6b.

If anyone wanted to take a look at 11103 I wouldn't complain.  I am just looking to use it in a build.  Not a new piece, looks like it was just never made, no rush at all.

Thank you.

Does any one know if it is possible when using the parts tracker lookup to include constraints so that the returned results exclude parts which contain the given word?

For example, I want to search for "slope brick" but I don't want the results to include "slope brick curved". Searching for "slope brick" also includes the curved slope bricks. I tried to exclude the "curved slopes" with a simple "-curved" value in the search. Sadly, this did not yield the desired result.

Regards,

David

Hello,

I'm wondering if someone has this part, it would be much appreciated, thanks!
