Hi all,

Again, something about texture mapping... this time, on transparent parts.

When I create that, the pattern is also rendered a little transparent in LDCad.

In LDView, the plane where the texture is on becomes a little opaque.

Can this effect be undone?


Thanks again.

Hello, I was wondering if this part was already made in LDraw? I am new here and so far I have been unable to find the classic Boba/Jango Fett Helmet (the combined open visor helmet and jetpack piece).

If this part is not available yet, I would love to see it in LDraw in the future if that is possible.

-Thank you for your time and amazing work,

Hi,

This is my first time here. I am looking for a way to add additional option for LSynth in MLCad. Iam trying to add WeDo2.0 Power Functions Cable into the current configuration. I managed to design the .dat file by modify LS70.dat and save it as LS72.dat. Now, i would like to add the new option whenever i am using the MLCad.

Here is the thing i have tried:

1. I add some additional code for Lsynth.mpd from “C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw\LSynth\bin”. For the record, I did not know where to place the “ldr” file which written there. I search my whole computer for similar file, I did not find it.

2. I tried to modify MLCad.ini from "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ldraw"

So, I have a question regarding LPub3D, or rather using the available meta commands in a specific way.
I have a submodel that is 'formed'; all hinges are rotated. Then I have a copy of that submodel which is non-formed; completely straight. I want LPub to generate instructions for the non-formed version, but then showing the formed version in the assembly. I hope that makes sense to anyone.

Is there a way to do this? I can vaguely remember I did something like this in the past, but I wasn't able to find my implementation so I'm not sure it's even possible. Any ideas?

Is anyone working on this one? The new 2017 mudguard from City

Vehicle, Mudguard 4 x 3 x 1 with Arch Curved

Work in progress....  Completed!

Completed the build, attached the mpd file. Not OMR conform, and not including all unofficial parts yet. Need to upload these and stickers to the tracker.

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!
