  LDRAW is great for rendering but ...
Posted by: Michael Klein - 2016-03-05, 17:18 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (1)

... there's no smooth way actually.

The only method what worked for me to create nice and perfect renderings was using the add-on via BLENDER.

Every other method by using the exporters of some tools failed.

What would we need:

And LDR-exporter reading LDR and MPD files using a feature called INSTANCES. COLLADA would be the format to go.
Instances can be groups by geometry and color or just be geometry. I have to use geometry and color for MODO.
Instancing means that you have one master brick and the other bricks of the same type in a scene will be "virtual copies". You can translate, rotate or scale them. If you change the master mesh all instance-copies will be updated to the same type.
This is one feature I was asking for the LDR-Importer for BLENDER on GitHub.

And last but not least two optional features to choose:

- studs with its own top bevel because the studs top bevel is a bit bigger than the other edges
- the extruded LEGO logo (not the rounded one)

  Star Wars Executor MOC - 71.000 bricks
Posted by: Michael Klein - 2016-03-05, 17:03 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (2)

Take a look at my latest renderings. This insane MOC is a LDD-import to MECABRICKS. Because of the instance support of the exporter (COLLADA) the model can be handled very good in MODO. I also have the LDR-file of it but an import to BLENDER would definitely fail.

It would be great of someone is able to write a LDRAW>COLLADA exporter supporting instances and the choice to add LEGO logos onto studs.

  Make black less black and render with white lines
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2016-03-05, 13:27 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Hi all,

How can I define a new color to use in LPub3D.
I have a model with much black and want the black to be less black (more like black rubber or very dark grey) and have the lines around the bricks in white.
I know one can do this in ldconfig? How? I have never used this before.

Thanks!

  Unoffcial part not showing up in LPub3D in the PLI and BOM
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2016-03-05, 12:25 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (14)

Hi all,

What does LPub3D require to count and render an unofficial part, because I have this part not showing up in the PLI and BOM of a model. It is part 20310 (Design Brick) mocked up by Magnus.
Where ever I put it, LPub3D just won't count it nor render it in PLI and BOM.
It is rendered in de assembly images though, so it can find the part.
It is in the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw\Parts
I manually added it to the parts.lst file like this:

Code:
20310.dat                  Brick  1 x  1 with Capital Open Stud (Mock-up)
Please help! I need some instructions done this weekend... :-(

Thanks.

P.S. LPub 4.0.0.11 (on the same system) renders and counts it just fine in the assembly images, PLI and BOM

  LPub3D - page setup questions
Posted by: Jetro de Château - 2016-03-02, 14:32 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

I've been looking at instructions generated with LPub to get some ideas of what's possible and I've seen some interesting things.

I've found out I can get a submodel to show up in the PLI of the step it is used in using

Code:
0 !LPUB PLI INCLUDE_SUBMODELS GLOBAL TRUE

Now I'm trying to figure out if I can show the complete submodel before the first step of that submodel in a PLI like bubble - I've seen it done, just haven't found the way to do it yet.


P.S. Jaco, I have been going through some of your excellent explanations on your website, but navigation is sometimes very complicated. I can never find a way to go to the next page, only up Wink

  2016/2017 LDraw.org Steering Committee announced
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2016-03-01, 12:11 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (1)

Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, there won't be any Super Tuesday.

Therefore, the 2016/2017 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Chris Dee
Philippe Hurbain
Orion Pobursky
Max Martin Richter
Willy Tschager

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw.org Standards Board (LSB). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Board deals with the LDraw File Format.

Congratulations to the reconfirmed members!

Willy Tschager
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee
