  Lg_Color #40 defs
Posted by: Tom Burger - 2016-09-23, 0:34 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - No Replies

i have been working for years, even back then when i was still rendering under the grapeape name on brickshelf

heres my latest work on one of the hardest colors to get right in my opinion.

// 40
#declare lg_clear_brown = texture {
 // pigment { rgbft <25/255, 24/255, 20/255, .9, .1>
 // /\ darker  10%
// pigment { rgbft <51/255, 49/255, 42/255, .9, .3>
 // /\ darker  20%  
 
  //      pigment { rgbft <53/255, 50/255, 38/255, .9, .3>
 // /\ photo color match  
   pigment { rgbft <99/255, 95/255, 82/255, .9, .85>   
 // /\ original color 39% bright 9/2016
  #if (lg_quality > 1)
   filter 0.8
  #end
 }
 finish { lg_transparent_finish }
}

heres one of my latest renders with the smoke color.

  [LDPartEditor] 0.8.25 Beta-Test for Windows XP
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2016-09-21, 22:12 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (2)

Hi :)

sadly, I was not able to launch my recent build of LDPE (0.8.25) on my Windows XP virtual machine.
It would be nice if someone tries to start the new version on an old machine (which has a dedicated graphics card).

You can find the archive here (32-bit only):

Leg godt

I think there is something wrong with the forum group rights,.

I just noticed I can view (and probably post, but didn't try) the steering co group while I'm not a member of that group.

The footnotes don't work at all!

Can someone fix this?

  Search Delay
Posted by: Travis Cobbs - 2016-09-17, 4:11 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (5)

Does the forum need the 30-second delay between successive searches for registered users? Sometimes I'll search for something, and after getting too many results, I'll immediately try to be more specific in my search, but it forces me to wait 30 seconds in that case. It's not the end of the world, but it's inconvenient.

  Latest version of L3P.exe?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-09-17, 1:13 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (3)

I noticed some of my POV files were generated by a newer version of L3P.exe than the one available on Lars Hassing's website.

http://www.hassings.dk/l3/l3p.html

The one you can download from that webpage is this one:
// Generated by L3P v1.4 BETA 20080930 (Win32)  © 1998-2008 Lars C. Hassing [email protected]

The one I somehow got a hold of in the past is this one:
// Generated by L3P v1.4 BETA 20131202 (Win32)  © 1998-2013 Lars C. Hassing [email protected]

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the newer version? Some of my helper scripts were designed with that version in mind, and they no longer work. Thanks.

  LDCad under wine (on mac)
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2016-09-14, 18:18 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (10)

Hi all today someone asked (again) if there is a mac version of LDCad.

I advised the usual try a virtual machine, but this time I also thought about WINE as there is a mac version of that.

This made me wanne try running LDCad under wine in Linux as it should be the same I think.

So with some tweaks I did manage to get LDCad 1.5 running under wine on Mint 8,

It acts a bit weird the first start though but the second seems ok, only problem is no text rendering (so all crosses in the menus etc).

This was fixed by coping the FreeSans.ttf and FreeMone.ttf font files into the default/gui folder though.

The fun was then spoiled by it crashing assoon you start a new model, but this might be the result of me running mint in a virtual machine using software rendering.

Has anyone else tried running LDCad under WINE on Linux or a mac ?

update:
The crash was caused by using  std::locale envDef("")  for some reason, I managed to fix that by using std::locale envDef("C") this combined with the option to disable file monitoring seems to make WINE usable combined with LDCad 1.6.  I will need to do some more test though, any additional findings from experienced Wine users will be appreciated.

update2:
found a better way to fix the fonts issue, just symlink the systems font root dir into the wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts folder, like shown on the below picture.

LDCad 1.6 beta 1 running under wine on mint 18 which itself is running under vmplayer on Windows 7 Pro 64 Smile
