  Shaping a minifig chain in LDCad
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2016-02-05, 21:07 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (13)

Hi all,

Finally I got into LDcad and learning quick.

Now I found this really nice model of a jeep by Larry Lars:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
I made it digital exclusively with LDCad.
Then I made it with bricks, which was most fun because I had my own building instructions and parts list to find all bricks needed :-)
I made some minor adjustments and decided to ad a little chain at the front. See picture.

   

Now I want that chain made in LDCad. I've been trying a few things, but cannot get it right. See chain.mpd.
Can someone assist?
What I'd really like is it to be symetric like the real thing...

Thanks.

  Slope variations 92946 vs 15672
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2016-02-05, 11:46 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (6)

Yesterday, an interesting story was posted on the Rebrickable blog.
It's about two minor slope variations (92946 and 15672) which actually does have a (relatively) 'major' impact on the way the piece can be used.

I was wondering, does the LDraw library included such minor variations? I guess the answer is yes, since the library also includes other mold variations. But, this one is so minor, almost unoticeable on a PC screen.

Aside from that, it does mean that our current 92946 is actually slightly wrong. At the moment, the slope is exactly the same as 3040b, which it shouldn't be according to the measurements (and even LDD, as stated in the post).

Any thoughts about this? Smile

  PDF output LPub3D changed?
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2016-02-04, 16:41 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (5)

Hi (Trevor),

Just today I noticed there has been a change in the way LPub3D makes a PDF.
Where first all text was still text and all images where individually put on the page, now one page is one whole image?

Why is this? I assume you have good reasons?

Can you undo this or make it optional?
I often rely on the ability to manipulate individual elements in the PDF (with Acrobat Professional) and would very much like this the way it was.

Thanks.

Anyone fancy creating the stickers for this part (I'm mainly interested in the image on the left of the sticker). [Image: lego-transparent-sticker-sheet-for-set-6...839-25.jpg]

  Animation fun with LDCad
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2016-02-02, 14:57 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (14)

I wrote a few animation scripts for LDCad that build/explode/dissolve a model...
You may see the results in this Youtube playlist.
The scripts are attached here, as well as the model used for the videos: a "flattened" (submodels inlined) of Makou's CAD model of 10018 - Darth Maul

To test these scripts on you own model:

  • Load model in LDCad
  • Model -> edit header -> scripting tab
  • Browse to the script you want to try / OK
  • Click on model name on top right of edit window and choose "animation" mode
  • Play and enjoy!

  LPub3D rendering with POV-Ray ... INI error
Posted by: Brian - 2016-01-31, 10:03 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (10)

Hi, I get several error messages when LPub3D attempts to render with POV-Ray v3.7 ... LPub3D rendering with LDView works; and POV-Ray v3.7 will render individual LDR and MPD files. The command line error seems to be a file that doesn't exist:

Could not find file ...\LPub\parts\40490_0_1650_150_DPCM_0.75_23_-45.png.ini
Cannot open INI file ...\LPub\parts\40490_0_1650_150_DPCM_0.75_23_-45.png

  Does this pattern exist in real life??
Posted by: Christian Maglekær - 2016-01-30, 17:55 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (1)

I came across this pattern, in the videogame of LEGO City Undercover.
I have a feeling that I've seen it before. But I can not remember where or how.
