I'm working on BIs for WeDo models. These models are typically for (very) young builders and the instructions LEGO provide show every instance of the elements used (e.g. if there are 2 white 1x4 plates, the PLI shows 2 plates). Can this be done in LPub3D?
A minor issue with setting the path for LDView. MPDCenter wants the 32-bit executable name (LDView) but I have the 64-Bit version installed. (LDView64).
I've made a dummy of the device, it might help with the size of it.
I have a broken device lying around, I have discovered that the battery cover has part number 32093 (Just for info).
G'day. I have installed the latest AIO setup and updated Lpub3D. When im using Lpub3d and the renderer as povray, can the rendered pics be of higher detail so to speak. Everything is set as it was installed. the povray selected setting is
[1920x1080 16:9 AA 0.3]
Width=1920
Height=1080
Antialias=On
Antialias_Threshold=0.3
but this gives blocky pixleated images in Lpub3d. So I wondering if I can make them high detail even maybe to the point of realism. I have attached a screen shot where you can see how I would like to change the quality of the lego renders.
Cheers Jono
I've looked all around, and no one seems to have asked for his part yet (which I'm actually kind of surprised about). It's not the easiest part, but I've found it's used a lot, so if anyone could put themselves up for it, that'd be great.
One of the hardest things to achieve is getting the perfect angle for a specific step. I normally use the standard angle, but sometimes you need to change it to show where a specific piece is attached...
I'm familiar with the use of the ROTSTEP command, both relative (which I use most) and absolute), but I was wondring if there were some better way to find the right angle than guessing the numbers.
When I used MLCad I used the preview window for the ROTSTEP command, but I haven't found anything similar in MLCad (yet). Since LPub3D also has a 3D view pane (which I haven't found a use for yet) I was wondering if that could be used to determine the correct numbers for a specific ROTSTEP command.
we all came across the yellow heads in the library and I always wondered why he have allowed them? The file of one of these says:

The strange thing is. The 3626bp31.dat for example simply misses the stubble and we have better version in the library:
