  Required for instructions: 93071 & 93072
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2014-10-02, 15:50 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (6)

Hello,

I am creating building instructions (together with someone else) and the model uses part 93071 and 93072. Those are very difficult parts and I understand if nobody wants to make those, but I can still hope Smile

Both parts can be found on Bricklink by typing in the number and then pb0x behind it where x is a number. 93071 is a dragon head with prints, I don't need the prints, but of course they may be added. 93072 is a dragon jaw and it is a multicolored part. I don't know a lot about part authoring, but I think that isn't a big problem and you can easily create a part for every multicolord version?

Anyway, in this case, I specifially need this one and this one.

Both parts are also in LDD.


Thanks in advance!
-Merlijn

  LDCad 1.4 Beta 1 (win+linux)
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2014-09-29, 19:52 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (16)

Hi all,

This weekend I finished the first beta of LDCad 1.4, it took a bit more time than I planned but hopefully it's worth the wait.

Some new features are:

  • Script based animation.
  • Groups are now stored in the LDraw file.
  • Updated GUI (font and some icons wise).
  • Made it easier to interact with session mode's and options
  • Experimental support for the LDraw texture meta (all three variants)

See the changeLog.txt for the full list of changes and additions.

Animation is of course by far the most important new feature, animaitons are done using lua scripts. I added three animations to some of the example models (5510, 5580 and 8248).

Here's a clip of 8248 and 5580 in action.

I also added a full api reference to the LDCad site at

http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/docs/scriptAPI

and some getting started pointers concering making animations at

http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/docs/scriptExamples


With the 1.4 version I also changed the license a bit, it adds an exception to the non commercial use only part. As I received questions from people wanting to use LDCad for making building manuals in order to sell them.

Final note due to the new font rendering I'm not completely sure the 1.4 version will work on all Linux distributions currently compatible with 1.3a, so part of this first beta will be fine tuning that aspect of the Linux versions. But I can only do that if people report problems (or success) to me so I can make adjustments etc.

Thanks to Willy for tweaking some of the navigation arrow icons for me.

In closing some screenshots , hope you like the new version.

Quote:Line Termination

All lines in the file must use the standard DOS/Windows line termination of(carriage return/line feed). The file is permitted (but not required) to end with a. It is recommended that all LDraw-compliant programs also be capable of reading files with the standard Unix line termination of(line feed).

End with a what? I'm assuming what's missing is "carriage return/line feed" ?

I created a new topic since the old one was going to be more and more confusing and takes some time to load when displaying all messages at the same time.
Nevertheless, I am still targeting to release the version 0.8.0 Beta on Monday, 24 December 2014 edit: Tuesday, 7th April 2015
