Hello to all! I've been using LDraw for seven years and have designed both LEGO and "non-LEGO" parts alike. My portfolio can be seen here. To note, some parts are my own custom design and therefore not true LEGO, though I made the effort to fit them within the LEGO spirit and theme. I hope you like!

I am interested in connecting personally with those who share my interest in design as well as POV-Ray; my LinkedIn profile is here.

Hi Guys!

I'm looking since a while for this modern boat hull brick. Its used in the Black Pearl (4185) and also - in a different color for the Queen Anne's Revenge (4195) & Sailship (10210)

In the booklet its labeled as 4640684, at brick-stores the part is comon labeled as 64645.
Its a key part, and essential for the new way of building LEGO ships. It would be great if someone kind could make it. =)

It appears that part 91049 has not yet been created. I was wondering if anyone could help me out by creating it or simply pointing me to where I missed it

Thanks in advance

Currently I am working on an app that uses much the OMR Spec.

So I need to fully understand it.

I have a problem with the following content:

An updated version of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer, in short AIOI, has been released. It comes with:

• LDraw Parts Library update 2012-02
  
• MLCad.ini 2012-02, which has two new categories:
  Headwear accessories such as goggles and visors and hipwear such as the Armour SW Clone Trooper Tasset.
  Both are currently supported only by LeoCAD.
  
• SR 3D Builder 0.7.3.12 (unregistered)
  
• LeoCAD 0.78 - 6152
  

In the interest of leaving some public record of its lifespan, I thought I'd post a note here to mention that I've retired Bitsticker, an image-to-LDraw-sticker CGI script I wrote a few years ago. Although it was capable of some clever tricks, it was never intended as (or, to my knowledge, used as) a serious part authoring tool. Plus, it proved tedious to maintain as my web site and hosting service changed.

Anyway, here is a gallery of example images, including an "art gallery" with paintings rendered as actual LDraw elements:



(I have not been following the progress of the LDraw texture standard closely, but my guess is that it will soon facilitate similar appearances anyway.)

Another updated version of the application is now available from http://sr3dbuilder.altervista.org/

Most significant new feature is STICKER support as shown in this video:

Following is a list of what is changed.

Enjoy Building !!

0.7.3.12 - Changes to previous version (2012.08.20)

Fixed
- Parts selection can cause application crash when using groups
- Problems aligning parts along a vertical axle
- Animation of Linear Actuators was a bit incorrect
- Animation of some kind of complex hinges was incorrect (not totally fixed but anyway better than before)
- Flex parts management should now work again !!
- When rotating the viewpoint with RMB can accidentally (but very annoying) add your selection to model
when releasing button over yellow and blue center

Added
- Support for STICKERS!! ( for registered users ). Please notice that since stickers connections are added
on-the-fly to model parts, this causes the following different behaviors in the UI:
. The sticker follow mouse pointer over bricks it can connect with (and auto-orient according to part
surface slope)
. You can only use the keyboard to rotate a sticker and add it to the model (use <SPACE> or <ENTER>)
- Application now creates a backup of your model before saving it
- Latest lDraw official parts update (August 2012)

There are still some floating boat hulls waiting to be made:

Boat Hull Unitary 25 x 10 x 4 1/3 Complete Assembly

Boat Hull Unitary 38 x 10 x 5 2/3 Complete Assembly

Boat Hull Unitary 52 x 12 x 6 1/3 Complete Assembly


It would be nice to see at least one of them in the ldraw library. Maybe one or even two of them are ready next year at this time...
I know each of them is a lot of work...

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts
update 2012-02. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available
in MLCad's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

A direct download is available at: http://www.holly-wood.it/files/mlcad/MLCad.ini

Bye, w.
