  AIOI problem when installed on a drive other than C:\
Posted by: james2vegas - 2013-04-24, 8:52 - Forum: All Other Programs. - Replies (9)

During the AIOI, PovRay is installed and a post-install patch gets applied to povray.ini and pvengine.ini to add the LGEO bits, but to find those files, only the C: drive is searched, even if Povray is installed on another drive (R: in this case).

  WebGL/Three.js real-time renderer
Posted by: Athanasios Gaitatzes - 2013-04-20, 20:50 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (2)

I would like to share a browser based renderer that I have been working on and would like the input of people on how to deploy it.
I am most concerned about copyright issues. The way it is setup right now is that you can only view 5-6 files that I have found on the net (and dont have copyright :-)

First download this simple text file http://www.virtuality.gr/AGG/EaZD-Lego/lego.scene that contains the scene description in XML format and http://www.virtuality.gr/AGG/EaZD-Lego/scene.xml which describes the options you can have in a scene file.
Then visit http://www.virtuality.gr/AGG/EaZD-Lego/index.html and drag the lego.scene file in the rectangle, wait a little (my server is not very fast) and you will see the rendering of the model.
I have tested both Firefox 20.0 and Chrome 26.0. Chrome needs the command line option --allow-file-access-from-files before it starts. In my tests I have found Chrome to be about 20% faster than Firexox.

You can uncomment and view any of the models in the scene file. In XML this '<!--' opens a comment and this '-->' closes one.

The reason you can only see these examples is because I also have them on my server. But as you can put your own models in the scene file I would have no idea which model it is since I cannot read from your hard drive.

This is where I am asking for your input. The only way I can think of, is if you drop on my server two files. One the scene description (.scene) and one for the lego file (note that more than one ldr file might be referenced inside the .scene file). But that would also mean that you are giving me your LDraw file creation. If nobody minds that, I can go ahead and implement it. Other design suggestions are welcome.

Anyway I enjoyed implementing parts of the LDraw spec, specially the nerve-racking BFC :-)

PS. Conditional lines are not supported.

  Write on a brick in MLCad...
Posted by: Fabrice Vion - 2013-04-18, 20:41 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (5)

Hello,
Does somebody know if it's possible to write a word on a brick in MLCad (like if I use a brick with a sticker or an engraved brick).
Does a plug'in exit to do that ?

Thanks in advance,
Fabrice

Thumbs Up parts 3713 and 6590 Technic Bush with Two Flanges
Posted by: Nicola - 2013-04-12, 12:51 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Hi, many latest sets contains the techic "standard" bush as part 6590, but it doesn't appear on the ldraw library. The library contains part 3713 that looks identical to me. Maybe they could be aliased somehow ?

Peeron says to use 3713 for 6590.

  HELP!!!READ ME!ABOUT SUB PART
Posted by: k1n9 - 2013-04-10, 15:04 - Forum: Help - Replies (4)

Hi guys,
I'm new to LDraw and recently I created my own parts in LDraw.
I would like to reuse the small part created in another larger part but I cannot use the small part as a sub-part, should I upload the sub-part to library or just put it in the p file(but seems like it cannot be recognized if I only put the sub-part in p file)?

Do you know what I mean? What should I do, any helps please?

  New Theme colors
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2013-04-10, 5:26 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (5)

We've shifted our theme colors to better match the main LDraw.org website (and I thought the grey was a bit drab). Any feedback would be appreciated.
