You'll find here my first experiment with Texture mapping extension...
A few issues...
- Resolution (here 300dpi) looks fairly low, despite a rather large image size.
- The image was obtained by scanning the sticker sheet. But there are color matching issues! image file 10602r0.png is raw from scanner. In the image used for mapping (10602r.png) I tried to substitute yellow and red values obtained from LDconfig.ldr, but when you look at part with sticker (64683stick-r.dat) using LDView, you see that match is still far from perfect. And what happens if LDConfig color definition is tuned? The sticker will no longer match...
- Smooth shading doesn't seem effective in LDView with texmap (see parts with "condlines" in filename)
- This forum doesn't let me post texture images directly! (or a zipped folder...).

Comments? Suggestions?

Edit: Just noticed that subfile 64683s03.dat wrongly contained top surface. Now corrected in archive linked above.

This page is missing a link to Language Extension for Texture Mapping

Would be nice if somebody could make it: 2578.b Vehicle, Brush Holder for Street Sweeper - Hinge Fitting
A similar part 2578.dat exist already-maybe this helps for the creation of this one...

I wish to announce that I am targeting to release the version 0.8.0 Beta on Monday, 24 December 2014.

Thanks in advance.

I just release version 3.0.10.0 of DATHeader.

NEW:
1) Editor - Replace implemented
2) Postprocessing with Rectifier implemented.
CHANGE:
1) Part description check warning messagebox for primitives disabled.
But the result of the check might still be wrong!
BUGFIX:
1) Detected '0 BFC CERTIFY CW' or similar was not been fixed.
2) If a line '0 BFC CW' or '0 BFC CCW' is in a file the bodycheck stopped with error message.
3) If the Header has been changed the linenumber in the editor was not correct.
4) In the Gui of the header data the field for Update is placed incorrect if window is resized.
5) Autocorrection claims for subparts not to use CATAGORY and KEYWORDS

Please leave all comments for this version as response to this topic.

Have fun.

Help. I have the latest all in installer installed and running on win7 64. The instructions I have made and edited in lpub I saved the first time arround. Opened the file the following day to find some callout steps in strange places but easily fixed. The worst part is when you try to load up page 112 it gives me this message " Microsft Visual C++ Runtime library" then when you OK it LDview pops up a message "LDView has stopped working", then when you pass that error message it loads up page 112 without the main model but with all the page numbers and step numbers and callout etc. still on the page. So my question is what happen to my main model pic on the pages from 112 to the end?
Also why cant it generate the instructions to pdf?/and stop changing the structure of the pages?
I know its not the computer to lack of power and I have also reinstalled Microsoft visuals.

Hi,

Is anyone working on a part for the Urak-hai helmet (a Lord of the Rings part)?

I've got a nice model of Lurtz here, but would like to create some other Urak-hai figures to make up an army :-)

I have loved working with LDraw, but I have noticed there are not enough rotation points when rotating a part or model.

Example would be when tiling a panel or windscreen or when builing a model with wheels that are built higher in the back.

If there were another rotation point between each of the current rotation angels now it would be great.

Anyone else experienced this need?
