New Parts for LGEO Library

[Sven v. Beuningen]

I also tried radiosity, but with multiple light sources. This didn't worked our very well. With only on light source, I've got nice results.

I experimented with radiosity allready in the beginning, but I didn't came to a good result. With the new settings it feels promising so far. I'll start over render everything again, because of better results. I expect less problematic parts, since the problem with the faces seems to be solved now .

So Long

I am rendering an old LGEO scene, but with your new parts library. When I try to render the scene it quits when it asks for "lg_2582_slope" which it can't find. Do you know what might be the issue? Thanks.

Code:

//// Part 2582.dat
#ifndef (_2582_dot_dat)
#if (L3Quality > 0)
    #ifndef (lg_2582)
        #include "lg_2582.inc"
    #end
#end
#declare _2582_dot_dat = #if (L3Quality = 0) box { <-40,-4,-30>, <40,72,10> } #else object {
// Hinge Panel  2 x  4 x  3 & 1/3
    lg_2582
    transform L3LgeoToLDraw
}
#end
#declare _2582_dot_dat_clear = #if (L3Quality = 0) box { <-40,-4,-30>, <40,72,10> } #else object {
// Hinge Panel  2 x  4 x  3 & 1/3
    lg_2582_clear
    transform L3LgeoToLDraw
}
#end
#if (L3Quality > 0)
#declare _2582_dot_dat_slope = object {
// Hinge Panel  2 x  4 x  3 & 1/3
    lg_2582_slope
    transform L3LgeoToLDraw
}
#end
#end // ifndef (_2582_dot_dat)

The model was generated using L3P.exe.

Hi,

It might be a typo in my files, I will investigate and let you know asap.

OK, I see the problem.

Historically LGEO considers 2582 as a "slope" part, with a grainy surface.
Apparently I didn't consider it as a "slope" part.

The question is : has that part a grainy surface or not?
I can't answer as I don't own it.


After a few search on the web, I would say that this part is not grainy.
Only a pattern version is.



If someone can confirm this, that would be great.

Apparently, it is not that simple. For example this one has a pattern and is not grainy (I own this part!), but it is transparent.
And this one is not transparent and is also not grainy.

Thanks Nils for the info.

So from what I undestand, only some patterns are grainy, and obviously, the unpatternd part is not, so I would say that my version is correct.

So you have two solutions for you render:
- use my LGEO.xml file, use my package, recreate the .pov file from ldview
- use my package, keep your existing L3P generated .pov file, remove all lg_2582_slope related stuff from your .pov file (if you can give me the entire .pov file I can do it for you).

BTW, are you still using L3P or are you only trying to rerender an old file?

[Michael Horvath]

FYI

Part `lg_4070` asks for `lego_logo_text`, but this object is only created if the quality level is higher than 2. I think there needs to be a check for quality level inside the part.

[edit]

Part `lg_4083` does this too

[Michael Horvath]

I have a bunch of old scenes made with L3P.

I think the bigger problem WRT the sloped part needs to be solved by LDraw parts authors. IMO there should be one digital part per real part, including the graininess, but ignoring differences in color.

[Michael Horvath]

FYI

Three parts expect there to be a `LG_INNER_CORNER_SPACE` variable, but it seems not to be defined anywhere.

The parts are:

lg_2959.inc
lg_33291.inc
lg_91049.inc

[Michael Horvath]

FYI

Two parts expect there to be the objects called `lg_tech_knob_join` and `lg_tech_knob_join_clear`, but they are not defined anywhere. These parts are:

lg_33291.inc
lg_macro.inc

Thanks for that!

As I never render without Logo, I've never notice that.

The Package has been updated, you shouldn't get the problem anymore.

[Damien Roux]

The parts are:

lg_2959.inc
lg_33291.inc
lg_91049.inc

As my libraby conflicts with Owen's one, those parts are giving problems.

I have reworked them, so the problem shouldn't be there anymore.
They will be "officially release" on my next update, but they are already in the package, so you can download it.

[Damien Roux]

FYI

lg_33291.inc
lg_macro.inc

33291 is OK (see my previous post).

But there are still 20 parts (made by Owen) that use the "lg_macro.inc" file, so they will give problems until I rework them. Hopefully on next update.

I have the following folders filled with LGEO parts:

Do you see any potential conflicts from dumping them all into the same folder? Just as importantly, does your version LGEO.xml include all of these?

Thanks.

[Michael Horvath]

"lg_3794a.inc"

This part is listed in LGEO.xml, but I don't think the LGEO part was actually ever created. At least, I don't have a copy of the part, and it causes POV-Ray to stop parsing because it is missing.

[edit]

Same for "lg_2345p44.inc".

[edit]

"lg_4215a.inc" complains about missing object `lego_logo_text_clear` if `lg_quality` is less than 3.

[Michael Horvath]

My lgeo.xml was based on Owen's one I guess, but might not be up to date.
The one I'm currently sharing has my around 500 personnal LGEO parts in it, but as I'm cleaning the lg files one by one, I would say that my xml file will not be completely usable until I finish to release everything. Should be a matter of one or two weeks. I will make regular updates on the Eurobricks forum.

When everything will be done, I think yes, you could add it to the AIOI if the file size is OK. But before I need testers to make sure the parts are compatible with other computers.

No hurry on this. The AIOI usually ships in June and January. Consider the LDraw wiki as comune upload place for the lgeo.xml.

w.

Which page in the wiki? Thanks.

I would say, yes my LGEO.xml include all of these but my lgdefs.inc is not compatible with Owen's part, so it will give errors until I've replaced all the problematic ones. As stated in my first post it is still WIP.
I am slowly trying to make it 100% OK but the work is quite huge, so it takes time.

When everything will be ready my package will be part of the ldraw AIOI.

I would say, make a copy of your current LGEO setup and give it a try!

Thanks for the notice. I will investigate. But PovRay shouldn't crash because of LGEO.xml because it doesn't use it actually.

[Damien Roux]

I do have a lg_3794a.inc file from original LGEO library. Maybe I have renamed it form lg_3794.inc, I don't know.
I will recreate that part for next update, so the problem will disappear.

lg_2345p44.inc is a part I forgot to include (for some reason), it will be fixed for next update.

lg_4215a.inc is fixed, you can already redownload the package to get it.



BTW, I'd like to thank you for pointing me all these mistakes, it helps a lot! Feel free to go on!

Is that plan still on track or did you loose interest meanwhile?

Just asking because your last update of this thread is now nearly exactly one year old and I'm still looking forward to that official release.
You did such a great work up to that point and it would be a shame if it now just get abandoned.

Kind regards,
Tom

Yes, this is still on tracks, just lacking time.
I have maybe 20 parts to rework and I'm done.
Then a few issues still prevents it to be officially release, maybe regarding compatibility with current LGEO library.
I cannot give a date but I will try to get back to work to complete it soon.

There is no status. It doesn't exist because I dropped the ball on this.

Oh, that's too bad. I've collected a lot of parts, but can't always remember which person's parts need to be applied first and which need to be applied last (and override the others). I would rather just periodically download them all from ldraw.org.

I haven't forgotten about this, it's priority just lowered a few notches.

Is there any licensing issue? Or is it not an issue? Just curious, thanks.

[Michael Horvath]

Thanks Nils for the info.

So from what I undestand, only some patterns are grainy, and obviously, the unpatternd part is not, so I would say that my version is correct.

So you have two solutions for you render:
- use my LGEO.xml file, use my package, recreate the .pov file from ldview
- use my package, keep your existing L3P generated .pov file, remove all lg_2582_slope related stuff from your .pov file (if you can give me the entire .pov file I can do it for you).

BTW, are you still using L3P or are you only trying to rerender an old file?

Sorry for the late reply.

Instead of removing the part from the model, do you maybe mean replacing the part with something else? I don't want a hole to appear in my model where a missing part is supposed to be.

I must admit that I don’t remember what I meant...

Am I correct in noticing that the AIOI now includes Owen's and Darat's parts?

I don't think my parts are part of the AIOI (if they do, 'm not aware of it), but Owen's ones are.

My mistake, sorry! I have too much stuff on my computer I can't keep track of everything.

Is this what you are talking about?

https://github.com/billthefish/LDrawPOV

I also have a github account, as well as spreadsheets for keeping track of what LGEO parts have been released and by whom. (Maybe a little out of date, but shouldn't take long to update.) What I am not sure about are copyrights to redistribute LGEO parts. The individual parts just say "for private non-commercial use only" which is insufficient.

No, that was a side project of mine from many years ago. The goal was to create a library that was entirely CSG with no meshes. It was going to be supported by L3P 1.4 but since L3P 1.4 was never officially released this project never really took off.

I'm pretty sure LDView's POV export supports it.

[Travis Cobbs]

I'm pretty sure LDView's POV export supports it.

Enable "Search for POV replacements for LDraw parts" in the "Native POV Geometry" section of LDView's POV export settings, then make sure the inc files are in <LDrawDir>/pov/p or <LDrawDir>/pov/parts. Then as long as the filenames match the dat filenames (with .inc instead of .dat), it should work.

Is the SourceForge repo any different from the GitHub repo?

No. I converted it to a github repo along with my other (stale) projects since I'm not the biggest fan of SF's interface right now.

[Michael Horvath]

I know I have discussed this in the past, but neither I nor Google can locate that discussion.

Anyway, several parts reference an object called "lg_tech_tube", but it is not defined anywhere in the LGEO files. Does anyone know what this object is and where to locate it?
