Old tutorials - Michael Horvath - 2015-02-03 I wrote a few articles for the old ldraw.org website. http://www.ldraw.org/Article529.html <b>LDraw to SimCity 3000 Unlimited Tutorial:</b> A tutorial describing how to import LDraw models into <i>SimCity 3000 Unlimited</i>. http://www.ldraw.org/Article528.html <b>Polarized Glasses Tutorial:</b> A tutorial describing how to render LDraw models (and other POV-Ray scenes) so that they can be viewed in 3D using <a target="_blank" href="http://www.chromatek.com/">Chromatek</a> polarized glasses. http://www.ldraw.org/Article545.html <b>Cleaning LDraw Models for Export:</b> A tutorial describing why it is hard to clean LDraw models for export to other formats and applications. Does anyone have backups so I can rewrite them for the wiki? Thanks. Re: Old tutorials - Orion Pobursky - 2015-02-03 Yes. I do but it'll take a little bit for me to dig them up since they're stored in a database backup. Re: Old tutorials - Michael Horvath - 2015-02-03 There should be images/illustrations as well as the text. Re: Old tutorials - Orion Pobursky - 2015-02-03 Those are probably still on the server since I just copied everything from our old image gallery. Even if they aren't there's a pretty good chance that they're on my local machine somewhere. I hardly ever delete anything that's ldraw.org website related. Re: Old tutorials - Stephen - 2015-02-03 Well, if Orion doesn't find them, you can always salvage what you need from the wayback machine. http://wayback.archive.org/web/20120203062342/http://www.ldraw.org/Article529.html http://wayback.archive.org/web/20120203063800/http://www.ldraw.org/Article528.html http://wayback.archive.org/web/20120203063805/http://www.ldraw.org/Article545.html Re: Old tutorials - Orion Pobursky - 2015-02-03 That works too Re: Old tutorials - Michael Horvath - 2015-02-04 Should I re-upload the images to the wiki, or just link to the existing image gallery? Also, I just requested an account on the wiki. Hopefully I will get approved soon. Re: Old tutorials - Orion Pobursky - 2015-02-04 The wiki and the main site are on different physical servers so I'd upload them to the wiki. Your account has been approved as well. Re: Old tutorials - Michael Horvath - 2015-02-04 OK thanks. Re: Old tutorials - Michael Horvath - 2015-02-04 I uploaded some images, but they don't appear in the article. Not sure what is going on. For example: http://wiki.ldraw.org/index.php?title=LDraw_to_SimCity_3000_Unlimited_Tutorial Re: Old tutorials - Orion Pobursky - 2015-02-04 I'm not sure what's up. I'll look into it. |
