New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-04-28
Hi all,
As suggested in the Eurobricks forum thread I decided to share my personnal LGEO library.
Last Version:
- LGEO Library - Darats - 2019/07/03
- LGEO.xml - Darats - 2019/07/03
My library is a bit different from the original LGEO one:
I have usually 2 files per part :
- lg_xxxx.inc (LGEO file containing Patterns and Studs)
- xxxx.inc (High quality STL file converted into PovRay format)
While waiting for a better solution, you will need to add :
#declare L3LDrawToLgeo = transform { matrix <0,-LG_BRICK_WIDTH/20,0, 0,0,-LG_BRICK_HEIGHT/24, -LG_BRICK_WIDTH/20,0,0, 0,0,4*LG_BRICK_HEIGHT/24> }
#declare L3LgeoToLDraw = transform { matrix <0,0,-20/LG_BRICK_WIDTH, -20/LG_BRICK_WIDTH,0,0, 0,-24/LG_BRICK_HEIGHT,0, 0,0,0> }
at the end of your lg_defs.inc file (just above the very last "}") or use my own lg_defs.inc provided in the package (but it might conflict with Owen's one on some parts).
You may want to put the lg_xxxx.inc files in your usual LGEO directory and the xxxx.inc files in another folder (don't forget to declare it in PovRay or it will not find the requested files)
There is a high probability that some Parts already exist in the Official LGEO library or other users-made ones. Be aware of it if you overwrite some file.
You need to put LGEO.xml in your Ldview install directory (be aware that you will overwrite your own file that might have parts that mine doesn't have).
Be carful: this xml file might give errors until I fully release all the parts that are in it (should be a matter of a few weeks).
When colors are needed (for Patterns for instance) it uses Ldview exported material format (LDXColorx).
My package doesn't contains lg_color.inc, but it must be accessible by PovRay.
I'm sharing all my xxxx.inc files, but as I'm currently cleaning the lg_xxxx.inc files, I will make regular release of them (so during that time, there will be xxxx.inc files without lg_xxxx.inc files (so not usable) but I will do my best to release everything fast).
The unpacked archive will be more than 1.5 Gb because of the high quality STL files, don't be feared of that, but make sure that you have enough hard drive space for it.
Do not hesitate to test it, ask questions and give me feedback here, it works on my system but I don't know if it will in others.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Willy Tschager - 2015-04-28
Is the lgeo.xml based on Owen's version? May I mix the original library, Owen's updates and yours together. May I use them for the AIOI?

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-04-28
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.

Just FYI, none of your Dropbox picture links work, either here or on EuroBricks. It seems like perhaps they're not public URLs.

I have the problem on my ipad, but they do work on my PC, need to investigate....
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-04-29
OK I've fixed it.
I will use Brickshelf for the pictures as Dropbox is not satisfying me for that kind of image hosting.

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-04-29
Can someone give a try with it? Especially with part 2340 (make sure to redownload the Package as it now contains a mendatory lg_defs.inc file). Don't do this, it will mess with Owen lg_defs.inc file.
I will need to contact him to see if we can harmonize everything.
As a workaround, you can get rid of the L3LgeoToLDraw errors by adding this at the end of your lg_defs.inc file (just above the #end statement at the end of the file).
#declare L3LDrawToLgeo = transform { matrix <0,-LG_BRICK_WIDTH/20,0, 0,0,-LG_BRICK_HEIGHT/24, -LG_BRICK_WIDTH/20,0,0, 0,0,4*LG_BRICK_HEIGHT/24> }
#declare L3LgeoToLDraw = transform { matrix <0,0,-20/LG_BRICK_WIDTH, -20/LG_BRICK_WIDTH,0,0, 0,-24/LG_BRICK_HEIGHT,0, 0,0,0> }
Someone has a problem with Ldview using properly my LGEO.xml file on the Eurobricks forum and I can't figure out why.
Thanks a lot.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Travis Cobbs - 2015-04-30
I've been happily using imgur for quite some time now. No registration needed, and you can link directly to the images (no need to link to a web page). Just go to the site, click upload, drag and drop as many images as you want into the box, and then copy the links.

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

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-05-01
Travis, may I have a request:
Could you try to download my LGEO.xml file (link in the first post) and try to export a ldr file containing part 2340 from ldview to pov ray? Just to make sure the Pov output of Ldview works with my xml file and substitute 2340 by its LGEO equivalent.
I would really appreciate as there is someone in Eurobricks forum that have problem using my xml file and doesn't get any LGEO replacement. I can't figure out why.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Travis Cobbs - 2015-05-01
It seems to work, but I am using LDView 4.2 Beta 1. It's possible there was a bug in LDView 4.1 that makes it not like something about your LGEO.xml file.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Roland Dahl - 2015-05-02
Hi, „someone in Eurobricks forum“ that’s me.
For getting ahead I completely removed LDraw and made a new installation using the all-in-one-installer (LDview 4.1). Then I installed LDview 4.2 beta 1 (Windows ) into the same folder, so that LDview 4.1 was overwritten. But the problem still remained: When I switch to Darats lgeo.xml file there is no LGEO access anymore. Even for standard parts like #3008 (Brick 1x8) the resulting povray file contains no code like “#include "lg_3008.inc". Switching back to the default xml-file everything works fine again.
Any further idea what I may optimize? Thanks.
Solved it! Darats LGEO.xml works fine!

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-05-04
Hello Damien,
I'm a long time admirer of your incredible renders and I'm so grateful you decided to share your library of Hires parts.
There's some feedback from what you've released so far.
First of all, your parts are really great and I managed to include them in my library quite easily.
These are the few errors I encountered while rendering each of them:
Regarding
-122c01 - Plate 2 x 2 with Red Wheels
-122c02 - Plate 2 x 2 with White Wheels
For these, I had an undeclared material error on PovRay for LDXcolor383 in the 122c01/02 file.
After investigation, the Ldraw u9132c01/02.dat subfiles for these parts use color 494 for the axle, so when translated to Povray, 494 is declared, not 383.
Workaround 1: Edit the u9132c01/02 subfile in Ldraw and change color of the axle from 494 to 383.
Workaround 2: Edit the 122c01/02.inc file and change "LDXcolor383" material to "LDXcolor494"
Regarding
-556 - Fabuland Shovel
Not really an error here but it seems that your object is a bit longer than the Ldraw file.
Regarding
-2609a - Magnet Holder Tile 2 x 2 with Short Arms
The 2609a.inc file refers to 2609a in the STL library. The 2609a file is not present in the STL folder you released.
workaround: In the 2609a.inc file, I replaced the 2609a reference by 2609 , that is in the STL folder. It works fine now.
Regarding
-2683 - Monorail Motor Case
-2684c01 - Monorail Motor (Complete)
The 2683.inc requires the "studel.inc" subfile, not released yet in your LGEO parts. So not really an error but just a missing file.
Regarding
-973p66 - Minifig Torso with Spyrius Pattern
No reference for this LGEO part in the "LGEO.xml" file of yours.
I manually edited the LGEO.xml file to translate the part into Povray.
Except those minor issues, no problem encountered with the 186 other parts released so far.
Thanks again for sharing your extensive work on those parts.
Christophe
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-05-07
Thanks for that feedback, perfectely what I needed.
So:
122c01, 123c02 : I think I've changed the color cause I found le ldraw one was not metallick enough when rendered, I will change it back.
556: the shape was based on a very early ldraw part. Since it has been officially release I need to change the shape and make it better.
Studel: I will add it to the the package forgot that one.
973p66: if you redownload the xml file, you should have it.

My feedback on your last updates:
Previous issues fully adressed and corrected.
Regarding the last bunch of parts, no trouble on my system, every part installed flawessly and renders fine.
I have just one minor issue regarding part 3297p90: the classic space logo seems incomplete, somme clipping occurs in the bottom of the pattern.

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Gerhard - 2015-05-27
Do you mind sharing the STL files as well?
I don't render with POV and would like to import the bricks into Blender or Cinema 4D.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-05-27
Unfortunately, I only use STL format to go from native CATIA format to PovRay. I don't keep the STL files, only the CATIA ones.
I can give you a few parts if you want some, but I will not release them all. It's too much work.
Also I don't model studs and understuds so the parts won't even be complete in STL.
But I can fulfill a few requests if needed.
Maybe you can also write some code to convert Pov geometry to a Blender readable format or use some kind of utility.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Gerhard - 2015-05-28
According to the FAQ at povray.org converting POV to something else is not feasible/possible.
I'm working on an importer for Cinema 4D and don't want to create the meshes on the fly but rather import them from an external library to use also meshes with higher resolution.
I would appreciate to get some samples from you to test the import.
Just some basic bricks and perhaps some more sophisticated ones would be great.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-05-28
To update my feedback on your parts:
Every part released so far works fine. Just one minor issue easily corrected: no reference to part 4162p0l in the LGEO.xml file you provided.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-05-28
Thanks for feedback, I've corrected the LGEO.xml file.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-05-28
I've shared the 2998 part STL file : here. You can have a try.
I know PovRay scenes are quite impossible to convert in another format, but I'm pretty sure it can easily be done for my STL PovRay files. They are only made of smooth_triangles, nothing really complicated to convert to another mesh format, I think.

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Gerhard - 2015-05-29
You are right, I was't aware that PoseRay can convert also to OBJ.
I was able to batch convert 354 of your files back to OBJ and after some vertex optimization I got almost the same result like your provided reference STL.
Thanks a lot, they are of incredible quality.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-05-29
Great!
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-06-04
Hi Damien,
I'm still amazed on how detailed your parts are. If you don't mind, I have a couple of question regarding your library.
I see that you convert your parts from CATIA to Povray using STL2pov. I tried myself using the converter a few years ago after designing my own hires parts with Solidworks. Although I had no issues when converting to simple triangles, the conversion to smooth triangles always messed up the result giving misoriented polygons. Curiously the result was part triangles and part smooth triangles.
How do you process your parts prior to conversion to have only smooth triangles ?
Regarding your printed parts, I'm curious about the way you convert flat 2D patterns to 3D objects. Is it automated or do you process each pattern manually ?
Chris

Colors 494 vs 383 (was: New Parts for LGEO Library) - Steffen - 2015-06-06
Hello Damien and Christophe,
both colors 494 and 383 are valid LDRAW colors.
You should not replace one of these by the other.
Instead, both must be supported the same way like the other, simple ones like "black" (0) and so on.
- this just as a quick reply to the suggestion above to remove one of them - that's a Bad Idea ™
Steffen
Re: Colors 494 vs 383 (was: New Parts for LGEO Library) - Damien Roux - 2015-06-06
Yeah, I change it back on my parts, and it is now in line with ldraw parts
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-06-06
A quick feedback on the last bunch of parts:
Part #4740: lacks the addition of LGEO primitives "lg_tech_knob" and "lg_tech_knob_clear" in the 4740.inc file.
Part #4479: 4479.inc is 90° misoriented in the "y" plane (ldraw coodinates) regarding the ldraw library.
Everything else is OK.
Chris
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-06-06
4740 should have no probleme, I didn't use the primitives there and everything is included in the STL .inc file
4479, I will have a look.

I never had any problem exporting to smooth triangles, I can't really give you any hint on that, maybe Solidwork STL export is different from CATIA's one. I simply export to STL with CATIA default settings and run stl2pov with -s option on.
For the patterned parts, I export ldraw triangles to povray using the old L3PAdd-on program, then convert it to prism using a homemade VBA program, and then manually add them to the inc files. Then I manually add boxes, cylinders or what ever to improve the pattern and replace ldraw primitivé so let's say it is semi-automated.
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-06-07
Ok, the mistake was mine for the two parts. I forgot to update the STL folder for the last release and I see the folder have been updated for these very parts. All is fine with the new STL files.
Sorry for inconvenience.
Chris
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-06-07
Thanks for anwsering my questions.
For STL conversion, after deep investigation and a few tests, I think that maybe the problem is in STL2pov. I use version 2.5 of the software.
For testing purpose, I used it on the STL file for part 2998 you shared with Gerhart afew days ago. The converted .inc file is messed up like mines.
Looking at the files precisely, that's what I found. The flat triangles seem to be converted like yours, but the smoothed ones are different.
in your .inc part (converted with STL2pov 2.4.4):
triangle { // #670
<16, -48.2614, -1.51945>,
<16, -48.0893, -2.26346>,
<16, -54.537, -2.62187>
}
smooth_triangle { // #671
<16, -54.4251, -4.3668>, <-0.998433, 0.00455732, 0.0557737>,
<16, -54.537, -2.62187>, <-1, 0, 0>,
<16, -48.0893, -2.26346>, <-1, 0, 0>
}
in my conversion with STL2pov 2.5:
triangle { // #670
<16, -48.2614, -1.51945>,
<16, -48.0893, -2.26346>,
<16, -54.537, -2.62187>
}
smooth_triangle { // #671
<-54.4251, 16, -4.3668>, <0.00455732, -0.998433, 0.0557737>,
<-54.537, 16, -2.62187>, <0, -1, 0>,
<-48.0893, 16, -2.26346>, <0, -1, 0>
}
as you can see, in the smoothed triangle, plans X an Y are switched, causing a 90° rotation. All others are rotated also.
Unfortunately, I'm in a dead end as STL2pov 2.4.4 it's not available now.
Do you mind in sharing with me your version of STL2pov so I can fulfill my tests ?
Chris
Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Damien Roux - 2015-06-08

Re: New Parts for LGEO Library - Christophe Mitillo - 2015-06-09
