New !COLOUR finish - Travis Cobbs - 2025-02-23
It has been requested that we set up a new !COLOUR MATERIAL to deal with fabric materials:
https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-28335.html
In my opinion, this would probably be better as a new finish, instead of adding MATERIAL FABRIC <blah blah blah>. There are a number of different fabric materials, and I feel that each should be supported. At the minimum, we have:
- Standard minifigure capes
- Qui-Gon Poncho
- Buildable Boba Fett cloth pauldron (Is this the same material as the poncho above?)
- String (are there multiple types of LEGO string?)
- Sails (same material as minifigure capes?)
- Tepee/covered wagon
The other thread (that anyone can post to) died off, so it doesn't seem like anybody other than Willy wants to provide input, so I am proposing to add FABRIC as a new !COLOUR finish, with a required type being one of the following values:
- CAPE
- VELVET
- CANVAS
- STRING
Example for buildable Darth Vader's cape:
Code:
0 !COLOUR Black_Velvet CODE 999 VALUE #0A0A0A EDGE #808080 FABRIC VELVET
