Retiring Bitsticker - Jim DeVona - 2012-08-22

In the interest of leaving some public record of its lifespan, I thought I'd post a note here to mention that I've retired Bitsticker, an image-to-LDraw-sticker CGI script I wrote a few years ago. Although it was capable of some clever tricks, it was never intended as (or, to my knowledge, used as) a serious part authoring tool. Plus, it proved tedious to maintain as my web site and hosting service changed.

Anyway, here is a gallery of example images, including an "art gallery" with paintings rendered as actual LDraw elements:

(I have not been following the progress of the LDraw texture standard closely, but my guess is that it will soon facilitate similar appearances anyway.)
