Thread: 973pr2538c01 Emmet's torso from the Lego Movie
Post: Re: 973pr2538c01 Emmet's torso from the Lego Movie
Here's the hair piece converted from LDD. It's missing a lot of lines, but is otherwise usable. |

This will work for most parts but there are lots of parts that have sharp edges under low angles (e.g. the low angle slopes)

Thread: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
Post: Re: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
Blender is very good at this kind of stuff :). The importer calculates the normals (by calling a Blender function), then it adds a so called modifier, that changes the normals based on the angle of ne... |

That is absolutely understandable. So our supply does not match your demand.

I noticed that. That's why I made my own conversion.

Thanks! I'm curious if there's anything in there, that LDD hasn't. |

Post: Re: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
I just converted about 1200 files from LDD. They're not perfect, but they suit my needs just fine.

Thread: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
Post: Re: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
Downloading parts one file at a time isn't exactly convenient. And even a cursory look shows, that you're missing lots of parts.

Thread: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
Post: Re: LDD2LDraw - a working LDD mesh converter
With the rather sparse interest in my converter, I have decided to forgo a release for the time being. (It's quite some work to create a release.)
Instead I'm going to convert all the LDD parts, that... |
