I need to recreate each part because of three reasons:
1. Performance - these parts have a much lower polygon count which is needed for a steady framerate (all the shading and lighting performs different than all the LDraw software).
2. Contours - without contours you couldn't recognize which brick goes where when there are two next to each other.
3. The engine - there is no good possibility to generate a mesh at runtime from external files. I could write a dat to fbx converter but I doubt it'll turn out well as the mesh export functions from LDView and LeoCAD don't work that welll either (flipped normals).
