One detail bothers me: the curved rail part in the main model looks flying above the rail.
Otherwise, it's simply awesome. you made me feeling I definitely need one Xmas present more
Though Studio library is LDraw based, there are discrepancies: some parts that didn't exist in LDraw have been outsourced and added to library. This of course makes sense. The only problem is that some of them have origin/orientation which don't use LDraw conventions, or even use plain stupid ones, so when these parts are later added to LDraw library they are not compatible. See for example the new gearbox parts, as I reported here (but this message got no echo )
As I love Studio renderer, I looked for a way to get around this problem. I use a brute force method, which is to dump all unofficial parts in Studio custom parts folder, so that Studio can display them even if they are missing from it's base library, and ALSO to Studio unofficial folder, to overwrite the parts that are different from LDraw ones. Of course this breaks compatibility with Studio files, but I don't care...
The case of the curved fence is worse, because an outsourced file with stupid origin makes its way to Studio official parts folder!!! And I didn't noticed the wrong image...
I'll update the renders! Now re-rendered and updated.
