Discussion - proposal to extend !TEXMAP specification

[Roland Melkert]

Also, with any such extension to me a problem of backwards compatibility begins to look worse with each time. Realistically, this would only enlarge the number of parts that would be effectively unsupported with each such change. Unless the change is going to introduce big improvements to either part making or ease of implementation (which I don't really see this proposal really doing either of the two), I'm not gonna be very supportive of it

This is why I think using LDraw code to generate a texture might be the best of both worlds. 

Any program should already support LDraw commands and could therefore easily render its output into a texture.
