I've been gone from Eurobricks since the Christmas holidays and I have to say I'm very impressed with what y'all have been able to do with LDD!

Are we allowed to request parts? Or is it just wait and see?

Fixed 20460 and 20461

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sttng/LDD-New-Parts/master/Primitives/20461.xml

They missed correct values for faces and subMaterialRedirectLookupTable

35660 - LEGO Hair with Cap has a bug in the .g file. Typically .g files have the following mesh type: Standard mesh (Hex: 0x3A Dec: 58),  and then the additional g1, g2, g3, files may have a textured mesh type (Hex: 0x3B Dec: 59). Anyway in this case 35660.g has (wrongly) a mesh type of 0x3B and also texture coordinates. While LDD will not complain about this, this is not according to Legos 'internal' standards.

How it can have 5 decorations faces, if i put only 2 - bottom and top

Or you corrected the original parts?

Are you able to open G files? How?

@jester are you able to explain how to convert .g to a .obj file? I am trying but can't figure out how to convert from .lxfml to .3dxml. Is 3DVIA Printscreen required for that?

Good point ! I may be wrong here. Your 20460 comes with 2 parts (g, g1). The original 20460 comes with 5 parts (g, g1, g2, g3, g4). If I want to use yours should I delete all original g, g1, .., g4 files ?

In that case your original xml files was correct. Sorry my bad. I just overwrote the g and g1 file with yours, keeping Legos g2, g3 and g4.

I am using a hex editor to look at the raw data (0xED is the name of the editor). The .g file format is fairly well documented here: https://github.com/Polymaker/ldd-modder/blob/develop/Documentation/G (mesh) file structure.md

You can check lego's own .g and g1, g2, g2, gX files for comparison. The non-flex .g files always have a standard mesh (Hex: 0x3A Dec: 58) indicator according to my experience. The g1, g2, g3, ... files may have a Textured mesh (Hex: 0x3B Dec: 59) indicator (if they are able to be textured) and then also UV mapping info.

Updated the Dobby headpiece to better act as a regular headpiece.

Download found here.

Your Dobby headpiece features a stud connection on the top.

Thanks for the heads-up, just saw it for myself. That is a result of copying both the collision and connectivity figures of the normal minifig head headpiece. When I get a minute, I will go in and update it.

Ok, guys. Just rearranged collision and connectivity for the Dobby headpiece. It can be found on my Bricksafe as "43745 [5-26-20 Update]." Hope this clears up everything.

Hi,

you're doing a great job here and I love that also LDD users benefit from our collaborative effort over at LDraw.org.

However I wonder why the authorship and the history have been stripped from the converted parts and why this Derivative work is shipped with no License and Attribution as determined by the:

LDraw.org Parts Library Agreement

Kind regards,

I agree with this... if this is to move forward, all the added parts need to have authorship/history embedded in them. Are there places in the header that this info can be inserted in? On that topic, have the LDD developers ever credited LDRAW library for any of their parts? Where is that information found?

LDD was/is an official LEGO software.

Don’t think the g parts support that. I guess adding a txt file (per part ?) can be done. On the other hand „The LDraw Steering Committee (SteerCo) also holds an attribution to 'The LDraw Parts Library' in such Derivative Works to be sufficient in lieu of a full list of authors.“. 
So it seems that crediting the LDraw Parts Lib in general is ok too. 
How does stud.io do that ?
