SDCC033 Micro Scale Bag End [The Hobbit, 2013] LXF file Errors: - Missing print from 973pb1276c01 Torso LotR Jacket with Buttons, Olive Vest and Ascot Pattern - Missing print from 3626cpb818 Minifig, Head Dual Sided LotR Bilbo Brown Eyebrows, Calm / Scared Pattern [substituted] I've not posted in the LDD thread for a while, but couldn't resist a quick LDraw-to-LDD conversion of the same set I've already posted in the LDraw thread.

SDCC033 Micro Scale Bag End [The Hobbit, 2013] LDR file Errors: - Missing 1x 973pb1276c01 Torso LotR Jacket with Buttons, Olive Vest and Ascot Pattern [substituted] - Missing 1x 3626cpb818 Minifig, Head Dual Sided LotR Bilbo Brown Eyebrows, Calm / Scared Pattern [substituted] The build is based on the instructions that were posted here on Flickr. The waistcoat on Bilbo has been recoloured post-render to try and match his actual appearance, although the torso used is from Frodo, as is the head.

Thanks! Well, because of the way it's built in LDraw it really doesn't convert well via LDView, and an LGEO version was straightforward enough to put together. The geometry is based on the LDraw part, for which I suspect the inner height is not 100% accurate.

GUIDE UPDATE: I have updated the LGEO-Update.zip file in the Downloads section with 10 new parts. The NEW LGEO parts from the 2013-07-27 update Another small update to the LGEO library, this time consisting of only new parts, some of which have only recently been certified on the LDraw Parts Tracker. For instance, the round 2x2 tile is in fact a new part that was first shown here.

4892 Prehistoric Power (Model G) [Creator, 2006] MPD file The MPD file allows articulation on every joint. By opening the model in MLCad, the legs, head, tail, and even mouth, can be rotated with nearly-minimal fuss.

GUIDE UPDATE: I have updated the LGEO-Update.zip file in the Downloads section with 8 new parts, 1 updated part and 3 fixed parts. The FIXED, UPDATED and NEW LGEO parts from the 2013-06-28 update Another small update to the LGEO library, and with a few parts I was surprised were not already part of the original library. The light that you can see by the Bar 6L with Thick Stop is an "experimental" part, which is the LED from the Electric 2 x 3 x 1.333 Light Brick. When rendering a model with the Light Brick, it should automatically glow, based on the light emitted from the LED. As I said, it's more experimental than anything, so if you find it's not to your liking then you can simply remove the entry for 62503.dat from the LGEO.xml file (a plain text editor will allow you to edit this file). NOTE: I have made some changes to the colour file, which may be reliant on having POV-Ray 3.7 installed. Further information is included in the PDF that comes with the new/updated parts. EDIT: I have made a small update to the LGEO Update Pack, where the LED is now OFF by default. To turn it on when rendering, simply add the following line to your POV-Ray file: #declare LG_LIGHT_SWITCH = 1;

I've attached a modified version of lg_4624 to this post which might allow it to render to properly, as the Lego logo now won't render if the quality level is set to not show the logo elsewhere. I honestly hadn't thought about this before, but it might be what is causing the issue. It needs to go in your LDraw\LGEO\lg folder, along with the other LGEO files. This updated version will be added to the next LGEO update I do, and should make it to the LDraw All-in-One Installer too... lg_4624.zip

This is quite common throughout the LGEO library, so this can be ignored -- it won't cause any rendering problems. When you export a model from LDView to POV-Ray, on the export window click "Options..." and then make sure that "Include stud logos" shows under Quality. Then try rendering another model. Incidentally, does anyone else get this same issue when they render my updated version of wheel 4624 with the Lego logo? In other news, I've been playing about with light sources in the attempt to create a light brick that actually glows. Because it's against the LDraw agreement to use existing part code outside of LDraw, I've recreated the LED part in POV-Ray and got the below result. This way it converts the LDraw code when exporting from LDView, but uses a POV-Ray LED. The example is based on how the light bricks are positioned in 7347 Highway Pickup, with clear plates and slopes next to the light. The result is not perfect -- but not terrible!

5591 Mach II Red Bird Rig (Model A) [Model Team, 1994] MPD file Errors: - Missing string - Missing stickers
-
I've run a test render with part 4624 and don't get any errors at all, and instead get the wheel as shown below. I've included the POV-Ray file, if you can try rendering that and see what you get. My only thought could be that something has not been installed properly as part of the LGEO setup, as the "lego_logo_text" definition is part of the Lutz Uhlmann's original LGEO librray, and should render correctly on all parts.
