  1. Hi folks, has anyone investigated what font was used for the old Technic logo: http://logos.wikia.com/wiki/Lego_Technic Unfortunately sites such as https://www.whatfontis.com/ didn't come up with a suitable result. Knowing the font type would help enormously converting the logo into a LDraw pattern. Thanks, Willy LDraw Content Manager
  2. Did you selected MLCad in the AIOI to be installed. From 2015-02 on MLCad no longer gets installed by default. w.
  3. Just submitted 4 of these to the LDraw Parts Tracker for certification: http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/973p8j.dat http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/973p8k.dat http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3068bp8b.dat http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/87079p07.dat Could you be a bit more specific about the minifigs. w.

  5. Hi, this is just to let you know that Remi, the author of LIC, would be pleased to hand this over to someone else: http://forums.ldraw.org/read.php?22,13866,13871#msg-13871 Bye, w. (LDraw Content Manager)
  6. http://forums.ldraw.org/read.php?11,13963,13972#msg-13972 A workaround is using a seperate .ldr for every hose and combine them in a .mpd at the very end. w.

  8. Source LDarw.org: http://www.ldraw.org...fringement.html **************************************************************************************************************************************** LDraw.org, a system of free software tools for modeling Lego creations in 3D on a computer, is preparing to file a lawsuit against Bricklink Limited, for copyright violation. BrickLink.com is a venue for individuals and businesses from all around the world to buy and sell new, used and vintage LEGO. LDraw.org is furthermore sueing for trademark infringement, unfair trade practices and more, seeking damages for willful infringement. LDraw.org, known for its parts library of over 5000 virtual representations of LEGO bricks, which is under continuous maintenance and extension by the LDraw community since 1997, might have decided not to file a legal objection to the use of images rendered from its library in the year 2000 when Bricklink started business, but the organization isn't ready to simply roll over on the intellectual property front, either. The LDraw Steering Committee (SteerCo) decided to take legal action after Bricklink Limited rolled out new Terms of Service in September 2013. Bricklink appears to also be claiming the exclusive rights to the common naming system for LEGO pieces, through threatening legal action to competitors claiming: "you are using our unique numbering and naming systems for the LEGO pieces". "It is evident that the online community of LEGO fans supplied much of the data and images and continue to do so to this day and that in the early days of Bricklink many names, numbering systems and even images came from co-existing sites such as LUGNET, Peeron or in our case LDraw" said Willy Tschager, member of the LDraw Steering Committee. The committee set up policies on third parties capitalising on the considerable volunteer time, effort, and ingenuity represented by the part library and the LDraw System, which give the users almost total freedom in the usage of rendered images. "One thing is making cash with the efforts of others, but claiming it is yours is a total different story and we are going to demand to delete their image and text contributions to the database which have been drawn from LDraw", Tschager said. In addition the LDraw Steering Committee is looking out for angel investors to back the lawsuit financially. Donation can be made to Peeron.com as hosts of LDraw.org (a Paypal Donation Button can be found in the top right-hand corner of LDraw's homepage). However paying tribute to the fact that LDraw.org is a completely volunteer organization the SteerCo prefers workmanship contribution, such as part authoring, parts reviewing, writing programs or tutorials over financial return.
  9. Hi, a beta where POVRay 3.6 has been substituted with 3.7 can be found here: http://www.holly-woo...up_32bit_v2.zip I would appreciate if you could do some testing before I replace version 1 at LDraw.org. w. LEGO ergo sum
  10. Hi folks, in this new tutorial: Advanced digital building with MLCad, you'll hopefully find answers to everything you always wanted to know about Buffer-Exchange and MPD - Multipart Documents (but were afraid to ask). The tutorial will teach you advanced techniques to build digital models in MLCad. Furthermore it will show you tips and tricks and help with troubleshooting problems you might encounter. The tutorial is based on MLCad 3.4. A special thank you goes to all those people at LDraw.org who helped out proof-reading and giving advice. w.
  11. Reading trough your comments I'd like to say it's not about the question if female torsos would add something to a set/layout and if we really need them (who needed 1x1 cheese slopes before they were marketed). You cannot see any benefit, no problem, don't vote for it. It might have reached the 10000 or not - who knows. If it would have gone into review LEGO still would have had all the chances to say NO: not doable, to complicated, not what we are looking for, not on target. Instead they blocked right from the start with more than questionable reasoning - when looking at their own products. It's the way they reacted that disturbs me. w.
  12. Well, compared to the 2013 mermaid you could call my girls fully dressed. If this is true the team doesn't read its own guidelines: "You will receive credit and compensation for your original ideas. We recognize three types of ideas, as follows: Original Part Ideas. You will receive a one-time flat fee as remuneration for a part idea that is produced, to be determined by the LEGO Group." and none of these parts would be allowed at Cuusoo. w.
  13. Hi, will there ever be female minifigs worth this name? Highly unlikely! Read here what happend to the 3D Female Minifigs project I tried submitting to LEGO CUUSOO. By, w.
