"Any fan of LEGO kits will want to make sure they get their own copy of this super new book"
Product Description
Virtual LEGO introduces you to a suite of
software that allows you to create and document computer- generated LEGO models. Written by maintainers of LDraw.org, the official hub of LDraw-based LEGO model-building software, the book includes coverage of popular tools such as LDraw, POV-Ray, MLCAD, L3P, 3PAO, and LPub. You'll learn how to use these
software packages to build you own creations, make 3D scenes, and create building instructions. The CD-ROM contains all the
software readers need to get started, all available LEGO parts models, templates for building instruction layouts, a collection of custom models by LEGO builders worldwide, and a gallery of gorgeously rendered scenes created using the advanced techniques in the book's POV-Ray chapters.
Reader ReviewsAfter having been able to review the content during it's creation, I was totally impressed. In fact, I picked up a great number of techniques that I didn't already know...even though I thought I was pretty advanced. Good work to all the authors!
