Dune models for MLCAD

[SpiceGuid]

These are Dune lego models.

Here is the tool to view and edit lego models:

First, you need to install the LDRAW parts library:

http://www.peeron.com/ldraw/complete.exe

Second, you need to install a lego modeller:

http://www.lm-software.com/mlcad/

Third, an OPENGL viewer is better but only optional:

The total size is around a 5Mb download.

And now the Dune lego units.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

I'm getting a lot of errors. When I browse through the pieces, I get file not found errors. I get a lot of errors with the viewer as well. And how do I get the DUne pieces to work?

[SpiceGuid]

I apologize i was not correct at first, seems like this "complete.exe" is not as complete as its name suggests.

This should fix the "file not found" errors:

1. delete the LDraw directory

2. install this file: (do not pay attention to LDraw program)

http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/a489e0a7/bc/Public/Ldraw/ldraw027.exe?BC6byo.AmkaUGDEb

3. reinstall complete.exe

Then the dune*.dat files can be loaded in MLCAD via "File/Open..." menu.

And you can browse building instructions by clicking the "View mode" button.

Cool! Where can I get more pieces? I noticed there are Star Wars torsos (i.e. Boba Fett, Tusken Raider, Stormtrooper), but no Star Wars heads/helmets.

Also, it it possible to make a ghost? There is a ghost option, but it just makes the pieces invisible.

You have only official parts.

Put unofficial parts in the "models" directory otherwise you mess your official "parts" directory.

Unofficial parts are here:

http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/

They include the Darth Vader Helmet and most (but not all) Star Wars parts.

To make a ghost just click "more" button and use trans-white color (Color Number=47).

The ghost effect will be really cheap in MLCad itself but you get a nice ghost effect with LDView and POV.

[Vanguard3000]

No, there is a ghost piece. I guess it would be a hat, because it connects to the head, but it covers the whole body of the little guy. The real piece glows in the dark.

I got the unofficial parts, but I couldn't find any DV helmet. Also, I'm still noticing a lot of pieces missing. I'll try and search the 'net for more pieces, because I'm hoping to find those big diver helmets.

[SpiceGuid]

Ok, you do not mean ghost color effect but the castle "glow in the dark" ghost part to be put on a whole dark head.

I have one of them, but i can assure you the ldraw part do not currently exist. :(

This line:

http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?q=helmet

should list all existing helmets.

I am pretty sure you won't find all you want:

* there is no stormtrooper helmet

* most castle helmets are missing

Also visit:

and be frustrated because Darth Vader Helmet exists, just I don't have it and all links to it are currently broken. Also I have the requested UserID and password but still not work >:(. At least you can see how cool it is! :D
