LDraw Tools

Unofficial parts and tools for modeling in LDraw and POV-Ray.

Download Datsville Lite: I used LDBoxer to replace Datsville's bricks with boxes (in *.LDR format), thereby speeding up the rendering process. This is only useful as a "sketch" of Datsville, due to the inferior quality of the parts.
Download LDBoxer Boxes: This is an extended library of boxes (in *.LDR format) to be used with LDBoxer. LDBoxer is a utility that replaces the bricks in a model with simplified shapes. Boxes lack many of the details, including studs, that make a scene visually rich, but also make rendering a slow process. A text search-and-replace tool can be used instead of LDBoxer.

POV-Ray Road Macros: My POV-Ray macros for creating LDraw-style roads.
Download LDraw Grids & Axes: This is an assortment of axes and grids (in *.LDR format) that I have modified from ones I obtained elsewhere. Use them to orient models within the coordinate system.
Download POV-Ray Materials Include: This include file collects all of the LDraw materials data in a seperate file so that you don't have to store several local copies.
Download POV2LDR: This is a command-line tool meant to "extract" MPD files from POV files generated using L3P by Lars C. Hassing. It works with files created by both version 1.3 and 1.4 of L3P.
