About the Book

Lego freeware applications are an important aspect of the Lego community. Until now these tools, which are created to assist Lego fans in their building adventures, have been difficult to find, and even more difficult to configure to work with one another. Here, in one book, readers will find steps for installing and using some of the most popular and successful Lego freeware applications, as well as a CD that contains all of the applications in one simple-to-install program that will let users have them all up and running on their computer in a matter of minutes. LDraw is the standard tool in Lego CAD, with over 2000 types of virtual Lego parts in its parts library. MLCad allows users to see a graphical representation of virtual Lego models. It can be used to create any Lego model, regardless of how small or large. LSynth can create and incorporate detailed flexile parts into virtual Lego models, including chains, hoses, and more. POV-Ray is a sophisticated program that simulates lighting environments in images, allowing users to create amazing effects with finished images. L3P converts standard LDraw files into a format that POV-Ray can use and LPub allows readers to create professional-quality building instructions for their custom LEGO models.

Table of Contents:
A Lego CAD System; Installation; LDraw - A Virtual LEGO System; MLCad 101; Modelling with MLCad; MLCad's Output; LSynth - A Bendable-Part Synthesizer; L3P and POV-Ray; LPub; Going Beyond - Lego Resources; AT-ST Building Instructions.
