Lego Models (LDraw) Loaded from Java

I wrote this in 2007 if I remember correctly. I had just discovered MLCad and LDraw:

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

I started to recreate many of the Lego models of my childhood. I didn't had that much Legos when I was a kid, but I found a web site with the instructions to build many models and one model led to other, and then to another... I build the models as a hobby for some time. One day I started to think how great would it be to able to read the ldraw format and visualize on a Java program of my own. I studied a bit the ldraw format and this was the result. I plan some day to do something nice with it, I don't know, an adventure / arcade game, or an application to articulate and animate the models using keystrokes.

The video contains some of the models I created with the Lego cad tools, loaded and visualized by my software.

Source code, by the way can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/foo-org-ve/

It's in the Lego folder / project

In 2012 I wrote a tutorial on how to set up and run the code. The tutorial can be found here:

***UPDATE***

Kevin Loddewykx has contributed a great update to the project. I'll let his changelog speak for itself:

// ----------------------------------------
Update for project "Lego"
1) Uses the most recent version of jogl + gleugen and log4j 1.2
2) Uses the most recent version of ldraw parts library and ldconfig.ldr

ENHANCEMENTS :
3) Camera rotates now instead of the object
4) Model can be given through the command line
5) Pressing R will now change the model when it is changed in the code, when you are real-time debugging

BUG FIXES :
6) Transparency has been updated, so transparent objects always will be rendered last
7) Previous when more then one model was uncommented, it's was possible that models would get mixed up.

MISC :
8) Extra model added train.ldr :)
