History with LDraw
Kevin started using LDraw in 1998 when the first Mindstorms sets were introduced. He was contacted by a publisher that wanted to publish LEGO books. It was decided that LDraw, L3P and POV-Ray would be used to create the instructions. Kevin wrote a perl script to automate much of the image generation process. Later he converted this to a rudimentary C++ GUI program - today known as LPub. He is currently working on version 4, a complete tool for laying out building instructions.
Kevin was a charter member of both the LDraw.org Standards Committee, and the LDraw.org Steering Committee. Kevin has co-authored four books on the topic of LEGO, three are building instructions books, and the fourth is the first book dedicated to the LDraw family of tools, LEGO Software Power Tools.
