Naming of Subsets

Darkstone

I think we need a naming convention for subsets.
For example see: http://brickowl.com/search/catalog?query=7958
The sets are all named with "Star Wars Advent Calendar Set 7958 Subset", except one which is called "Star Wars Advent Calendar Day 22 - A-Wing Fighter Set 7958 Subset".

I plan to create all subset pictures as a 3D-Rendering with LDD and POVRay (Example: http://brickowl.com/catalog/lego-star-wars-advent-calendar-set-7958-subset-912276) , but need to know the matching names if no picture is available.

It would be helpful, if I could name all subsets before submitting the pictures.
What would be the best way of naming them?

My idea: "Star Wars Advent Calender 2011 Set 7958 - Subset Day 22 A-Wing Fighter"

I have been playing with POV-Ray myself. Small thing in the long run, I think the pics would look better without the shadows.

Other than that personal remark, great work! Thanks.

Are you using the LDD to POV-Ray converter?

I haven't yet finalised the code for the naming of subsets, I will do though.

Thank You!
Yes, I'm using the converter.
The first pics I made had 3 light sources. Today I will reduce it to one. Maybe it looks better then.

I've updated the catalogue edit form for subsets and sorted out the name formatting. You can see an example here http://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-star-wars-advent-calendar-set-7958-subset-day-22-a-wing-fighter

In the name field, you just enter the name of the subset, and nothing else. It will automatically get stuck onto the name of the set. I can then change the formatting and layout of the name at a later point if I wish.

If you did not know, you can turn the shadows off manually while keeping all the light sources. I have found this to be the easiest way to get all parts lit well without loosing detail anywhere. A bit cleaner look for parts or tiny sets I think.
