Rexworth Posted February 7, 2014 Just for fun. I had a few hours with nothing to do. So, I wanted to play around with LDD. With the LEGO movie coming up, "Maybe build a quick theater for fun?" I thought. First the screen: I put two 32x32 white base plate and a 16x32 white base plate and it looked like a screen. (Note: sizes in LDD can be tricky.) I looked up screen sizes: Standard screen 4x3 ratio 40x30 studs High Definition 16x9 ratio 48x27 studs Cinema Wide Screen 2.39 to 1 ratio ~72x30 studs 30 studs is easy to convert ratios than 32 so I blacked out non screen areas. White area of the screen is 72x30 studs. The screen looked good. Next played with chairs. Simple red chair has no cup holder. Make a blue chair with cup holder that can fit in a 4x4 area. Next how to step up the screen. (Note: this is where I found out how BIG it was!) Made side braces and a wall that I could quickly copy and paste. Screen can slide out top. It is BIG. the screen base is on THREE 16x32 black base plates. 16x96 and 35 bricks high. High means room for a balcony. Balcony means need stairs. Next the need for stairs. I build a stairs to copy and paste. And I don't like the blue floor for the stairs showing on a brown wall. (need a rebuild but I ran out of time.) Speakers, lights, balcony, bathrooms, ticket seller, popcorn vender, soda, candy, movie posters, projector... And that is not even the stage I was thinking up. I was thinking a modular stage. Removable screen, Orchestra pit, Back stage dressing rooms, lights, curtains... So many ideas and no time to build. Can't wait to see The LEGO Movie. hehehe.

Superkalle Posted February 8, 2014 I'm moving this into the (based on the minifig scale) correct theme here at EB. The DD forum is more for discussion around various digital tools and techniques, not so much about MOC:ing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rexworth Posted February 13, 2014 Thank you for moving post. Stairs re-construction: Two Problem A) Blue floors show on brown wall. and B) Door A) Floor can be fixed by making stair area wider. B) First Door v1 has 4 problems. 1) windows 2) limited color 3) direction open wrong. (Fire exit open out.) 4) too small for large crowd. (fire hazard) Second door v2 re-do, looks good BUT in real world it will bind and not open. Third door v3 re-do beveled edges, looks ok and can work in real world. Add doors to stairs and get.... Fire and security inspection. Wider doors now, smoke detector, camera, motion detector... Replace old stairs.. Next week: more stairs, maybe make a picture on the screen. Just having fun.

Rexworth Posted February 20, 2014 Massive and getting bigger. :P Benny 30x72 mozaic Chair v2 re-do: problem with first chair when it tilts back you spill your drink and popcorn. MORE stairs and balcony put them together and you get Stage test I knew the stage was too small. Need more depth on stage, dressing rooms, curtains, lights, modular orchestra pit.... Too many ideas and not enough time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
