___ Posted May 14, 2014 I was searching forum for MOC but no results appeared, so my question is: is here some post dealing just with MOC models that I was unable to find or can I start my own later around it...or is it somewhat prohibited maybe and therefor no MOC topics?

Calabar Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) As reported in the Section Rules, you can find MOCs in proper Theme section. In this section there is a MOC Index topic that gather MOCs related to the digital section (and share the CAD file). Edited May 14, 2014 by Calabar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, thanx for the answer, but how it comes that searches in forum did not show me that MOC topic??? :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calabar Posted May 15, 2014 Good question. Maybe because the word "MOC" is only 3 characters long and often search engines ignore short words in the search? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

___ Posted May 15, 2014 Good question. Maybe because the word "MOC" is only 3 characters long and often search engines ignore short words in the search? And dear God why shouldn't be 3 letters enough for search? Two letters is really not enough, but three? Eh...actually I am webdesigner and can tell you it is such a nonsense...I mean the script itself, not this forum...BTW it can be very easily changed ;) yes, exactly...thanx for the link This one? Yes, something like that...thanx for the link. But I mean more something like forums where you can post your creation RENDERS, not that uglyness of LDD "make image"...is there something like that here?

Eh...actually I am webdesigner and can tell you it is such a nonsense...I mean the script itself, not this forum...BTW it can be very easily changed ;) It is quite common. Many articles and prepositions stays in 3 characters. Besides it helps to lighten the load on the server (the massive use of the search engine can be a problem for many websites). It was an hypothesis, anyway. yes, exactly...thanx for the link It is the indexed topic I spoke you before. You can find main topic of this section looking at the Sectin Index (one of the pinned topics). But I mean more something like forums where you can post your creation RENDERS, not that uglyness of LDD "make image"...is there something like that here? I fear the answer is no. The MOC Index topic is a way to gather MOCs made with digital software where the CAD file is shared. That means that the important thing is the file containing the model, not the image. Obviously, if you want, you can show your MOCs with an hight quality render instead than a standard screenshot, but this is not the aim of that topic. If you think there is the need of a different kind of MOC topic, I suggest you to discuss about that with the staff. Maybe they decide that it is a good idea and let you to create and manage an indexed topic for that. Edited May 15, 2014 by Calabar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I mean: I can post my .lxd file but the screen shot would be render instead of that foto from LDD If you think there is the need of a different kind of MOC topic, I suggest you to discuss about that with the staff. Maybe they decide that it is a good idea and let you to create and manage an indexed topic for that. Oh that would be absolutely perfect but I'm afraid that level of my english is maybe not enough to be moderator in case the staffers would agree to make such topic... Also I though about something like, hmm, how to say it in english? Well, something like virtual pseudo neo-LEGO sets (like possible pesudo sets if it is not in any conflict with some principles of this forum?) from MOC's that only some more skilled admins/staffers would decide under some given criterias which ones would come tru final pesudorelease...gee, english is not my native language so please excuse me as I have some hard times to explain what I mean exactly, hope you understand me enough to be able react on my post... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calabar Posted May 15, 2014 Oh that would be absolutely perfect but I'm afraid that level of my english is maybe not enough to be moderator in case the staffers would agree to make such topic... You don't need to be a moderator You simply have to gather MOCs from the respective sections and update the index. Maybe you will need to ask users to respect some rule when they will post in the topic. Nothing that requires to be more than a common user! english is not my native language so please excuse me [...] Don't worry about that... my English is terrible too!

___ Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Don't worry about that... my English is terrible too! (and probably our communication difficulties are not due only to you!) Hahaha, OK then Also to be even more specific: my main if not the only interest would be in SPACE sets that would need to have some degree of mature in it, like no childesly joined bricks saying this is candidate for your pseudo virtual neospace LEGO set context...as I say there would need to be some small group of "older" stuffers that would decide about the potential set (in sense of building skills of THEIR OWN DESIGNS, like not models of some existing real stuff as I saw so many times all around cos anyone can reproduce something that already exists, but instead their own cosmic creations...we would set something like max number of bricks that can be used, actual type of bricks to be used, maybe even colors, hope you understand me, actually something like real internal LEGO process team but just not theirs but rather ours, hahaha) So what do you think about such idea? ;) My intension is to give people just virtual feeling of being in the game of creating potential LEGO set in a semiprofessional way almost like in LTG although it would be only pseudo and virtual and only here on eurobricks.com,of course...so nothing to do with real LTG at all (just for clarification) P.S.: I already gone so far as to have ready our numbering syntax...really, in respect for classic space sets like this (example): #691402 ...that would mean: 69 - just reference to classic space as paying great respect to it ;) 14 -last to digits of the year when we "released" it 02 - actual index number of set release in a concrete year (previous two digits) ...looks pretty logical to me, any thoughts are welcome! P.S.: and in fact I am already for a quite long time signing my MOCs like that anyway... Edited May 15, 2014 by bublible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
