Ape Fight Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Well that's the bar re-set! I think this is the first time I've ever felt compelled to start a topic about someone's MOC. More pictures here: http://thelegocarblo...icture-special/ Incredible stuff. Edited July 25, 2014 by Jim Removed center Quote
Boulderer Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) That is stunning! I'd love to see his workshop and his stock of pieces Edited July 25, 2014 by Boulderer Quote
Jim Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I'd love to see his workshop and his stock of pieces I assume there won't be much left This is an incredible model. I would like to know whether he uses software to convert a 3D model into a LEGO model before building. Quote

I would like to know whether he uses software to convert a 3D model into a LEGO model before building. I'd take a guess that even his leftovers would amount to more than most of us can claim to own As to the software, are there packages out there that will do that kind of conversion? I can imagine something could "pixelate" a 3D model, which would be a good start to getting the scaling and stud counts pretty accurate. I'm not familiar with a package that actually does this though. Quote

I'm not familiar with a package that actually does this though. I guess there are many. It's basically the simplest form of "voxelization" (There's an algorithm for that called "marching cube"), I guess there are plugins for LDraw (like 2D mosaics) The model itself is awesome and all, but I honestly don't get the hype around this model. A Lego car that can't even roll? A Lego car that uses bricks in the age of sloped and smooth parts? And The Lego Car Blog says it's the most awesome Lego car ever? There's simply nothing Lego in this model. I'm speechless. Edited July 25, 2014 by Lipko Quote

Rishab N Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Oh wow that is impressive! I'm amazed at how he got the lines and curves with older bricks Quote

To those outside of the AFOL community this car is what LEGO is all about. The general population don't think of Power Functions, SNOT etc when thinking of Lego. They think of little cuboids stacked on top of one another, and this car does that better than anything I've ever seen : ) Edited July 25, 2014 by Ape Fight Quote
Tommy Styrvoky Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) looks cool, probably not the most comfortable ride though , just combine that body with this engine and chassis and you would have a real car. Edited July 25, 2014 by Tommy Styrvoky Quote
