Most wanted bricks for next LDD update

[Calabar]

And? Don't they want our money? I mean, if I ran a business and offered stuff for free and someone suggested to give me money for it, I guess I knew what to do. So what hinders TLG to offer a LDD Premium?

I think the situation is not so simple.

A paid version requires a certain organization of the business structure, requires that the developers respect certain deadlines, could make feel standard LDD users as "discriminate", as it was born as a accessory, not as a product itself. My idea is that TLG, after the closing of the Universe and the Design by Me projects, has leaved LDD as a Fan's present, but don't intend to invest great resources on it.

My idea is that TLG, after the closing of the Universe and the Design by Me projects, has leaved LDD as a Fan's present, but don't intend to invest great resources on it.

I'm really uncertain how to feel about this. On the one hand I'm glad that LDD is still alive, at least to some extend, and I feel happy that I can enjoy LDD at all; but on the other hand I'm sort of impatient and await each and every update eagerly, as I really miss some of the older parts and decorations LDD currently lacks of. I accept however that there is still much work to do to get a sellable fullprice product meeting TLGs qualitiy standards: In addition to adding all the missing bricks, one might think of a real physics engine with gravity, rag doll effects and stuff like this, working chains, elastic rubber bands, rotating axels, wheels and gears, physically correct cloth and sails, cannons, nets, strings and winches and so on. Or a really cool movie function, with which you can easily make your brickmovies with. Or some more import and export interfaces to programs like Blender. Maybe a Linux port. Or a mobile app. Or an integrated cloud storage option. Yes, LDD currently is miles away from being ideal -- but I would pay for it nonetheless. Maybe TLG fears another scenario: If everybody uses virtual bricks, nobody buys the 'real' ones. Thus LDD is kept on a low heat to prevent cannibalizing the core business.

But before I start getting too off topic now, here's another wish:

• Crane Basket 2 x 3 x 2 with Non-Locking Hinge Fingers (https://www.bricklin...Item.asp?P=2424)
  

This part is needed to round the already existing 2350 and 2351 up. There is in fact a similar part 51858; but this part unfortunately isn't compatible with 2350 and 2351.

[hrontos]

They were not mentioned for a while and there some updates since they were last mentioned, but there are still missing pneumatic parts in the LDD.

Since they are appearing in recent sets, may be they can be added also to LDD.

Flexing pneumatic tubes have quite simple geometry, so they should not be a problem and the other parts are not more complicated than linear actuators or other PF parts.

And the new PF motors would be nice, but not a must have.

[Superkalle]

Here is the current "Fans Most Wanted list", prioritized as 1, 2 or 3 after my best understanding of what we want as a group.

NOTE: All bricks with Prio 1, 2 or 3 are on the same level, i.e. there is NO order among all bricks in the same Prio-group (they are sorted by DesignID).

Download the excel-file. If you strongly feel some brick should be moved up or down the list, then add your prio value to the MyPrio column and make the file available here. Or just make a simple post with bricks you want moved (max 10 bricks to keep it simple).

If you want to add a brick then, just do so. NOTE: max 10 bricks.

FansMostWantedJanuary2013.zip

[Calabar]

I report here some of my hight priority bricks from my list:

43753, 4089, 792c01, 3613, 39, x105, 4587, 251c01, 4071, 4611

The complete list here (maybe in the meantime some piece has been added... I would need a list of LDD bricks to verify).

Besides, a great "UP" for the zinfinion wishlist reported here and here (I see there many "priority 1" bricks not reported in the xls file, and don't forget raised baseplates!).

[Superkalle]

Thanks for pointing those lists out Calabar

The most important thing to remember is also that we need to aim that the "Priority 1" category only contain about maximum 30 items (so it's a bit too much already). Otherwise it is unrealistic that they will be added in a near future in LDD. So if one brick is upped to Prio 1, an other need to go down the list. The less the Prio1 list is, the more "sharp" our wishes are.

And of course there is the balance between adding new bricks, adding flex, adding decorations etc.

[DraikNova]

The new LDD motors and some of the newer Hero Factory parts.

They're silly bricks, so I'd love to do something awesome with them in LDD!

Hi and welcome to Eurobricks.

The bricks 3298 and 3001 are already in LDD, but unfortunately without these really cool decos.

By the way, how do 30474 and 3298 actually differ? Their Bricklink images seem to be rather identical. Is there any noticeable distinction justifying adding 30474?

As you are obviously more interested in the decorations than the underlying bricks, may I kindly suggest to post these requests in the separate decoration thread (http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=72201)?

Additionally, you may introduce yourself in this section (http://www.eurobrick...hp?showforum=17).

[Jason C. Hand]

My idea may be a bit short, but it has to do (of course) with the minifig aspect of the program, namely the headpieces/wigs. If nothing else:

1. Arwen/Galadriel's wig
   
2. Shaak Ti headpiece
   
3. Kit Fisto head (Nautolan?)
   
4. Plo Koon's head
   
5. Saesee Tiin's head (horns)
   
6. Hagrid's torso
   
7. Ahsoka headpiece

I've been thinking of new ideas for creations, but I don't have the pieces in real life, and LDD doesn't have them, so here are some HF parts:

Just got info that for the parts below, TLG does not have digital models. This means that they have to be manually created, which in turn means they end up lower on the prio-list.

You guys know, what I want for LDD? Only two things:

1. A section with ALL existing Bionicle pieces

2. A section with ALL existing HF pieces

(By section, I mean a mode like LDD extended)

With this, if ever becomes a reality, every Lego fan will be happy.

2. A section with ALL existing HF pieces

(By section, I mean a mode like LDD extended)

With this, if ever becomes a reality, every Lego fan will be happy.

I think having a separate mode for these would be kind of ineffective. Why not just continue adding BIONICLE and Hero Factory parts to LDD Extended mode like they've been doing?

And naturally, the goal is eventually to have every part, including BIONICLE and Hero Factory parts. With that said, the LDD team isn't superhuman, and parts can only be added so often. I'm very grateful that BIONICLE and Hero Factory parts are even included in updates as frequently as they are, considering that they are somewhat "niche" LEGO themes and often somewhat underappreciated by the wider LEGO fan community.
