Nachapon Bricks

I didn't noticed that, but the 1024x768 shoud be in "all size" in Flickr. Please try to download PNG from my brickshelf gallery or page 6

I used the default "visible bevels". Next time I will try "All bevels", hi-res and without AA.

The PNG version (without orange spot) uploaded. I'm not sure about shadow setting, will check it later. May I aks you or someone who may know, is there a way to do different settings of draft renderings of a model without to parsing(load includes, assign bricks?) every time? Parsing always take long time.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. Please feel free to use it, without your LDD2POVRay and EB's digi.. forum I can't create them. I used left light 70% and top 40%.

37 min, 1024x768, AA, 2 lights, normal radiosity, phenom 9600. Decals from photo and by paint. view 23 min, same setting.

All setting are as same as the duck, 800x600 AA, it took about 3 hours on Phenom 9600.

Thank you very much for create such a great tool. :thumbup: Maybe this is better than LDD5 update.

Thank you very much, DLuders. For always support me and spent your time for the post above.

This pinball is on cuusoo. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/2223 If you like this pinball & project #2750 (2-sided SNOT helper, got most supports of mine). http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/2750 Please support both of them, Thank you very much for your kind support :-). I have 21 projects on cuusoo for now. 12 of them are new brick design. LEGO Pinball Machine with 7 flippers by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. But some of them are floating. Need to adjust to build with real bricks. You can download the LXF. It would be nice if we update our LDD screenshot to POV-ray render, too.(In case of all parts can be covert correctly.) Flex elements can be "borrow" from LDD screenshot.(Not difficult cause they use same camera angle, as pic below) This duck is my first render test. It took 4 minutes from click run, one light, fast radiosity, 800x600 AA.

Thanks, this is what we are looking for! My 10226_sopwith_camel is the first pic in the Gallery. So from now on, should we have option to use POV pic for LXF post if all parts are converted correctly? This ship took 5 hours to render at 3200x2400 noAA, 2048x1745 on Flickr.

Thanks guys for nice comments. I agree with both of you. This is new version of the 2-sided stud only. It comes with a key slot so we can pull it out by a hook form both side, in case of mis use. With this parts, we will get many many new parts. Complete set of two sided plates/bricks/slopes & invert tiles (as shown) etc. LEGO 2-sided stud V2 by Nachapon by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks, maybe you didn't noticed that there is a pair of stud on the pins, so they will not fall out. The clutch power should be same as a normal stud. I'm going to make this part myself by to modify the axle with knob 3m.

Discovered that cylinder walls for stud of a brick are tapered.(for increase clutch power and easy release from mould) So, the 2-sided stud stick will not go all the way.( "Dia end" are smaller than "Dia start") You can prove this by insert an axle into the cylinders. Here come a new version of the "2-sided stud" (for brick to brick & brick to plate): Stud(knob)+axle.(end of axle should be a bit smaller for reduce friction) Cross-section of a 2x4 brick model. LEGO 2-sided brick v2 by Nachapon by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks guys for interested in this topic. Your nice comments are helpful for improvement and remove bugs. Use 2/3 studs holes for stud of corner pieces then plates will not hit each other as shown in picture below. In case of to fill the gaps. Use brick with side knob(s), and technic bricks with side knobs(add peg w. knob) and typical bricks & plates. With log tile invert & log tile invert with 45° cut one end. The inside wall of cabin will become as good as outside. (Log layers hold by door/windows parts & bricks with side knobs) Maybe the corner pieces should have a vertical stud & stud hole for stack themself.

Thanks, maybe just fill the corner of the corner piece with plastic. Then the split molding block should be OK. Some people in cuusoo told me that the log size in the previous log wall are too small form the minifig scale, and I agree with them.

LEGO log cabin bricks v2 (double log diameter to minifig scale). Three new moulds require.(with corner L/R & log tile 1x2) Use normal Lego pieces as inner structure. Options to fill or leave the log gaps.(connect them with plates) Connect round brick and round tile(with growth rings decal) to the corner piece. The corner pieces are not optimize for save plastic & moulding yet. pic size (1600 x 1087)

Thanks, sometimes the new pieces ideas came form things in real life. Maybe we just let the wall sit on them and connect from the room next to it. Yes, I did, and the octagon one will become 3x3.

Thanks for your comment. Headligth brick is one of my favorIte brick for SNOT. 2 headlight bricks can create a half plate steps, 4 HB for a square, 8 HB for a cube. But these parts still necessary for some creations because they are much smaller than 2 HB, and sometimes the third stud of a pair of HB will corrosion to other bricks.

Thanks, I think these part are for air/space craft builder like you. Lego hinge can build easy flaps(aileron,elevator & rudder). But.. - not look so good/smooth. - not parallel with the wing. - cannot build bigger flaps - limit by angle 0-90 degree.( +/- 45 or 90 degree is better) I will try to design a new hinge for thiese parts. We can build the wing to any size and attach many stuff onto it freely LDDScreenShot137 by Nachapon S., on Flickr
