    I followed your Classic Space thread and this one will be just as good! Are you going to be making the little name placards for these sets as well? Maybe on green or blue ties?

    Could dark red be substituted?

    I post a lot here and in the train forum. I see a lot of what Ron is mentioning but for folks that build like Ron does, there isnt a lot of interest for me. This is LEGO so fitting a minifigure is where its at, even if the scale has to be somewhat sacrificed to do so. I like to build in the PennLUG scale of 8 studs=10 feet but most of the cars in my city are "too big" because I like the look and playability of the Speed Champs style of build. I see threads like DeMarco's that is updated almost everyday and admire that he has time. I build mostly in LDD because when I am home the last thing I have time for is building with bricks. That is also compounded by the fact that I have a 6 month old at home that would wake up if I try to dig thru my bins late at night. For me, the town forum is a place to share cool things but I just mostly ignore the discussion of Winter Village and TLG stuff. I like the modular discussion but just to see what kind of new building techniques are there and not much else.

    Oh that makes so much sense I was looking at it like man that is a cool build and didnt even register it as an actual piece haha

    For the dozer build is it possible to swap for tan or olive green to do a military version?

    These look great! are your containers 6x32 and 6x16? would you mind sharing the details of orange truck trailer attachement mechanism?
  7. supertruper1988
    This looks great! Can you share your brick built corners too? I have been trying a bunch of solutions to no avail for my city.

    Hey @msx80 any chance we can get a render queue? I have a bunch of files i want to render and would like to run it over night. Also is there any way to change the default file name? I would like to have it not be *[file name]*.lxf.png
  9. supertruper1988
    That looks great!!

    When you do, I made some instructions to motorize it with an M-Motor here!
  11. supertruper1988
    hmm ill pm you my email and I can see if its a file thing
  12. supertruper1988
    What kind of computer? I have 16GB of ram so I have no issues at that part count. Have you updated Java recently? If you havent maybe update. If you have maybe see if you can roll it back. If you think it is a file thing feel free to send me a PM and I can try to open them and see if they are giving me any trouble.
  13. supertruper1988
    That seems like a low RAM issue. How many pieces is your file? I have run into errors and slow ness over the 2500 piece mark.

    The official BlueRender does not have LEGO logos. It was a mod by someone here that no longer posts.
  15. supertruper1988
    That looks awesome!! Can you pose it next to some of the other MOCs you have to get an idea of scale?
  16. supertruper1988
    I know I tried to do a MOD of 31039 to make it into an F35B and the wings in that alone were a headache i cant imagine a FM or SD/SSD

    I dont think its a winning battle to be honest. There is a general perception in the world that digital is not as good/cheating/easier than the physical. I mean look at modern art. There are some great painters that are painting in Illustrator or Procreate but their work wont be recognized at the same level as those who are actually putting paint on a canvas. Part of that is because paint on a canvas takes time to prep the canvas, pick the paint medium, pick the colors, mix new colors, pick the brush(es), etc and that thats all before there is even one brush stroke on canvas. If you apply that to our medium of creating with Lego, you get the same thing. For a digital MOC you "build" from an unlimited supply of virtual bricks in any color you can imagine that are pre-sorted in to categories for you. There is also no gravity so a build might work digitally that is totally unstable in real life. For real builds, there is so much more prep. You have to buy bricks either thru Lego, BrickLink, etc then you have to sort the Lego into a system that works for your building style. Once you have all that and a blank slate, then you have to build your MOC and wait for parts build and wait and so on. I prefer to build in LDD to plan out a build and I even generate instructions, I then gather up the pieces that I have and order the missing ones then build the MOC. If I have a part that I feel is going to be weak in real life, I will test the build with peices on hand before I place it digitally. I also have bought large amount of bulk brick to sort and build with but I dont have a space for builds these days so I store them and will build and rebuild MOCs one day.

    I mean I wasnt gonna just bugger up your thread saying "dude ur pix sukz0rs!!!11!" but since you posted this topic, I figured that I would chime in. I have had many people ignore my threads as well but such is life. I only have mostly digital designs of modern american freight moving vehicles like trucks/trains/etc and I like to build in the scale of many train builders of 8 studs = 10 feet which is hard but also the creations are HUGE. Just a single tractor trailer is over 50 studs. People dont care about that tho. I know that blue render takes a while but IMO its so worth it. The screen shots from LDD are so crowded that its hard to see details but a render makes it look pretty realistic which helps people be able to focus on the MOC and not the low poly and dark screenshots.

    I think it is about presentation. I saw your post in the Sci-Fi forum. I would recommend making renders instead of screen shot (look at blue render here in the LDD Forum) and make sure you have a good story to go along. The Sci-Fi forum is also a slower paced forum on here so the content isnt as commented on. As for the lack of digital builds in contests, that is so that you are only unsing pieces in colors that are actually produced. Many folks see the digital build as not able to win a contest because its not as laborious to make content.

    This is awesome! I love the clam toilet, great part usage.

    Hello, @iCleverStyle This is an english only forum. I used google translate to read your message. You cannot change the order of items in blue print via the LXF. It ignores the LDD order and builds generally from the bottom up. You then have to rearrange the parts to make your instructions.
  22. supertruper1988
    Those are really cool! what a creative parts usage and use of space! Now I need to find a sweet attic for me to setup in hahaha!
  23. supertruper1988
    I would be interested in this for sure. I think that there are too many purists to have wide adoption but for all of us north american modelers, these would be awesome and I could sell my magnets to fund the purchase of these haha.
  24. supertruper1988
    I have PM'd you
  25. supertruper1988
    @vermontcathy I loaded that up into BluePrint and the default alone makes 203 steps. It is not in a great order but it does generally work from the bottom up. It would take quite a few hours to make a more comprehensive instruction package.
