Yes, but you could make a small entry for the other class too. The minimum limit is 30 bricks. You can use LDD Manager to quickly import the LDD model and it will tell you pretty much immediately if you've used a non-produced color. I think that's the fastest way.

This decision was made at staff level. The idea is to have the entries at each theme so that LDD can be seen by more people. If the contest and entries would only be made in the LDD forum, it would be to much of a "LDD only" thing, and with this contest we want to invite people on a broader base to try LDD. And also because it's a way to make an EB wide contest for the first time and to see how it works.

You can have one entry in each class, and since there are two classes, you can have maxium 2 entries in this contest - one in each class The minifigs colors and print combination must have been manufactured by TLG. The reason is that we have to draw the limit somewhere to avoid completely far-out entries. The idea is that if people see a MOC they like they should in theory be able to buy the pieces for it. The reason Toa of Justice could enter was that his MOC was posted just a few hours/days ago. For older MOCs than that, you cannot enter them. Sorry, but we have to draw the line somewhere. The brick limit is now set and finalized at 2500.

Yes, if that is what you want to compete with.

No, but you have a point. We've increased the limit to 2500 bricks. @Zbjl - You can use alternative parts. Anything in Universe Mode can be used. @IndianaJones - Aahhhh. We didn't think anyone would notice Fixed now.

OK, so I have this LXF file that I want to share with others. How do I do it? There are a few alternatives: 1) Create a Brickshelf account (www.brickshelf.com). There you can upload jpg-files as well as zip-files or even LXF-files and the paste the link in your post. 2) Add as attachement into your post. Note however that you can only upload a total of 100kb and that the LXF-files have to be zipped first. 3) Upload to any file-sharing service, or even a Hotmail account (skydrive), a google account or similar

Welcome to the first LDD Design Contest here at Eurobricks. The first contest on Eurobricks that span over all themes The contest is now closed for entries. Next step is voting, which will start in a few days. Contest Objective The goal of this contest is as simple as it is straight forward: To build the most awesome, jaw-dropping MOC ever using LDD in the design process. Theme You can design and build whatever you want. There is no limitation on style or theme, but there are three simple rules: 1) Your design has to be made in Lego Digital Designer version 3.1.3 (download here). It is OK to use all the bricks in Universe Mode (read here how to unlock) 2) The MOC has to be between 30 and 2500 bricks. You may also add up to 50 minifigs. 3) You can only use bricks with colours that has been manufactured by TLG. Your best bet is to check BrickLink for available colours for each brick. You can also use LDD Manager to analyze your design with respect to colour (read here and download). Classes There are two classes: 1) Only LDD. In this class you may use only LDD, there’s no need to build the MOC with physical bricks. But remember, only bricks in colours manufactured by TLG may be used. If you want you can use cool backgrounds, but you cannot photoshop the LDD MOC itself. 2) LDD + Real bricks. In this class you must also build your LDD design with physical bricks. With this class we want to promote LDD as a tool to support MOC design with the intent of also building it with physical bricks. Posting your entry One entry per category and member (i.e. you can post one entry in each class). And please, no recycling of old creations. Submissions should be made as follows: Class LDD Only - Take screenshot in LDD from up to three angles and submit. In this class you must also submit the LXF-file (click here if you need to know how to do that). Class LDD + Real Bricks - Submit screenshot in LDD from up to three angles as well as photos of your built MOC from two angles. In this class you do not have to post the LXF-file if you don't want to. Please note: Screenshots/Images shall be max 800x600. See the Tutorials Index for help with resizing images and deeplinking.

Your request is my law, master..... It has been done.

This is most certainly a graphics card/refresh problem. I've had similar artifacts on my old laptop, but a modern card like the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 sholdn't have any problem. Like Calabar says, if shall be able to help you, you need to be very detailed here. Can you please report OS (Win 7, but what version and 32 or 64 bit) OS Language Grapics Card manufacturer Graphics Driver Version DirectX version LDD Version (3.1.3, right?) Also, in LDD Edit > Preferences does it make any difference if you change compatability mode

You can see KITT allready now. Just download LDD (ldd.lego.com) and you can open the LXF-file and see it (well, only in digital form that is ) EDIT: Just noticed you are new on Eurobricks - Welcome!! You can always post a quick introduction of yourself here

I found this excellent MOC by our old friend Bojan. It's a good example of how to use Groups in LDD. Thought I'd just post it here too. Download the LXF and check it out in the "Groups" tab. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42542

Hey Bojan What a great looking truck. The yellow artwork is faboulus. And knowing your mechanical skills, it makes perfect sense that you put some moving legs Another sweet touch is the tilting 5th wheel. Nice trick also with putting the road base plates under. Using groups in LDD is a very proffesional approach. Every LDD user should watch and learn. And that you added the LXF-files is a very nice gesture! I'm defeintly adding this to the LDD forum index. Oh, and that rear part of the truck I would call a ramp. A backside could mean something else And an idea: I would turn the rear rims 180 degrees because that how they look on a real truck due to the double wheel mounting. The front rim is however correct:
