Building with virtual bricks in VR |

Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on EasyCraft, and I wanted to share what building with virtual bricks in VR feels like.
Instead of placing parts with a mouse and keyboard, you can pick up a brick with a motion controller, turn it in your hand, and place it where it connects to the model.
The most interesting part for me is the sense of scale. Being able to look at a model from different positions while building gives a more immediate feel for its size and proportions. In some ways, it feels closer to handling physical bricks, while keeping the convenience of digital building.
For those interested in compatibility, it supports LDR import and export and uses the LDraw parts library. It also supports collaborative multiplayer building. Most features are free to use, and there is no charge for building, regardless of the size of your model. A small fee is only required for publishing creations or using multiplayer collaboration.

I’d be interested to hear whether anyone else here has tried building in VR. What did you find worked better—or worse—than using a desktop editor?

| LDraw.org 2026-10 Parts Update Now Available |

The 2026-10 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 186 new files to the core library, including 129 new parts and 1 new primitive. As of this update, the LDraw.org Parts Library contains 17230 unique shapes or patterned parts.
Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.
You can preview the new parts in 2026-10 here, and download the update here.
Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

There is a Metallic silver but no Metallic dark silver which is used in some more recent part decorations is it planned to be added?
Or is it worth using Metallic Dark Grey instead? Did that one ever get used for anything?
Metallic dark silver is used on 981pb459 & 982pb459, 98138pb474 and 3070pb392 as examples.
