Hi there - new user on the forum, but have been using LDraw tools for a while now.

I recently released a new Lego animation on my channel.  I did the animation by hand using stop-motion techniques, but I used LeoCad, LDView, and PovRay to make the backgrounds, which I composited in using Adobe After Effects.  I hope you enjoy!

Hi there,

next model I'd like to contribute is 6592 Vacation Hideaway, released 1990. Very small, but I liked it very much decades ago.
Done with LDCad 1.6c / Linux64.

Edit: the roof window is missing a sticker.

Any comment is highly welcome, regards
Stefan

This is current situation of the Doors 1 x 4 x 5 Left/Right:

I'm going to submit the missing doors using the Rebrickable nomenclatura as well as the needed "Moveto"s.

Me again. :-)

Any way to get the bezier curves tighter in the string template? The current limit of 5 isn't quite enough to tie this not:    

It looks okay from above, but in the front view, you can see the loop doesn't draw in snugly. (I tried adding an extra path point on the bottom of the loop, but it just made all the corners square off.) I should also add that I'm using the Studio workaround, so the donor parts are 4-4cyli's rather than LDCad's donor parts. (It actually seems to curve more tightly this way.)

I'd like to revise the Library guideline to require the Bricklink patterned part ID in the keywords. This is already (mostly) standard practice, I'd just like to codify it. This will also make it easier for sites like Rebrickable to automate pattern cross referencing.

Hello,

I am looking for part 36762, Harry Potter hair.  If someone is able to do this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi there,

attached is the Lego Technic 8845 dune buggy of 1981.

Done with LDCad 1.6c / Linux64.

Edit: wheels are rubber-black instead of brick-black as suggested. Thanks to Philippe!
Edit2: sub-parts did not have " - " between number and name, please find updated file below.

Have fun
Stefan

Official Mindstorms models

Hi there,

as my next contribution I'd like to share several official sets of the Kings Castle 6080 with some extensions: 6022 Horse Cart, 6041 Armor Shop, 6049 Viking Voyager, 6061 Siege Tower, 6067 Guarded Inn, and of course the 6102 Mini Figures Set. I hope the files are all correctly OMRized, thanks again to Philippe and Johann. For simplicity reasons I will upload them in separated posts in this thread.

Any comment or suggestion is highly welcome, best regards
Stefan

[Edit: previous title was: "Kings Castle of mid-1980s"]

I start to wonder about the use cyli/cyls primitives within the arm parts: when they are rendered with primitive substitution, this result in gaps in the arms, very noticeable. Maybe we should inline them...

Yes, I was looking at them yesterday. Don't like them.

And maybe we could also remove that kink inside the elbow? It looks like it has been "forced" to fit the primitives.
I was planing to use your knob in all minifig arm parts. Maybe it is time for a reshape, before we start making patterned arms. Gerald, any opinion?

I must agree with Philo, due to the primitive substitution visible gaps appear when rendering the arms., Inlining some of the prims would for sure benefit the final result

What do you mean with that: that kink inside the elbow

See the kink on left image: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Philo/misc2/3818.png
I'd prefer to see the surfaces spared from the kink into a smoother outer elbow surface
