  I just got the IR racer and fell in love with Lego again
Posted by: Santeri Piippo - 2017-11-28, 21:09 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (2)

"Welcome back, Santeri Piippo. You last visited: 2017-05-12, 14:23 "

Why, thank you. Man, it's been a while since I've done much related to Lego. College sucked me into real life and it's been a pretty rough ride.

From my TFOL years I've always wanted myself one of those IR parts because hey, remote controllable stuff is cool. So now after 8 years I finally found myself in a supermarket with boxes of the IR racer on the lego shelf. And I came to wonder: why can't I just buy that now and end this wait? Planning is cool but sometimes you just need to act. So I bought it and this evening hasn't been much short of mesmerising. I mean, look at this thing buzzing around. Especially the little print on the 1×3 beam, kind of, made me realize that I had long ago plummeted into dark ages (despite vowing once that this would never happen to men) and I need a hobby.

Along the way I've learned a lot about myself. Specifically, that I may not have been at my best possible behavior during my earlier days. So I apologize for any grief I may have caused during my more active years. I also think that I left a few outstanding hold votes during my plummet into real life. Confused

I haven't made a part for years now, thinking that once I clean up ldforge and get it upright I can make more bionicle staves. But what's the point, since that's clearly never going to get done? So likewise I need to take the easy way instead of sticking relentlessly to a doomed plan. I guess I'll set up ldpartauthor and maybe a hg repository for future work. So, what now? I'm not sure whether I'll be making more bionicle parts since that set line's been discontinued and the story has been told long ago (too bad that the story left a lot of loose ends). But I'm sure I'll find something. Maybe clean up my submissions in the PT.

And build some remote-controllable heavy machinery... I'll need more IR parts for that, though. And just a week ago or so I built a whole suspension arm for the first time. So that's what you really use the springs for.

  Question about Shock Absorber Damped
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2017-11-28, 11:36 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (6)

So, I noticed that the library contains 2 versions of 'Shock Absorder 10L Damped':

  • 32181c02, trans-clear housing
  • 32181c04, trans-blue housing
These parts are opposite of how other LDraw spings (shortcuts) work. For all other springs, the housing has a variable color while the spring part is hardcoded. For these two springs however, things are the other way around. The housing color is hardcoded and the spring part is variable. Hence also the need for two shortcuts instead of one.

Isn't it more logical to remove those two shortcuts and create a new shortcut where the spring is hardcoded (black) and the housing is variable. It's way more logical when giving the part a color and it's more in line with the other springs.

I hope that makes sense  Shy

  Start out with Friends and Junior Models
Posted by: karen lauro - 2017-11-27, 21:38 - Forum: Official Models - Replies (17)

Hi, I just finished Lego Software Power Tools book. So it is time for me to get building. I am planning on building some Friends and Junior models we have the real blocks at home.

There will be parts that are not in the library, e.g. animals and awnings. Is there something that describes going from a set of multiview images to 3d model in the Ldraw tool environment?

Also is LEGO City Town Fun in the Park - 60134 anywhere in the pipeline?

Question Question about future work
Posted by: Johann Eisner - 2017-11-26, 13:55 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

Hey guys

At the moment I'm still drawing a construction manual for a MOC, (Trabant 601 from Holgi) which I would like to publish here after its approval.
After that, I want to focus more on parts.
So now my question: Since I want to practice something in 2D first, I ask myself or you the question in how far stickers are important for the PT.
An alternative would be Minifig Torso.
Or is it important simply to bring many many parts, no matter which, into the database?

Best Regards
Johann

  Question about Lego Dimensions and part mention
Posted by: End Unsure - 2017-11-23, 1:08 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (16)

Hey guys, been awhile. Sorry about that, life is moving at the speed of life again.

Anyways, so Lego Dimensions seems to be introducing new interesting Lego products some of which don't even seem to have real life counter parts. Specifically I watched a Lego Gremlins video today which featured Stripe, Gizmo, Spider-Mohawk (well Stripe really), regular gremlins and Gizmo-Gremlin form. Searching for the actual figures it seems they only made Stripe and Gizmo. Some Gremlins also appeared in Lego batman but I can;t recall if they were Stripe or regular gremlins.

While it is that in part this is a gentle request for said figures, I recognize they would require the physical models to be scanned because of the details. More what I am wondering is what of these digital only models? Will the community attempt to create them or are they not considered true Legos? And for that matter, is there much intent or interest in covering the Lego Dimensions minifigures that do come out?

Thanks guys, was just curious how the community is proceeding with all this.

  Part number for double injection and assemblies
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2017-11-22, 20:05 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (15)

I love this hobby. I'm authoring part for almost 15 years and still come across things I have no clues about. Given that I read:

http://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/ref/numberfaq/

I have no idea how to number the top and bottom part of the Animal clam I just fixed:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=30218

and how to number the assemblies of the closed and opened version.
(Is it further worth modeling its alias https://rebrickable.com/parts/30218/clam...inner-lip/ or just go with a renumber).

Some goes for double injection:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...152c01.dat

how do we number them? Any links in the FAQ?

but how do I mirror AND compensate the -24 LDU on the y axis on the same time to get a mirror of the selection right above the parent parts?

I've been working on building some of the 80s and 90s Model Team sets in MLCad and noticed they are not in the repository here.  I'm planning to post more, including alternate models, as I make them OMR compliant, but I suppose I'll wait for this one to be reviewed first so I know if there's anything I need to fix.
