So, on Friday, I was making a LDD model of an MOC. Everything was working just fine. I was able to find all the bricks, I got all the correct colors, and it was almost done. The only thing left were the corrugated flexible pipes.

After a quick hunt for the pipe, I added it to my model. But I needed to bend to pipe to connect the other end. So I pressed the Flex Tool.

Did I mention that this was the first time I have used the Flex Tool? So this was a new experience for me. I clicked the pipe... and it moved with my mouse cursor. I was expecting to be able to rotate and move it using a combination of Normal mode and the Hinge tool. Side note: if you turned off the "Show keys for turning" setting and opted not to include your mouse cursor in your game recorder, it would look as if the pipe would have a mind of its own. Freaky.

So anyway, I was trying to bend my pipe when something strange happened. It was no doubt a glitch, but it was funny none of the less: the pipe begin to distort. It in no way followed the law of LEGO, not even IRL physics for that matter. It looked like I had loaded the pipe into Blender and stretched the mesh all out of whack.

Before I did anything else to my build, I loaded Gregion and started recording LDD since LDD is OpenGL, and Gregion can record that. The resulting picture video was funny and strange at the same time.

Crazy, huh? I'm glad I got that video when I did. I loaded my model the next day, and LDD removed the brick. Oh well. I'll just save my model for the day a LDD importer script for Blender is written. :P
