    Solidworks and Rock Raiders

    I think that people are pretty interested in my project, so I thought that I would share some of my progress as I work towards my ultimate goal. So far I've created the Chrome Crusher, the Tunnel Transport, the Power Station, the Support Station, and I am nearly done with the Super Teleport. I'd like to give a huge thanks to JimbobJeffers for creating the instructions that I've been using for the buildings and of course to everyone here for being so supportive of this long and arduous process. For the record, I am using Solidworks 2013 to create each individual brick and then putting those bricks together in assemblies. It started as an exercise to maintain software proficiency but turned into an opportunity to digitally recreate some of my favorite kits using components not offered in conventional Lego CAD software. As an intro, I thought that you'd all like a quick glimpse of my construction process. I've compiled this GIF as an idea of how I put these together. I'll update this again when I get further along. Edit: I'll have a large selection of additional images shared on my DeviantArt page.

    It would be incredibly useful, and it would save a lot of time since we wouldn't have to keep moving files and starting the game to get an eye on what the map will look like. But from what I can tell so far, your tool uses the bottom-left corner of each tile as the height point, but it seems like LRR uses the top-left. I noticed inconsistencies between how some of my levels looked in your tool so I wanted to bring that up, and it seems to make sense as LRR uses the top-left corner of each map as the origin, with +x being east and +y being south.

    Okay, I'll give you two that much. Those bricks will be very useful, but the rest isn't even worth our time. I can't complain about more teal.

    The Simpsons Are Coming, Confirmed Confirmed

    Fortunately, years ago, I took a screenshot for just such an occasion: And wonderfully written rant, McStudz. It perfectly sums up my feelings towards both the younger demographic of The Simpsons and the declining quality of the show over the years. Saying that The Simpsons is an ideal LEGO product because it's a show that kids enjoy is like saying that South Park or Call of Duty would be ideal LEGO licenses as well. Yes, kids watch South Park and play Call of Duty, but that doesn't say anything about their appropriateness as a potential LEGO product, because those kids aren't the target audience. Kids aren't the target audience of The Simpsons, either. And I know LEGO has licensed PG-13 films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings, but those are all a completely different genre from The Simpsons - they are all "fantasy/historical action adventures", which has always been something that translates well to LEGO products. Some things are just better off being left to the MOCers, in my opinion. Want to make MOCs based on this show? Go right ahead! But LEGO licensing it, and seeing these products take up toystore shelf space... ah, well, listen to me, a crummy old-fashioned LEGO fan. Sounds like the future of LEGO Simpsons depends on the success of the first wave. As much as I hate to admit it, that younger demographic does probably overlap considerably with LEGO's demographic, meaning these sets probably will be successful, allowing LEGO to milk this license for years to come...

    Fortunately, Unfortunately

    Fortunately, pressing up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-Enter turned the duck into a Super-Duck who burst from the simulated reality inside the cartridge into the real world, preventing the corruption from affecting it.
