LMS Engineer Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 total time 5 hours take a look please not color scheme in not final as you can see i am nowhere near finished and can you animate LEGO® in mlcad? if you have and suggestions or measurements (length of ship et.) post them. eventually i will render the entire ship. will take forever! i know how to make the radar dish in front, the tower and engines now all i need is the body.

Addictgamer Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Wow...Great work. I may use this if I reanimate the intro ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Wow. Looks absolutely awesome, it's obvious that you put a LOT of work into that. And yes, LDraw things can be animated (MLCad uses LDraw, I don't think MLCad itself can animate.). I don't know if there's an easy-to-use tool for it, but you can definitely import the models into blender and animate them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow322 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 WOW That is so cool! So your really makeing a whole model of the LMS's bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Engineer Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 okay i have a problem , in the intro there are pipes separating the consoles, they are octagonal cylinders unfortunately mlcad doesn't have them (my parts library may be out of date) if i don't find them i will use standard cylinders and 45deg. 2x2 slopes. won't look pretty but will work. p.s. it's "please note color scheme not final" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero_Lief Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hmm. Try the UNOFFICIAL parts library, ones that AVERAGE USERS make that might not be fully approved yet. There, one sentence answers both questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS Engineer Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 sorry for late response , i checked , couldn't find it(the octagonal pieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTdesigner Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 nice job so far. Another program thats entirely lego based that would be good for that is Leocad, has almost all the lego pieces(including octagonal), but the camera is a little hard to control i think.

TheDoctor Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I still haven't figured out how to set up mlcad. I would like love to do some modeling for something. I just need to figure out what i need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoCAD is also LDraw, so it uses the same parts library, though possibly I recall it automatically downloading one. Maybe it'd be possible to download the parts with leocad then do the rest with mlcad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulb98 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 OMG so cool! it looks almost like the bridge in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioniclemaster Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 a third program you could use is SR3D builder. how to build is unknown to me, but it's fully rendered while building, it has a similar 'auto snap' system, like in LDD and you can make gears turn. website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
