Vehicle - Lego Super Car

[Aldaryn]

Wow! I can't believe it.. it's actually is! :)
This piece took me about 1 month to complete when I was 13... I still can remember how excited I was back than...

Do you plan to build the F1 version of this set of LEGO too? (The one also included in the building plans)

Excellent:applause: I like Lego Technics too:) Great modelling.

how do you get the models to fit together like lego'S? Grid snapping procedure or something?

[afimisf]

That is awesome man. To make a lego, is it simply basic primitives or is it more complex. *newbie alarm goes off*

Lego's are rad :buttrock:

[Larsen]

Well done, i'm stunned by your work !

You seem to be patient, that should take you a long time to make it.

:thumbsup:

I think he used a prog like LCAD, a cad prog specialised on lego. its royality free has a big parts libary and a lego dots grid snapping :D

Cheers guys, glad you like it! :beer:

Aldaryn, I never thought about doing the F1 version in the manual. I've still got the manual and the box somewhere so I might go and dig them out and do the F1 car in Max sometime soon.

Cyborgguineapig, it wasn't so much grid snapping but mostly lining up the holes and nodes to fit them together.

afimisf, the pieces varied from basic primitives to complex. The flat pieces you can get away with by doing a simple cube with a few cyclinders on top. The bricks needed the holes through them plus they are hollow in side. They are mostly boolean shapes. I even put the LEGO text on some of them but the polys went through the roof so the pieces you can't see I made more simple. There's no point in adding detail where you can't see it. Besides, the college 333Mhz Mac's couldn't handle it. I needed just over 1GB of RAM to render 1.5 million polys.

Little_Devil, FormZ is a CAD based program so it's similiar to LCAD in a way. I built the library of pieces myself, proberly took me longer to build the library than putting it all together looking back on it. All the pieces were then instanced into the scene like Xref'ing in Max.
