Title: Lego battle
Post by: beatspete on August 10, 2002, 03:58:47 pm: Ok, here's something i made, first putting the ships together (though the orion is only about 2/3 there, my brain hurts when i try to finish the rest), then taking a screenshot, then adding in a planet i made another time, some beams, stars and a sun in PSP-7.
What do you recon?

Yes and no. I have no where near enough parts to make any of those ships out of my real lego. But there's things that are too complex (technic models, mainly) to make in MLCAD, plus you wouldnt get to see them working.

Well i'm not really a render artist, its just a screenshot with a few things drawn on it after all....

CG is enjoyable because you're unconstrained in what you can do- you're not limited to little box shapes, etc. Basically, MLCAD seems to combine the downside of both worlds.

Well not everyone has the space to have Lego land in their closet...
