Matija Puzar announced back in September that he had completed his LDraw design for a LEGO version of the Croatian National Theater. As impressive as the design may have been, the actual creation is just plain gorgeous. The capitals on the columns are particularly beautiful. Thanks to Brick Town Talk for pointing me to the Continue reading →
RACHAL (RAytracing CHALlenge) is a challenge we run on ldraw.org where various people render the same virtual LEGO creation (typically a vignette like scene). The point of it is to allow people to challenge themselves on rendering a shared LEGO scene adding their own technical and artistic interpretations.

I haven’t seen the anime myself (to be honest, I haven’t seen any anime), but this is a nice piece of work regardless. Too bad the arm is unable to move. It is modeled in a Continue reading →
Virtual LEGO? Meh. While I understand that finessing the software can be a challenge, it seems a bit like cheating. (Unlimited parts? In any color you want? C’mon!) Well, that’s what I usually think, but Tim Gould — who mainly uses LDraw — actually makes virtual LEGO interesting. Here’s Tim’s UDK38 Schenkel, inspired by Japanese Continue reading →
