Bricksmith 1.5 adds the following
features:
It also fixes the following bugs:
- Holding option while nudging parts reliably selects the third axis
- Circumvented problem on Intel iMacs preventing selected parts from being displayed
Minifigures are the life and soul of Lego, so it’s little wonder I’ve always
considered the Minifigure Generator one of the noblest features to which an
LDraw editor could aspire. Now Bricksmith can give birth to whole metropolises
of virtual minifigures!
As one might guess, the Bricksmith Minifigure
Generator drew much inspiration from MLCad’s. It even reads the same file for
part lists. However, there are several tweaks I hope you’ll appreciate:
- Part names are displayed in their full form, so you’re never left guessing what a name like “Plain” refers to
- You can choose the arms, so it’s possible to make a skeleton
- The dialog remembers the settings from the last time it was open
This release’s new Move and Rotate panels expose to the user the underlying
part-manipulation routines I use in my code. The Rotate panel, for instance,
allows bricks to be rotated around an arbitrary centerpoint. When one needs such
functionality, it’s nice to have, even though I don’t expect it to be used
frequently.
Bricksmith requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later, and may be download
it at http://bricksmith.sourceforge.net/. It is both Intel and PowerPC
native.
Sincerely,
Allen Smith
