Here’s some more examples of my software at work, rendered in POV-Ray:



Here’s how studs-out building compares to studs-up:



Enjoy!

  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) Hi Bram, Some excellent algorithmic design there. Are you sure you shouldn't be doing combinatorics rather than engineering? A few questions about it: 1) Is the whole thing algorithmic or do you have to specify where your snot-centers (I see (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)

Haven't had time to really read into this (will though!) but wanted to post a quick congrats based only on first impressions. They look great! Well done! God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
Wow... if I were still building witth LEGO bricks with any regularity, this style is all I'd be doing. Beautiful stuff. Eric (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) I sure did!!! Outstanding... Three things I found: - LSculpt seem to prefer "Unix" style PLY (with only CR at the end of text file instead of CR/LF Windows style). I had to convert Stanford bunny (bun_zipper.ply) to be able to use it. - After (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad)

Awesome work, Bram. Any chance of getting an MPD or some screenshots of the innards of the cow? James Wilson (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) Wow! I have been working on some sculptures, scenery’s and a huge globe using these studs out building technique lately. And this would be a great addition. I presume I could also use this in making a landscape with the correct 3D triangle (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) Wow. It amazes me what you can come up with :-) I love LEGO. It allows people to do such cool things like this. Spotlighted. -Anne (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) Those sculptures look great with studs-all-the-way - it looks like you have released a whole new degree of freedom in sculpting! (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
Very cool. So it looks like this was used for a class project (based on the header of the paper). If so, I hope you got an A. The paper itself looks exactly like papers I've looked at in the past that were presented at SIGGraph. It seems to not like (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) Amazing work Bram! Loved the paper. Just a quick note: The 3D converter that you link to can take as import Renderman files (RIB) and output PLY files. RIB is one of the supported file formats to E-frontier's Poser software. This allows for (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)
  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) Hmm. Most of that went over my head. Still, there were a few things that I think confused me due to more than my incipient senility: In formula 3, shouldn't that be "Let k\in \{1,2,3\} such that . . ." rather than "Let k=\{1,2,3\} such that .

  Re: First SNOT spheres, now SNOT bunnies?
 
(...) It seems that by default, Visual C++ expects some libraries to exist on the user's computer. I've compiled a static build instead, so hopefully it should work for everyone now. The fixed Windows binary is up on the site. Let me know if you (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad)
