(...) This is already an option! Use the command line "-b 1" to get the bottom layer of plates studs up instead of studs down. Increase 1 to whatever number of layers you want studs up (it'll do 5 layers at a time, so the next meaningful layer (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad)

(...) Another handy option might be one to flip bricks pointing down so that they point up. So the sculpture would be completely studs out execept for the bottom, which would always be studs up instead of studs down like it is now. Not sure how this (...)

(...) 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)

(...) Yep, that should work. You might get some funky pieces around the edges of the mesh, but most of it should be good. If you want a studs up landscape, use "-q -n" in your commandline. (...) I look forward to some cool results! --Bram (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Hey James, right now there are no inner workings on any of the rendered models. It's up to you to figure out how to build the shape my program spits out. --Bram (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) I used someone else's library to read in the PLY files, so I'm not sure what it prefers. STL is a simpler format, so I wrote that parser myself...and haven't had any problems with it. (...) Try saving as PLY binary from 3D Object Converter. As (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.cad)

Hi all, With the new (URL) SNOT-method> I designed last year, I created some more interlocking puzzles (only using bricks, plates and tiles). Lots of tan pieces were ordered, but I had enough old brown bricks to make the first one already. (2 URLs) (...) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, FTX) !

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)

(...) Wow! I have been working on some sculptures, scenerys and a huge globe using these studs out building technique lately. And this would be a great addition.

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)

Those trees are brilliant! The colour and design both work so well, good work! I've never been a fan of japanese castles so I can't comment fairly on the rest, but the overall effect is good. Thanks for sharing and God Bless, Nathan (URL) (18 years ago, 15-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
