I made a movie once, with a Futuron guy flying on a spaceship over a classic space landscape -entirely in POV-ray. (The movie got lost when my HD crashed, so I can't show it to you.) The hills were easy to make; use a heightfield! If you don't know (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad.ray)

Okay. Before I embark on this project of creating a ferris wheel from legos... I was wondering if anyone has done this and has pictures of it online... If so, I would also be curious to see any building designs (mlcad)... This project is for a first (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

I am having a hard time solving two design problems related to the base I am building. Problem 1: I want to use a single motor to (slowly) raise a vertical shaft (e.g., a Technic axel mounted vertically) 8 to 16 studs. After raising the shaft to (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.build)
