Hi Pedro,
Thanks for the compliments.
I tried to stay accurate to the original within the confines of LEGO colors
(OK RARE LEGO colors). However, you are right that the color scheme comes
out a bit garish looking. It would be interested to re-map the color to
standard red/blue/yellow instead of the odd shades I used. In fact, this
would be fairly easy. If you look at directions.txt in the sub-folder, you
will note the need for a color correction include to get around an LP3 color
problem. You can simply change the colors in this include to re-map all the
colors. If I have time, maybe I'll try it, just to see what it would look
like.
Regarding the wireframe, that is just a view I set to take a "splash screen"
for the .dat folder. I never use that view when actually creating stuff
because it is too slow and nearly impossible to figure things out. I
normally use the default view, which displays each brick shaded in
(basically a low quality version of the finished render).
I haven't found a good solution for garage doors. As you can probably tell,
those garages are regular bricks and can't open. I've tried plates before
as well, but they don't look good. It seems like it would be relatively
easy to make a garage door made of regular bricks or plates open like an old
garage door by using a standard LEGO hinge piece. I can't think of any way
to make a garage work like the newer roll-up kind without actually using
LEGO's roll-up garage door pieces.
