  Snowman
 
Had a request from work to build a snowman... He's big, heavy and white: (3 URLs) I don't know how many parts this took, but it was a lot. Suggestions or improvements welcome- a hat is next, I think. Enjoy, and PLMKWYT! Tim (Smith) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) The mapping from these images to a sphere is a conversion to Ldraw coordinates, then a rotation based on which panel we are rendering, then a conversion from these to polar coordinates, then interpreting phi to be latitude, and theta to be (...)

(...) was thinking about doing a small one myself, or a decent size virtual one, but I never got around to it. Did you consider doing more colors to create a 3-D mosaic? Perhaps a more realistic color scheme with forest, desert, and clouds...I (...) (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Derek is correct, the physical land mass of Antartica is actually almost the same as the USA (5.4 million sq miles vs 5.9 million sq miles). The ice shelves and ice mass are in addition to this area. Having said that, your creation is way cool (...) (19 years ago, 11-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

There's no way I could have ever built my latest creation without the earlier work of the following two LEGO guys: - Bruce Lowell, creator of the first "Lowell Sphere" - Bram Lambrecht, author of the web-app that allows creation of any size Lowell (...)
