LPRIZE, anyone? :)
As far as my students, it’ll probably be a case of them designing in whatever
package they want (even, gasp, REAL LEGO) and then one or two of them figuring
out how to make the design over again in LDD for contest upload. I doubt at this
point in the semester many will want to spend time learning another modeling
system, but you never know. Hmm.. maybe I’ll learn LDD and charge a conversion
fee.. Lessee, if you win, I’ll take 1/4 of 1%.. LOL.

I agree, it’s palette ala what an artist uses, not pallet
ala what your winning model design will be shipped to you on (if you order
500 copies, that is) )

Yeah, I guess only Daniel Siskind knows how incredibly cool it would be to say
you “designed a set for LEGO”. I’m sure a lot of my kids will get into that.
Making the contest “micro” is great too, as a lot of people think you have to
make huge stuff to be “cool”.
Just bounced this off the Head of the Architecture Department (heh, that sounds
funny), and he’s pretty jazzed about the concept. Anyone hazard a guess as to
what 5% royalties for 6 months might actually turn out to be? Or is $100 a
good guess?

| (...) Say (conservatively) these are placed in 1,000 retail outlets worldwide (include S@H as one) Each sells 5 sets per week. Since these are micro, with a small piece count around 100-150, estimate price at about $10 Designer earns 5% of each (...) (20 years ago, 9-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.lego, FTX)
