Hi,
I baught LEGO Creator some time ago and liked it, mostly. I was
surprised by the comfort, speed and fun of building. It was very
similar to playing real LEGO. But it had a few major problems, namely:
* Cannot tilt bricks
* Small array of brick types
* Proprietary data format
* Doesn't run under Linux
Looking for a community (for exchanging models), I found
LDraw-compatible apps, e.g. MLCAD. I was surprised by the huge array of
brick types and the large community. But the apps had their own weeknesses:
* No play mode
* Building uncomfortable, because of lacking collision detection
and similar tools
* Building in 3D view impossible
* Editors not scalable to large amounts of bricks
What I want is a game like LEGO Creator, but a bit more professional and
interoperable. I found nothing so far. (If you know an application,
which suits my needs, please tell me about it!)
My best bet is to start a new project, I think. I hope that I can
leverage a lot of code from existing open-source 3D engines and editors,
so the task is hopefully not so huge. Nevertheless, I will need help.
I wrote a mission statement. You can find it at my site:

Feedback welcome. ("Request For Comment")
