A new item on Lego's web site. Here's the link... (URL) disappointing thing is that they have once again given the Mac a cold shoulder. I would hope that the USB camera is standardized? If there is such a thing as a standard USB digital camera? (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) Wow! The Lego studio looks fun and will likely spawn all types of creative Lego movies. Perhaps an innovative 'Lugnetter' will start a Napster-like movie search engine or an independent Lego film site! Perhaps one day we can have a Lego (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jun-00, to lugnet.general)

Yes, they do make such software, but it is never advertised and rarely mentioned in any of TLG's PR material. Generally speaking, when you wish to garner support for your product, you let people know it's available rather than make them hunt for the (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.general)
