wtf i hate disney now

>>6429655
i cant believe they missed an easily obtainable opportunity to name it Duckpool

I missed the amazon prime glitch

Anons got away with UCS sets for more than half off.

>TFW no 100 dollar UCS Death Star for the rest of my fucking life

I can't get over this. I'm getting anxious because I wasn't fucking able to get these broken deals. People ordered 3000 dollars of city modular sets for 1000 dollars. WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT.

It's technically Howard the Duck. They get fused but Howard retains the personality and control of the body.
I do think "Duckpool" was used more than once during that comic though.

Built Kylo a tryhard edgespeeder. It's loosely based on a Halo Brute Chopper, mostly in it's swivelling front half. The trans-red saw blades are somewhat rare, they were only available in a few sets in 2002.

I was able to find one of these old X-Wing console pieces. I think it gives it an old-school lego feel as well as a bit of a Tron feel. I wanted to put in handlebars, but felt that would have made it too thick.

>>6429790
Goddamnit, I am so gutted about this.. I really was expecting it to be at least 3x the size of that, maybe twice at most.. without the damn legs either, I dunno I wanted what I saw in the trailer, this does not represent that. Fuck -.- Disappointed

>>6430563
"Bat" isn't an adjective. "Hot" is. If I said "This is hot country", you'd think my english was broken too.

"Not very hot country" isn't proper english either way, and thinking there's an "a" missing makes more sense than whatever you intended.

Men look more stylish and presentable/mature when they [not] wearing shorts.

Wearing shorts make you look like a teenager from america. Where is your skateboard, teenager from america?
Take your baseball cap and a skateboard and leave this building. Only grown up men with presentable fashion sense are allowed.

He looks awesome, only suggestion would be maybe go brickbuilt for the feet as well, other than that, really good proportions and color scheme!

>>6431438
The preparatory work (designing the campaign, building the set, and creating supplementary documents) is comparable to writing a one-shot DnD scenario. It took a week or so, a few hours a day. When Funtron wraps up, I'd be happy to share the design documents from that process.

Most of the work in running the game is ad-libbing the results of often unexpected player actions and then writing the text for the posts. The writing takes the longest, as with the novel excerpts and the like. There's no post-processing in Funtron except for that one flashback sequence, but if you're aiming for a less shoddy presentation style, that would take more time. I try to set aside evenings for Funtron, and it has run longer than I thought it would. I love building, writing, and GMing, though, so it's been great fun and I'd recommend it if you're thinking about taking a go at it. I hope that's not too much of a text dump for your question.

>>6432820
Very cool. I'd cover up the chest openings with these:

And what's with the shoulder bits? they look good but I'm wondering if you've some technobabble in mind to explain them.

>>6432972
Maybe LQ can answer this better, but if you wanted better post processing can't you use a standard set of settings? Probably with the RAW editor in photoshop.

I kind of want to run one with more emphasis on building and character customization during the quest. Might be too much work to do while the thread is up, though.

The other sets are based on Han Solo a Star Wars story(21 April 2018-sets).

>>6432992
I'm just exporting from my phone and resizing for expediency. LQ is by far more experienced in that field, so I'd also be interested to hear more about his process.

For Funtron, I drew from co-op games like Say Goodbye to the Villains or Betrayal at House on the Hill, which is why I chose to use a selection of premade characters instead of a character creation system. For your building/customization, were you thinking of a party of customizable characters shared by the posters, or something else? I don't think it'd be prohibitively difficult to include those sorts of elements, though it would entail extra work compared to something like Funtron's WYSIWYG equipment.

>>6433031
>8 Han Solo movie sets
Is that movie so good?

>>6433032
Ideally it would be a party of characters that gained identity over the course of the quest, based on the player's choices.

Yes! (^•^)

>>6433032
LQ has a series of pictures that explain his setup and how he does his pics. Id dig them out but my PC is acting strange as fuck right now, too scared to even attempt. Hes pretty forthcoming with them though, so you just have to be in here when he pops up.

>>6433050
Well, considering Rogue One was shit, but we got like 15 sets out of it, seems like its par for the course. Movie could be a total bomb, but because of the STAR WARS moniker, well get a full line out of it.

Meanwhile Doc Strange and Antman get one set each. Guardians 1 got treated a bit better though, wonder what that was about.

>>6433050
The lead of the movie is male again,that's why.


I want that list for Infinity War and JW2.

I enjoyed RO more than TFA(ANH 2.0)

>>6433099
Sorry /tv/, not today.

ANH2.0 got a billion sets, and ESB2.0 (now with penguins) will get a trillion.

I dont care either way. More gray boxes and SkormKroopers for me.

Although, as I said, I do wonder why Guardians 1 got 3 sets while Antman and Doc got only one? I know Antman was a gamble, but Strange had Bend a Dick in it, instant female audience. Instant Hobbit audience. Antman one set and Strange and Guardians both 2 sets would have made more sense.

File: fantastic lights and where to find them.jpg (87KB, 800x600px) Image search: [Google]

87KB, 800x600px

>>6433360

This is what my Legoverse looks like from outside time and space. I shoot really high skies, wide vistas, and other angles that make using a real lightbox impractical, so I turned my room into one. Those two pole lights each have three bulbs on them, regular CFL bulbs on the top two spots and UV blacklight CFL bulbs on the bottom ones. I got the lights at Walmart for $20 each. If you can't get your hands on stand-up lights, the main thing to making your pictures look good is understanding bounce lighting.

TO BE CONTINUED in next post

79KB, 800x600px

>>6433362

Here's the way the lights are positioned when I'm shooting something. Those paper circles attached to the lights are homemade baffles. They block the light from shining through from the lampshades, and are extremely important since I couldn't find more appropriate lights that already had opaque black shades. The point is, you need to make sure that you can control the direction that light is being emitted from, as I will elaborate on in the next post.

Thanks! I keep thinking about that, I'll have to try it out eventually but I'm worried I might throw off the proportions or not have the right pieces. I also just threw the blue in recently, he was just gray and yellow before but I think I'll keep the blue. Never built a mech from scratch before.

82KB, 800x600px

>>6433363

In this picture, the red arrows are the hard, direct light that's going directly out of the lightbulbs. Thanks to the positions of the lights and the baffles, most of the direct light is aimed away from the table. It hits the walls, the ceiling, and all the other crap in the room and turns into a softer, more ambient light, represented here by all the yellow dicks aimed down at the table.

File: balanced try it.jpg (162KB, 800x1200px) Image search: [Google]

162KB, 800x1200px

>>6433365

In this comparison you can see the difference between aiming a light source directly at the set (top) or using bounce light (bottom). With a direct light source, you get a lot more reflections off the surface of the pieces, and it looks more like a toy. Creating ambient light makes it seem more "real" and immersive.

The last time I posted this, someone pointed out that the bounce lighting was causing a yellow tint because the walls of my Lego room are not white. That was fixed in Photoshop afterwards with a simple click of the Auto Color tool.

>>6433366

This is especially noticeable on minifigs, when a direct light can cause vertical bands of white light across the face that blots out the printing.

Here's the same shot with and without direct light.

>>6433368

However, direct light can be used when you want to simulate the sun at a very low angle, as long as you have enough bounce light coming in from elsewhere.

Happy to take questions and I hope that helps!

>>6432976
Thanks! I thought of using those parts too but I didn't like the gray breaking up the yellow. I could always reverse the entire assembly that the arms connect to but then I'd have to lose the little vents on the back. And the bits on the shoulders were supposed to be some sort of cannons but I mainly threw them on to balance out the small shoulders, I think they look silly in any other position.

>>6433373
>Thanks! I thought of using those parts too but I didn't like the gray breaking up the yellow.
You could also use boat studs. I think they come in yellow.

>>6432835
>giveaway contest?
That's what I was thinking.

I hate taking pictures of minidolls because they're not as articulated as minifigs so they're a lot harder to pose evocatively.

>>6433376
Unfortunately I don't have any in yellow to try it with but I don't mind the gaps for now, they could be air intakes or something.

>>6433166
DC already has 3 comic book sets for January, then 5 more of TLBM (+ a second CMF series) and I guess 2 Aquaman sets? So it's still even.

Does LEGO own copyright on the dimensions of their bricks?

My buddy said that cobi and everything that is compatible with LEGO is by default clones, while I said that they're both plastic building blocks since LEGO doesn't own the patent on the blocks themselves but then he said that LEGO owns the dimensions, and anyone that is using the same is a clone.

Alternatively (or if you're posting renders, like me), you could add the glow yourself.
I start by covering over the portions of the image that I want to glow with the corresponding color (using Swooshable's color chart) on two different layers.

Ninjago City is totally cyberpunk. They nearly admitted to taking inspiration from this MOC (pic related) called Cyberpocalypse.

gee. How people even questioning themselves if Ninjago is a cyberpunk.
Whats next?
You will be arguing about what is a Nexo Knights - a steampunk or a techno fantasy?

Not as bad as being told ten hours later that you can just make another order at the same store, and as long as the seller hasn't changed the order status from pending, the new items will be added on as a second batch

>>6434164
Wrong. The Geonosis Pack includes 2 Phase 1 Clones ,Ki Adi Mundi and Coleman Trebor.
Also,Lego General Cat Edition when? Ninjago Movie trailer anyone?

Just get a notebook and sketch the bricks from memory.

>>6434765
Buy a bunch of ABS and 3D print your own bricks.

>>6431909
I swear these companies must have people working inside Lego.

>>6434349
is that waifig bot showing off a boob?

>>6434765
Stud.io has more parts available to use; LDD has the better UI.

Pick your poison.

Thank you anon. You are always ready to help and teach!

>>6434800
No, just an unused boobport.

If you're gonna use a brick modeling software you might as well just learn 3d modeling. The joy and value of lego is it's physicality.

>>6434787
This one isn't hard, all the molds are available already (and already cloned). All the printing is on the front, even for the head, and can be traced in illustrator in half an hour.

I am really sad that Axl get such Shitty vechicle.

Is this the largest flat piece I can get?
I want to make an aquarium MOC and I'm having trouble finding good pieces for the glass, preferably the largest possible so there isn't a lot of seams

>If you're gonna use a brick modeling software you might as well just learn 3d modeling. The joy and value of lego is it's physicality.
building digitally is a good way to build things when you don't have the pieces and then you can easily order the pieces when you're happy with it
It's dumb not to use all the tools at one's disposal

New trailer for the Ninjago Movie just dropped, for those interested:
