Title: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on April 30, 2010, 06:54:59 pm
From KZ:

The First LDD Contest is here!

In this contest, you can build anything using LDD. ANYTHING.

The prize is 3 rep and a yet-to-be created award, and all participators will get 1 rep as with most contests.

Rules:

You cannot use LEGO Universe mode in LDD. You can, however, use any other mode. All parts of your model have to be connected-sometimes all it takes is a baseplate. Make sure to take screenshots of these parts of the model: Top, bottom, one side if symmetrical, all sides if asymmetrical. No plagiarism, and no stealing random models you found on the internet.

Post your links to your entries here, post your creation topic in the MOC Corner.

Both Blade and KZ will be the hosts here.

Discuss the contest in here.

I will enter. But only problem: I am gonna have to enter a model I have already made (a black robot, or something else) because we had to get rid of it for memory space... :(

But I'd love to enter one of my older models. =]

k', and no, I haven't joined any other contests. When does it start?

It starts now; and ends Midnight EST on May the 21st; unless KZ wants it to end Midnight of his time. =)

Post by: Shoots Da Kine on April 30, 2010, 07:28:10 pm
Alright. Let me see if I can find my LDD creation.

EDIT: Here, check out the blue alien/or other things, doesn't matter: http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/Gallery/default.aspx

EDIT II: Errm, on second thought, just look up my username there, then look at the blue alien/said above. =P

Updated Entry list with indy's model in my first post in this topic.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 01, 2010, 01:42:31 am
I have a couple of questions, due to the fact I still can't get LDD on my pc, though I have notified Lego as to my problem. I left them my eMail address, but I still havn't heard back.

I would love to enter, first question is, how many times may we enter? Some contests allow multiple entries.

It would seem that past creations in LDD are allowed, but may I enter one if I don't have the screen shots. In other words, take for example my pony truss or water tower or train shed. All were designed in the older version of LDD and I purchaced the bricks and built and display them all on my train set. May I enter without screen shots providing I prove they are LDD creations. In other words, using pictures.

Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on May 01, 2010, 02:07:42 am
I would hope that if we have them posted in the gallery on LEGO.com, a link to that would be a good start.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 01, 2010, 02:13:01 am
This maybe off-topic, not sure, Hey MsRR, good morning, do you know how to find the Gallery and Factory because I can't seem to?


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on May 01, 2010, 02:31:15 am
"Factory " is now "Design by me", and many of my creations seem to be missing..
here's a link..
http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/Gallery/default.aspx


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 01, 2010, 02:50:59 am
I knew that, but thanks, you did help me find my creations, they're all still there


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Kritzelei on May 01, 2010, 04:22:26 am
Hmm... This sounds like a contest I might enter... I'll get to work on a model. :)

Geh, sorry. Is it against the rules to post an image like that? ???


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Magical Girl Mimi on May 01, 2010, 09:06:42 am
No, I think he just meant that because you didn't have access to any more images, it was excluded from the rule...

Also, KZ may overrule me on this, but I'm assuming this is only 1 entry per person. ;)

MsRR: That would be good; but there is a problem with the way the Gallery works and all, and how you can't exact just link to a specific model(Which is why in that respect, LUCL and the NXTLog are way better. ;) You can comment on those as well.), that may be a little hard to pull off. It would help though.

Yeh. I don't really care if you can only post one entry; doesn't matter. :P Thanks.

Oh, ok. Sorreh.  My bad. :P


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 01, 2010, 02:32:15 pm
Thanks Blade, I got it, one entry per. I still need to know though if I can use an older LDD creation and submit it with a link to the MOC topic here where I would show pictures of the built model instead of an LDD sreenshot.

I still am unable to get LDD on my pc

No more posts eh, here I am, ready to wow, and this is my entry...

My Water Tower....http://www.mlno.org/index.php/topic,6459.0.html


Here it is Ladies, my entry, I would have preferred the pony truss, but hey, I gave the ladies the power.

The pony truss was the most difficult build I ever did, the water tower was a close second, there are elements in both that would curl your hair.

Anyways, here's my entry....The Water Tower.

How many entries could one person enter at most?


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Trijhak on May 02, 2010, 06:04:59 am
Entry list updated.

@Lionytai: Hmmm... one. More models would give you a higher chance to win, and that's kind of unfair for people with one.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 02, 2010, 02:23:02 pm
I have a favour ask of one of the mods, hey KZ, could you merge my double post here on page 1, sorry about that


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Trijhak on May 02, 2010, 02:26:13 pm
I'm not a mod of this forum-I can't merge posts here. :)

Looks like Blade already did, thankyou both

Entered. I also uploaded it to the LDD Gallery. Also check out my topic in the MOC Corner for more pics.

That's four entries. Let's try and get more.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 02, 2010, 06:13:27 pm
Awesome wilson, so let's get busy like KZ says and make this the biggest build off ever...what are you waiting for, an engraved invitation? There is no better satisfaction then knowing you created something from your own mind, and kicking a whole of other Brickers at the same time, the more we Brick, the better we'll feel eh. That's what Lego is, period end of story.

LDD contest 1.

It has LDD in the name for a reason.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Sim533 on May 03, 2010, 05:51:40 am
I would enter one of my old simply creations but give me one more day to get a pic of it. (It's pending at LU creation lab.)

How is that?
(Just asking cause I thought Legodac posted two different entries, actually the URL were the same, only the names were different. Sorry Legodac.)

Post by: ab§olute_Z3R0 on May 05, 2010, 09:17:06 am
Ugh. LDD stifles your creative abilities with loads of lag which shouldn't even exist even on fast computers as well as a limited choice of bricks.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Trijhak on May 05, 2010, 10:02:51 am
^Haha, hasn't even heard of LU mode in LDD, have you? Doesn't lag for me... or for most people I've met, for that matter.

I'd like to enter as well.

didn't think you had LDD.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Teresa Lisbon on May 06, 2010, 01:37:15 pm
Just re-installed it, and saved it to a different place on my computer. Seems to work fine.


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on May 07, 2010, 01:23:07 am
I am going to have to try that... can you PM me where to save it?? Thanks!


Title: Re: LDD Contest Number 1 -- Build ANYTHING!
Post by: Legodac on May 07, 2010, 04:00:27 am
Hey Jade and MsRR, which ever one sees this first, could you do the same for me please, thanks alot eh  :)

@ lionytai, no problem pal, you'll never need to appologize to me. Oh, and btw, this makes us even, you speeled my name wrong this time. Like your stage name, mine also begins with a lower case L.

Anybody wanna guess why I did that?

Well I'll tell you, by using a lower case L in my Lego username, I just saved me and the rest of the world, one less button to push.

Am I considerate, or what.... :D :D


Special note to KZ and Blade about Sim's entry, I'd like to leave a comment in MLNO's MoC Corner, but I don't think Sim has made a topic yet. The link is just to his LU module on his MLN page.

Ah, I see, but your profile has a capital L. Sorry for using the capitals.



I am going to enter as well, I finished my model, just need the figure out where the best place to upload is.



I'm entering my creation.
