Leocad and Anim8or

(1/4) > >>

ianross:
Make “Lego style” movies using free software. Use Leocad (free software) to create building block models similar to Lego, then import your models into anim8or and animate your creations.
Check my finished movie.

You can download Leocad from  www.leocad.org  do the basic tutorial or you can import your building blocks into anim8or (remember to ungroup them). I got a good result using the 3ds export, but you can use .obj.

 Yay lego.
 Leocad looks like it has a huge variety of bits, and a great free software for those in the mind to build with lego.
 Where do you find your music? (or did you make that), and was wondering what software you use for the space and planet scenes?
 I do have an old copy of universe, somewhere, and that was really cool for making 'still' space pics. Don't see it online with a quick search, but maybe still around if i look a little harder. Was a great free and easy to use program. You could buy a premium version, which had extra functionalitys, but the free version had no limits with saving the scenes that you made. (no watermarks or stuff).

 EDIT: Just found this: http://en.spaceengine.org/
 Looks awesome. (how times have advanced). 850mb so i'll need to wait for next internet data topup, but am lookin forward to downloading it. I see it comes with background music(s).
 Is 'SpaceEngine' something you've looked into Ian?

 
 

ianross:
Thank you Johnar, the music was sampled with a program called Magix music maker silver edition (it came free with a computer magazine).
Space engine is amazing, thanks for the link, but how do you export pictures from the program? ???

johnar:
Found this in the manual, at the very bottom. Shortcut keys.

F11   save single screenshot without interface
Ctrl F11   save single screenshot with interface
F9   start/stop write screenshot every frame ("video capture")

ianross:
Space engine is fantastic for creating space scenes,(easier than Bryce). Thank you Johnar. Please review the results below-
