Superkalle Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Hi LDD geeks Just thought you might be interested in some LDD statistics from Eurobricks (up until June 2, 2010). - Since the start of the LDD sub-forum a few months ago there have been 1003 posts and 67394 views. - The LU mode activation info has been downloaded 3382 times. - LDD users have now re-created 84 official Lego sets in LDD. - There has been four LDD Design Challenges and one (soon) LDD Design Contest I think that's pretty amazing. Just a few months ago there was nothing, and now this. Quote
ADHO15 Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Nice post, Superkalle. I agree that this part of the forum has really shot up in interest recently. Will you be updating this topic, say once a month or so? It might be nice to see how it develops. Quote
Randal Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Ever since I started visiting this forum, it has helped my comic considerably. Mainly because of the LU mod (I can definitely say I was one of those downloaders counted) and added readers, but also because of tips and other information gleaned from reading all the topics provided. There has also been at least one instance where using a couple of the previously mentioned official set lxf files has kept me from being horribly late with an update. I agree with ADHO15, it would be nice to see those stats updated on a regular basis. Is it possible to use an algorithm in BB code so that they just show the latest numbers? As for ways to expand this section of Eurobricks, I'm thinking of starting a tutorial thread for people who would like to make their LDD images look better than the raw screen captures. It will help with colors that wash out, to make them look more defined... And as for transparent bricks, there is a way to make them look less ghostlike and more like transparent lego bricks. Quote

Zorro Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Great stats, Superkalle, the still new LDD forum is becoming a real success, much thanks to you and the other volunteers involved in this. That upcoming grand contest won't be bad for this place either ! Quote

You should make an iphone app i bet it would be popular Quote
Superkalle Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 As for ways to expand this section of Eurobricks, I'm thinking of starting a tutorial thread for people who would like to make their LDD images look better than the raw screen captures. Absolutely brilliant idea! This would defintely be a super topic at the forum. How to enhance the model and how to optionally place it on some nice background. I'm sure a lot of people (including me) would like to learn that. Quote
Jan Posted June 3, 2010 Posted June 3, 2010 For me this part of the forum was reason to register. And @Randal, looking forward to see your tutorials. Jan Quote
Superkalle Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 OK, it's June 18th. Last measurement June 2nd was 1003 posts, 67000 views and 84 official sets made in LDD. A few weeks later and we're up to..... 1371 post and 96700 views and almost 200 Official sets in LDD Holy Macaroni Quote
Ras 74 Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 This is some awesome stats for this new corner of EB. Looking forward to that tutorial as well Randal Quote
Superkalle Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Latest stats for the LDD forum: 18th June we had 1371 post, 96.700 views and almost 200 Official sets in LDD One month later and we're up to 1786 posts, 136.000 views and over 340 official sets created in LDD. Add on top the contest with 70 entries, some of which are just amazing. Thanks everyone for making this a great place for LDD-talk. Quote

prateek Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Update August 18th 181.000 views 2484 posts 450 Official sets in LDD Wow. This is insane. In 2 months we've doubled every category. Quote
Superkalle Posted August 18, 2010 Author Posted August 18, 2010 Wow. This is insane. You took the words right out of my mouth! Quote
vynsane Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) It's the Universe Mode info - that's why I joined, initially. It's funny, because without EuroBricks, I wouldn't know about Universe Mode. Without Universe Mode I wouldn't have been able to design the MOC I entered in (or even known about, for that matter) the LDD Design Challenge, and without entering the LDD Design Challenge + Real Bricks category, I wouldn't have come in second place!

Jan Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Wow. This is insane. In 2 months we've doubled every category. Wow as well I think this is a good reason to give this LDD forum part a proper place in the forum structure. Under the special interests for example and not just as a sub-dot hanging under the general discussions and news Quote

prateek Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Yepp, maybe the time has come? Maybe, because all my attention that used to be directed to LEGO General Discussion and News is now all on LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools. Quote

Randal Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 All roads lead to Rome... According to Terry Pratchett, all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork... >_> Quote
Superkalle Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 Update November 19th 350.000 views 4544 posts 694 Official sets in LDD Good work everyone! I also noticed today then when you google for LDD and LEGO you get 63.000 hits, and our LDD forum is on the 5th place. The four first hits are the official LDD sites at LEGO.com. Pretty neat, huh Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Totaly cool! Nice work guys! It's nice to see how we're progressing with the Official Sets in LDD, though we have much work to do before we complete it. I'm pretty confident with the dedicated LDD builders, we'll get there sooner or later. Quote
private_lego Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Very impressive. Although it will be hard to get higher in ranking than TLC Quote
