Hi all.
I'm pleased to announce:
JBrickBuilder
a LEGO builder in Java for LDraw part library.
JBrickBuilder at work.
Some feature:
simple building, like LEGO® Digital Designer™
Useful for small-to-medium models (up to 2000 parts with old low-profile PC, over 3500 parts with newer PC)
In Java, fast and cross platform
Requires OpenGL, but can use entry level video card.
Use connection "snap" for easy building
Uses standard LDraw library
Update checks and notifications for program and connection database
Can load DAT, LDR, MPD and some other LDraw-compliant file formats (LCD, L3B, ...)
Can save in LDR and export to MPD, including all custom blocks and unofficial parts
Support for flexible parts (experimental)
Support for building steps and player (experimental)
Program is in beta, some functions are planned.
Current release: 0.4.1b (2015-06-12)
Program is on Sourceforge:
- Program
- Manual (english, PDF)
- Other information (connection model, development docs)
Short video with flexible part editing demo:
Please read the manual, program is easy to use, but some functions requires a bit of practice.
Thank you.
