[Nachapon Lego]

@SNIPE, Maybe the new gear wheel t8 can be modify by cut off a bit.

The problem is if you do it with that brick you'd need to push the two bevel gears into the 8 tooth gear and that will leave a small gap behind each bevel gear so my bracket idea eliminates that (that's the idea anyway)

it also allows the brackets and the 8 tooth gear to line up with holes on beams by moving the hole for the bevel gears so they are in the right place to connect to the 8 tooth gear without need some odd spacing or needing to cut the gears.

maybe your idea could work with an un- cut 8 tooth gear, and a 12 tooth bevel gear with a washer behind it.

YouTube video of the new AA Roof Tile (Anti-Aliasing Roof Tile).

Compare with standard roof tile.

These new AA roof tiles use standard LDD to create with help of lxfml edit trick only, and can be rendered using LDD2PovRay.

That's interesting, how did you introduced new geometries editing the lxf file only?

This trick can make all kind of simple new parts. But it require LDD ver.4.2.5(or below). The new version will always revert the lxfml geometries editing to defult state, then didn't work.

A quick MOC sample. Please see how this one was built on 2nd YouTube video in post #179 above.

I'm not sure I understand either how you can do this. Interesting though. Can you explain a bit?

I'm a little curious how you did this, could you explain how?

[Calabar]

Maybe the lxf format allow to store custom bricks inside the lxfml file.

A "for future use" feature that never has been used.

bbqqq told he will spoke about that in private with Superkalle, maybe the staff is evaluating if the technique infringes the LDD EULA (as it don't involve the hacking of the LDD software, I hope there are not problems about that).

I know the textures in the Minecraft one were used with a method that breaks the LDD EULA and uses 3rd party software.

It is possible both to add custom textures and custom bricks without to breaks the LDD EULA, samples below. ;-)

All of the LXFs below can be shared, and open/render correctly in any standard installed LDD.

Doesn't this use a lxfml file trick (that I was messing with last night)?

Thank you for your post.

Yes, five LXFs above use lxfml file trick only.

Special thanks to Superkalle for discuss with LDD team.

I am allowed to share some LXFs new parts which are not too closed to breaks the LDD EULA.

You can save each of them as LDD's template or groups for easy use.

I was surprised how simple the AA roof tiles were made when I saw them up close. Still curious about the Minecraft blocks though.

[LUModder]

Okay, so I made some possible AA slopes that may or may not have uses in MOCs

This is somehow the first time I've found this post! It's amazing what you guys can do! But what about some of smaller bricks? Newer or older that have never been used. For example in the new Ultra Agents or some old bionicle pieces?

[henrysunset]

This is a great thread. Kudos for the author for posting so many ideas and responding thoughtfully to everyone's feedback. I have my own ideas for new parts, but nothing as grandiose as this collection!
