Well, here it is, another day, another blog, another rave on about how i love cheese. but seriously, though i've been doing some pretty cool(but nerdy) stuff recently. i've been messing about on this neat piece of software i found on the internet called "lego digital designer" and have been building plastic toys that turn into (wait for it, wait for it) plastic toys! and then i've been doing cgi movies with them. here's a link leading to a short transformation for one of the baddies(Deceptibircks)
http://pic7.piczo.com/becauseiwasbored/?g=32824163anyway, here's the basic storyline:the Autoblocks and Deceptibricks have been battling it out for thousands of years. while caught in a dogfight in our solar system, they are hit by a giant meteor that crashed into earth, wiping out the dinosaurs. they went into deep comas, and awake in modern day lego-earth. quickly, they take form as local transports and devices, and continue the war. the heroic Autoblocks are led by the mighty Blocktimus Prime, and the treacherous Deceptibricks are led by the evil Brickatron.I actually need somehelp with this, 64digiters!here's the jobs i need help with:theme song(similiar to the "transformers" theme tune, but legofied)character designmaking a video game tie-in(don't get me wrong, this isn't a commercial venture, i just think it would be pretty cool)script writersif anyone wants to help, please PM me!
I´m pretty good at character design, but i´m not gonna make lego-men for you! Also… How the HECK do you "legofy" a song?
you don't need to make me legomen, they're all done in cgi! ytoujust have to come up with ideas, eg. names, disguises, sides,etc.
and you "legofy" a song by changing some of the words to lego related ones!I can´t help with the song then, as i have NO idea, how the transformer-theme sounds. I can do some scripting, but i don´t know anything about your game… It´s kinda hard to help with something, that you can´t see!
try the link, it has a short animation showing skyfire transforming. also heres a link for the rock version of the theme song:

It sounds kinda boring, and i don´t like transformers…. They are too… (a word that are supposed to describe, where meant to be placed here, but my "data-base" couldn´t find any partial matches, so therefore: This message)
yeah, i know. that's why i'm doing a mockup.
Wow, I didn't know Lego still had the Digital Designer available. I remember reading about the first one a long time ago, (and I have Lego Creator, which was an earlier version, only cooler, and glitchier) but now it seems there's a version two…
That's pretty sweet, especially since I don't want to spend the outrageous amount of money they want for Lego sets these days… -.-Anyway, your idea sounds good, but not as cool as the real Transformers movie coming out. ;)The real transformers movie is probably goibg to be good, but they ruined optimus prime! they took away his faceplate and stopped him being a semi-cab! and bumblebee's ruined too!
A piczo site!? Do you have no dignity???
no, i sold my dignity for 50p
