The Disco Chronicles

It started out as a test to see if I could make a disco ball work, but then I got a little carried away

Beauty. That was very clever and I loved the effect!

So yeah, I'm back from my mind.

Re: The Disco Chronicles

Great effect!!!

Re: The Disco Chronicles

I did that in Pirates Rule! mini/smile

Except I used a different piece, from the top of a Knights Kingdom Tower, which is basically a big half blue disco ball. I love that type of lighting effect.

Good job on the animation, too. mini/smile

Hmm... I suppose if two of those pieces could be put together... But how would it attach to the celing?

Nevermind. The only way to do both of those connections is to cheat (poster putty or masking).

Anyway, it looks great! That famous disco dance move (whatchacallit?) at the end inspires me to make a test improving my old version of the same movement.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

Re: The Disco Chronicles

that was pretty awesome!

The disco ball itself wasn't even a lego piece, I think it's actually like a little trinket that's supposed to go on a key chain.  I have no idea where it came from, and I just kinda found it when I was cleaning my room one day, and I wanted to make a video with it.

I know. I wasn't saying that's what you did, I was just trying to see if it could be possible to make a disco ball out of those Lego pieces. I guess I wasn't that clear on what I was talking about.

Okay, but how did you do it? Rotate the ball a couple of degrees each frame?

Re: The Disco Chronicles

Yup, I just rotated the ball a couple of degrees each frame
