Thanks.

I’ll see if I can find some more NXT 3d models of parts and cables and things.

@rednerrednelb:

Sure, why not. Real credits should go to someone else – I’m not author of original NXT models – I’ve just imported them to Blender, added materials and did some basic clean up. Unfortunately I don’t recall who did the originals – probably some Sketchup user.

However, I’ve made all robots and additional models.

You would find a blend with NXT elements here: http://klik.pl/NXT.blend

Yeah I like to see what people do too, but I was missing any explanation why this animation was posted here (why it is so special to show it to everybody). The text melon wrote in his comment should have been in the article itself. With that text included the post makes more sense. That’s all.

Happy blendin’

Yeah! Cool video.

We’re doing a challenge with LEGO Mindstorms at school.

Could you maybe provide a blend file of the components please?

@Backiz, Hi. :-) Personally, I’m glad Blendernation has mentioned it, I love to see what people are doing with Blender. Without this news the community doesn’t get informed and we all miss out on something don’t we? Regardless of our particular interest in the project.

Nice vid, made me chuckle… made me want Mindstorms NXT even more… thank goodness society has become more tolerant of ‘boys toys’ in adulthood, or kidulthood.

First, thanks for posting :) I’ve never expected this little animation reach Blender.org news page :)

It was made in Blender entirely – that includes post-production, mixing sound track etc.

The movie may seem a bit senseless when took out of context. It is actually a part of bigger project, (first part is at http://vimeo.com/6177008 , next parts WIP). All parts are used in e-learning project for children, so I’m trying to make a short, funny intros to several subjects. Lego NXT, in this case.

Blender is a great tool, it’s fast, flexible and covers most of my needs, as CG artist. Putting those anims on Internet I was hopping to convince people (some are still not convinced;), that Blender could be useful – despite it’s free :)

This 5 minute clip WAS produced with Blender, and most of it is LEGO animation starting at the 1:30 mark.

If it wasn’t made in Blender, it wouldn’t be shown here. No need to explicitly add that.

What is the point in this animation? No text about a possible blender course either. A robot runs verry fast across the screen and then something explodes…
Sorry, but I don’t think this is special news.
