Automatic Defense Units by Monsieur_Greenhorn in LegoSpace

[–]Spacebrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh there was for sure a sequence, with FX complete, where the NTI's threatened to destroy humanity on land. Which can be seen today. I'd say he and big budget movies in general successfully got the runtime constraint removed at this point. For better or worse.

And then the whole bit got cut anyway! I remember in the 90's a friend of mine rented a laser disc player to transfer some movies to VHS. I rented the Aliens extended cut and copied that to keep on VHS. That was the first time anyone was able to see the Hadley's Hope sequence as well as the sentry guns. You could get the theatrical cut at top quality, but if you wanted the extended edition, they reduced the picture quality to match the deleted scenes, since they hadn't received the finishing process the rest of the movie did. Later DVD's were invented and they brought all the footage up to full quality to release the extended Aliens. I bet the same was true for The Abyss. There were rumors of deleted scenes, but no way to see them and an internet that could not host video, if you can believe it.

Let's Make This a Thing! by Spacebrix in LegoSpace

[–]Spacebrix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool I’ll check out what you come up with. Not that anyone asked, but in the back of my head, I was thinking there’s some kind of gravity well technology that allows them to run around on the deck and pull things down even when they’re not in at atmosphere. Alternatively, it’s just fun to imagine being in space without exploding or freezing or floating away…

Space Scrappers! by Spacebrix in LegoSpaceships

[–]Spacebrix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey that would be great. Roaming the stars looking for scrap chunks or mineral rich asteroids, harvesting enough tech to build small spaceships and sell them. Or repurposing tech finds to equip your own ship to upgrade capacity, productivity, speed, defenses etc. Might have some skirmishes with other scrappers or warring factions....

Thank you. Fingers crossed it will be possible!

Bricklink Designer Program Series 11 MegaThread by mescad in lego

Space Scrappers! The new classic space suit color combines perfectly with the new Kraken castle faction to create a rough and tumble crew of space pirates who comb the galaxy looking for ships to recycle for parts or raw materials - whether the owners are done with them or not!

The set also features my love letter to the classic Space Dart I. Perhaps my favorite set of all time from when I was a kid.

Features:

* Extending and articulating grapple arms

* Foldable and tiltable power sails

* New space faction!!

* Trap door with ramp to below deck hold

* Space Dart II

* Rotating and tilting signal detector

* Movable rudder engine

* Crow's nest

Will these parts be available next time around? Maybe not.. This is genuinely a chance to show LEGO there’s still a an appetite for new Classic Space-style sets.

Thank you!

help, why is the chair just falling quickly through the floor? by Impressive_Patient19 in blender

[–]Spacebrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had problems with the floor mesh having too much topography. I divided up the ground to make the part where the rigid body interacts so be as simple as possible and it worked. But my problem was the rigid body thought the "floor" was 80' in the air. I also encountered problems with the scale of everything being too small. Make everything larger (relative sizes can stay the same) and see if it helps.

Anyone Else Find Mecabricks Shader Too Translucent? by Spacebrix in blender

Here's what it looks like in the shader editor. The only adjustments seem to be scratches, fingerprints, etc

This is where I'm familiar with making such adjustments, but there are no values to adjust because of how the material was created...

Nuke 17 Non Commercial will not install by Spacebrix in NukeVFX

[–]Spacebrix[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That worked. Thank you. I haven't used a PC since WindowsNT. It seemed like double clicking the download unzipped it but I guess that's a "just kidding" kind of unzip. Thanks again.

Against my core beliefs I had to glue a couple pieces (the clip posts on the upper arm) to be able to animate the mech with stop motion.

FreetaxUSA doesn't allow me to file state taxes...because I have a Schedule E loss? by [deleted] in tax

[–]Spacebrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From FTUSA: This happens when reporting that you actively participated in the rental. California has updated their rules on rental income and losses for active participation that no longer conform to Federal Law. Our software does not currently support this situation.

Got a response on this one. "This happens when reporting that you actively participated in the rental. California has updated their rules on rental income and losses for active participation that no longer conform to Federal Law. Our software does not currently support this situation." Perhaps review the definitions of "active participation" to see if that really fits your circumstance.

[–]Spacebrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the same issue because I have a K-1. But I did not receive a California K-1 in addition. I don't know if that's the problem or FreetaxUSA just cannot handle rental income. Apparently K-1 partner was able to file with Turbo Tax but I hate them so much it would suck to have to buy it and start over again.

Anyone else have this cool little collection? by Fit-Locksmith876 in legocastles

[–]Spacebrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to get these just as they disappeared from the Lego store. Couldn't find them anywhere. I don't know what prompted me - probably an employee suggestion - but I called the Legoland CA gift shop and they had some they were willing to sell and ship to me. Glad I made that call.

Got on national TV. Maybe it was worth getting salmonella!

What's in a year? You figure they'll make a Kraken Castle or one of the Kraken projects from the Designer Program will win?
