Author Topic: Crate Bricks  (Read 11468 times)

So wait, is the one on the left that looks like actually bricks the brick, or the texturless one on the right?
     Anyways, I don't think this really has much use, but it does have some uses. It will lower brickcount a little, which is always nice.

Their both single bricks except the one on the right is the smooth version.

You should've made it look better, not exactly like the brick version


No offense, Jes, but I don't think the Brickcount is the real concern (though most people claim it is). I have noticed that if I have more BRICKS, but fewer visible rendering FACES, I will lag less. This has too many faces on it that are rendered no matter what. When I make crate piles, I tend to "fill in" certain inside sections to reduce lag. Even if we could "fill in" the side parts here, it wouldn't help because those are omni quads.
That being said, I remember a version of Minifig V2 that when placed would essentially "plant a macro" for the entire minifig. Perhaps if you went that route instead and made this as a timesaver rather than a brickcount-saver-that-lags-me...

I sort of just made these because I wanted to get better at brick maker and had no better ideas of what to make.

Useful only when you are too lazy to build an actual crate. This can save time.


the smooth one looks nice but the other one is useless, should only be the smooth one

Wow, I was expecting something that actually looked more like an actual crate rather than something that could be built with bricks in 10 seconds.
Useless.

Not useless at all people. It is a whole brick, and can be activated and made disappear all at once. saving having to name bricks and build or dupload the structure.


Cool, this can save a lot of brickcounts.

Yeah, If you have some sort of Giant Warehouse DM or something.

Why would you make a BLB of the worst possible way to make a crate?

Crates like this are seriously ugly


If you're gonna make a crate brick, make a crate that doesn't suck.  Don't make a crate that does suck easier to build..
