AdamSmith Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Chrome + LEGO: You can build whatever you like Tuesday, January 28, 2014 | 11:19 AM Google Official Canada Blog Cross-Posted from Google Official Blog Think back: you’ve just dumped a bin of LEGOR bricks onto the floor with a satisfying crash, and you have the whole day ahead of you to build whatever you want. There’s something pretty amazing about being able to piece together your ideas with just a collection of colorful bricks. Well, we think the creative freedom of LEGO bricks shouldn’t be limited to plastic bins—which is the idea behind Build with Chrome, a collaboration between Chrome and the LEGO Group that brought these colorful bricks to the web using WebGL, a 3D graphics technology. It was originally built by a team in Australia as an experiment, and now we’re opening it up to everybody. So now you can publish your wacky creations to any plot of land in the world. We’ve added a few new features to make it easier to build and explore this digital world of LEGO creations. To start, you can now sign in with a Google+ account to help find stuff that people in your circles have created. A new categorization system for completed Builds will help you sort and filter for specific types of structures. To hone your engineering skills and prepare for the upcoming “The LEGOR MOVIETM ,” you can explore the Build Academy, a series of short tutorials and challenges featuring characters and structures from the film. If it feels more natural to use your hands—rather than a mouse—you can build your creations using a touchscreen on your phone or tablet with Chrome for Android support for WebGL on devices with high-end graphics capabilities. As big fans of LEGO, we’re excited to see what you come up with to fill this new world. Share your creations on Google+ and we’ll reshare the most inventive ones. http://googlecanada.blogspot.ca/2014/01/chrome-lego-you-can-build-whatever-you.html Quote

Members lookin Posted February 2, 2014 Members Posted February 2, 2014 AS let's start a business associated with poop. If you're looking to float any deposits, I'm happy to plunk down a little something into the pot. Let me know if a sinking fund or a lump sum would better keep you flush. AdamSmith 1 Quote
