When LEGO bricks get seriously twisted

  • Sometimes even I think I’ve exhausted the interesting possibilities in certain bricks, but then builds like these happen and I’m genuinely shocked at how simple, and absolutely astounding they are. I suspect there is no end to the amazing builds yet to be discovered-and I will keep trying. : )

    Piece counts for all Twisting Towers (in 1x2 bricks):
    Blue Twisting Square: 2816
    Yellow Twisting Triangle: 2496
    Orange Twisting Pentagon: 3520
    Build Height: 124cm / 48.5in in 128 layers
    Note: I did sneak in a few 1x1 bricks at the top of each build to even out the top layer so these are not pure 1x2 brick builds-but they’re dangerously close.

    What I love most is how the solid color makes the structure look completely homogeneous, but then the light sweeps over it and reflects off of the individual bricks in almost a scale-like or pixelated pattern, it just feels so unreal.

    • @MergeMechanic
      @MergeMechanic Год назад +19

      Yeah, I was saying to myself the whole video about that I love the way light reflects off of low-poly things. Of course, this usually takes place in video games, but also in real life. Like the indentations in a door, or shattered glass on a bar's floor(wanted to say "..., or the blades of grass on the forest floor, neither of which are very low-poly. 3d prints- however, are usually more like this. Juuuuust wanted to make a little rhyme :) ).

      I only recently learned what makes an “illegal” build for LEGO; but isn’t that specifically for like competitions and featured build events?
      When it comes to stuff like this I can’t imagine that even the diehards are gonna make a fuss… … … actually never mind; when I was watching the first part I recall thinking aloud “and a thousand Master Builders are screaming in unison ‘you aren’t supposed to strain the bricks like that!!!’”

      ​@@TheMulToyVerse From what I understand 'illegal' just means you should avoid it if you want the bricks to last because it can damage them through undue stress. Sometimes that doesn't matter as much as doing something cool 😊

    Very impressive! As usual, the repeated doubling of the primitive assembly leads to a surprising shape, while making for a succinct video presentation. Each of the towers you built appears to be just shy of a complete half-twist after 5 doublings (32 copies of the primitive), independent of the number of sides. I'm curious if I'm mistaken, and how many more layers are required to complete the half-twist?
    Also, the camera shots down the tubes are awesome, and it's always good to see caveman-for-scale! 😎

    • @BrickBending
      @BrickBending  Год назад +9

      I haven't done the math, but each type of twist covers a different percentage of a full rotation. There are many additional variations possible as well. I've just scratched the surface.
