LDRAM is my software for creating brick movies using LDRAW<\/a> and POV-RAY<\/a>. \u00a0LDRAM (named for LDR<\/span>aw A<\/span>niM<\/span>ation, and becasue it turns LDRAW upside down) provides a scripting language that takes a scene and actors created in LDRAW, repositions them, and renders individual frames. \u00a0It then takes all those frames and combines them into a single movie.<\/p>\n

This program is not yet ready for distribution – there are still some things that I would like to add in – but it does function. \u00a0I have set it aside for several years, having gotten busy with other projects, but it is something I feel I should get back to. \u00a0Here are a few examples (I have not posted the scene files, just the motion scripts, since it is the scripts that are what I am focusing on. \u00a0The scene files simply create the models).<\/p>\n

This first scene is long, and does nothing for the first five seconds. \u00a0Then on brick will rise into the air, move to the left while rotating 270 degrees, and then lower itself back down onto the other brick.<\/p>\n
