3D Lego Bricks

In this blog post we will use Glowscript to create a 3D animation representing the various Lego bricks.

Our aim is to recreate bricks by joining several cubes and cylinders (studs) together. We will then create a compound object to join these 3D shapes together in a single object (brick). Finally using an infinite while loop we will animate/rotate the brick around itself.

Here is our 3D animation: (Use Google Chrome to preview this animation)
