New Bricks. Kites, Shards, Fins and more!

We activated 40 new bricks today. First up are eight gorgeous and gothic “Fin” bricks (above) as suggested by truth14ful. truth14ful also requested the four new “Kite” bricks …

… the 8 new “Shard” bricks …

… and 4 “Propeller” bricks.

Thanks for such a wonderful group of suggestions truth14ful! These are all simple and beautiful geometric shapes which logically complement the existing brick set. I don’t think any of them could be created with the current compositing or stacking options.

“House” Bricks

The so-called “house” bricks could be made as composite bricks, but it’s convenient not to have to do that. djnippa and others have been clamouring for house-shaped bricks for ages. Sorry its taken so long!

Extra Corners

Finally will.i.ૐ suggested these small corner bricks, and logic demands them!

All of the new bricks shown here were requested in the suggestions thread on the unofficial user forums. Thanks again to demonics for taking the initiative there.

Changing the brick palette (All Bricks and My Bricks)

Despite the growing number of bricks, we decided to keep the brick palette more or less as it is for now. It’s simple and does the job. But we have added a new option to resize the palette horizontally. This may help users who have a very large number of bricks in the “My Bricks” window to get an overview.

Happy FontStructing!
