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.

Thanks to everyone who came to the video premiere. It was a lot of fun. 😊
how many bricks it you use?
He used 2816 I believe
Love the thumbnail change!!!!!
I like ur vids
This looks so illegal
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.
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 :) ).
It really reminds me of of the EMP in seattle
🤬

Pixels. Mmmmmm. My eyes feasted well.
This is beyond illegal, and very impressive.
The inside shots are mesmerizing!
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!!!’”
Bruh Lego has a warrant for this guy’s arrest. On a international level.
@@YourAverageCringeTH-camr you are mistaken...
On a galaxy level
@@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 😊
The inside shots make me expect to see James Bond firing at me from the other end
I think this is one of my favorite pieces you’ve made. It really looks more like art than a Lego build.
Thank you.
To be honest I’d say it and a lot of other things on this channel qualify as art.
They push the boundaries of what’s possible within an outsider sculptural medium (LEGO)
Building sculptures out of LEGO is like unlocking the inner child architect in all of us. Who needs an IKEA instruction manual when you have a pile of colorful bricks to create unique and magnificent sculptures? Now, if only LEGO could solve our real-life building problems just as easily.
imagine if you see a destroyed building and a few weeks later the whole left side of the building is just colourful legos
@@saucepan300 there are some buildings like that in I think Germany or Denmark
Make giant metal Lego for building 🏙 and 🏢
This is art, I would go to a museum to see these pieces
it always starts out so simple, with a piece here and a piece there, then it just turns into such amazing art. i love the reflection and texture, and the sweeping curves. always so beautiful.
It''s like he wants to show how a ton of simple things can create something highly complex. Kind of like in a computer...
The simplistic magnificence of this build made me order 1500 1x2s to build my own.
These videos are always a lesson in machining tolerances. You can get it close; sometimes damn close, but it is never perfect... And when it's not, this guy comes along to turn your tower into a spiral. It is a good lesson for engineers.
This guy is really getting some good use out of his cloning machine
This ain't even illegal building techniques anymore, this is a lego felony 😭
All your builds never fail to amaze me. I love these so much, I'd put them around my house for decor
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! 😎
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.
Projects like this ought to be headline news.
Wow, there's something about this one that strikes me as "beautiful architecture". Excellent work, despite this being one of your simpler builds.
Its a real tower in dubai
Art! The tipping point where the resulting shape / visual becomes more important than the materials the object is made from. This was stellar brick bending.
when you think it wont get any taller for the 4th time, he brings two more with different shape and color :D love it
It will be so mind blowing that that one vein in your brain explodes from the exposure of what had blinded you of such mind blowing lego builds.
This man is very dedicated to showing nothing but his arms and hands
Definitely some of the most beautiful forms on this channel!
I wonder if this is what Penrose feels like, but there should be Lego in a material that can handle brick bending and not be ruined afterwards.
Inside the blue sculpture at 2:35 really gives me flashbacks to the Forest Temple in Zelda OOT.
The blue sculpture reminds me of skyscraper designs like that of the Evolution Tower in Moskow or the Cayan Tower in Dubai
And of course the Shanghai Tower
The insides of all these looked SO nice! Super satisfying patterns!
I love how the lights reflect off of the bricks! It's like bonus flair!
The way it reflects light is absolutely mesmerizing.
The inside shots were literally jaw dropping for me. Incredible!
outtakes where parts snap would be cool, like a compilation
If I were watching a sci-fi movie and these things were just randomly rotating in the corner of some room I would not question it
You are probably the sole reason LEGO are still in business!! Like how many pieces do you have, I thought I had a lot, but damn my collection looks pitiful compared to just what you shown here
Every time I thought it was done, he kept adding more on top.
Adding the previous amount of blocks is always so satisfying to watch
This guy will forever be one of my comfort youtubers🥰 God bless youtube
I love the lighting and the presentation!
at what point will this man learn his limits
Amazing!!
Love how they make that cool design when you look down into the tunnel!!
You could make a really neat skyscraper for a Lego city with this technique! I wonder if they make 1x2 bricks in metallic colors? That would look really nifty!
1x2 plate with teeth is the only metallic I see that should work. It'd get prohibitively expensive quick.
At .12 each, but as plates they'd spiral tighter and the teeth would be an interesting touch
It looks like a modern skyscraper, I like it. 😃
I have been binge watching these videos for the last 2 days and they are just proving to me that the universe could be recreated using only Lego bricks. This is insane
This looks like it would be a really cool looking sky scraper, dunno how safe it'll be though
The view inside is fantastic! Cool video.
Those inside shots look like math rock album covers
It looks like what a year 1 architecture student would make
You're back!!!! Welcome back, mind blowing video for sure. The tunnel views were awesome 👌
The inside shot is trippyyy!!!
There's a tower in a roundabout that's just like the first sculpture in my brother's city, It's shorter tho, but It's still really cool to watch as you go around It!
is your brother by any chance from the uae
The first one reminds me of that weird Prism thing from Evangelion. It looks so cool. I love it.
These remind me of the book fair when they would sell the long eraser
So glad to have found this channel! Thanks for these brick bending ideas for my crazy skyscrapers!
Thank you for sharing
Everthing on this videos Is stunning
I love how he keeps doubling the additions
The light reflections are like a pixel art animation.
That went from lego building to a sculpture fast!
I really like the art shots at the end
Absolutely brilliant. With a little extra rigging I could see this incorporated into a lego city as a postmodern skyscraper!
I am so glad you did the inside shot, it was like the Twisted rooms from Ocarina of Time
2:33 Nah man that's crazy, your videos are so cool the way you bend mere Lego bricks into magnificent structures, Respect.
when you have enormous amount of bricks and patience, you can do just about anything that imagination flows. I have none.
Excellent roll of the orange tower 😁👍
I seriously believe that, if given enough bricks, this man would make an entire building out of legos, and then make a non Euclidean world out of the spare parts
Me baked af every time he doubles it: 👁👄👁
Wow. These are just gorgeous.
my anxiety shot straight up when pushing down on the tower without holding the middle or anything
Somebody come hire this man to work for the official Lego creators
Amazing! I want those internal shots as my desktop wallpaper!!
Its mind blowing how he even thought of such ideas, that it is possible to make such things with Lego. Hats off to your creativity!
You must be a very, very patient man.
Very awesome!
I can't even imagine what this dude's house looks like
truly masterful. great work
Awesome, as always
Actually gorgeous. They should make a set like lego but for art and/or sculptures basically!!! Its so fascinating!!
if i made this first one as a kid i wouldve been so stressed out about the bricks snapping
So many lego pieces have probably been broken from these videos
If this guy can summon lego pieces,he would create entire realm
I'm always very satisfied with these videos, but I will admit... I'm glad it wasn't another wheel. Thanks for sharing!
I've never wanted to go out and buy 8448 lego bricks so bad in all my life.
2:36 I’m getting Forest Temple vibes.
i love the first one it looks like a skyscraper
Wow, i think i want to build one of these as a lamp
There should be a new lego series - lego sculpture! It's amazingly beautiful and aesthetically pleasing
this guy is the last brick bender
I really love that these are made with such a humble, ordinary brick. What we call a two-ie in our family.
2:35 perfect wallpaper for desktop/ipad
*this man destroys the pure construct of reality*
man. you broke the limit of lego
I love your videos! Keep it up mate!
The shine is truly impressive
Agreed. One of my favorite things about these.
Those builds louder than my knuckles
They get a lot louder
Im sure 😂
when he pulled out the other two i was just like "he's a man focus, commitment, and sheer f*cking will"
Imagine if this channel was someone's only intro to lego.
"Oh, the twisty plastic bits? For making circles and stuff?"
Incredible. I know this is not really your thing, but how amazing would it be to build this kind of thing with gray, stony bricks and put windows in it and make a gnarly wizard's tower?!
The fact it rolls is surprising until you think about it. Also why did I feel like the bricks were going to break?
Shinji! That angel is building a drill to get to my browser history! Get in the damn robot!
this feels like its from a dream
I think Brick Bending and Relaxing end are brothers 😂
It's all the brand new bricks you use. New Lego, your building skill, a little lighting, and viola! a masterpiece.
A few scuffed up bricks made it into the build at first, but they were really easy to spot and remove. I didn't want anything to interrupt that amazing surface. 😊
Love the videos! Do you save the builds you make? You should definitely have a gallery where you put all your builds on display! Maybe you do already! Keep up the good work!
0:04 MY GOD THE MAD MAN'S ACTUALLY GONE AND DONE IT
2:32 that looks like something straight out of a movie…
