Nachapon Lego Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) For some simple set, only one picture is enough as a building instruction. (flickr original pic size 2048x1536) Just found LPub version by canon03 for download here (pdf 10 pages), the builds are exactly same. So both of them should be exactly same as the official one. http://www.bricksetf...ft-instructions lego duck 2011 building instruction by bbqqq1, on Flickr Edited May 29, 2013 by bbqqq Quote

Classicsmiley Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Are you doing all of the recoloring manually, or do you have a way of automating it? Quote
Nachapon Lego Posted May 31, 2013 Author Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Are you doing all of the recoloring manually, or do you have a way of automating it? 1) Create groups for every building steps manually. 2) Set camera angle. 3) Hide them all. 4) Use delete tool, one click to delete "bricks" of 1st hidden group in group tab (do NOT delete the group itself). Then undo, only the first group(step) will be unhide. 5)Take screenshot. 6) Use paint tool to recolor the group with just one click. 4.1) Delete 2nd... repeat 4)~6) until finish.

Calabar Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 We should find a better title for this topic! bbqqq, any idea? Maybe "Instructions in a single image"? About the image in post #2, maybe a final image in "natural" colours would complete it! Quote

About the image in post #2, maybe a final image in "natural" colours would complete it! I agree with you Calabar, Please change the topic. And good idea for "natural" colours for final image of image #2. It not optimize yet, should be higher quality and less steps. I found another usage of rendering mask technique.
