Nachapon Lego Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Found a fun way to make huge lego classic simcity style rendering image. All we have to do is render every modules with same light and iso camera setting without background. Each module have to be render 4 times for 4 directions (N/S/W/E). Than just combine things together using image software. vean 's lxf 10246-1 - iso view render test (4k) by Nachapon S., on Flickr lego iso view render test by Nachapon S., on Flickr Modular Buildings lxf source 10182 - Cafe Corner - by Vee - 10185 - Green Grocer - by Man with a hat - 10190 - Market Street - by Johnnhiszippy3 - 10197 - Fire Brigade - by Man with a hat - 10211 - Grand Emporium - by Johnnhiszippy3 - 10218 - Pet Shop - by P4trickvH - 10224 - Town Hall - by Sjuip - 10232 - Palace Cinema - by Stephan - 10243 Parisian Restaurant by kcoon Edited January 14, 2015 by bbqqq Quote

The actual render of this one is four stories only (22 min). Then clone it to become 8K pixels image.

nxtstep101 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 This is really useful, thanks for sharing. Just one questions: how did you get such a large model to render in only 22 minutes? I've rendered stuff 20 times smaller than that and it takes just as long. Quote

Umbra-Manis Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 I thought my computer was glitching on that image. Great work! Quote
Dilvish Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Nice thread! Too bad the recent SimCities are 3D or you could import those buildings as sprites. Even after 30 years, iso still looks nicer than most 3D. Edited February 4, 2018 by Dilvish Quote
