Blakbird Wants MPDs for Possible Renders

[DLuders]

"Blakbird" has made outstanding renders of many official Lego TECHNIC Sets, and posted them on his Brickshelf folder http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=372132 . He has 50 different sets rendered on that website (some of which appear below). He wrote,

"Renders of Technic models -- Please feel free to send me more MPDs for anything I have not rendered. blakbird11.nospam@comcast.net ."

Many of the renders appear on his benchmark "Technicopedia" website http://www.ericalbrecht.com/technic/ . If you have a digital model file for a Technic set, he could probably convert it. His work is impeccable.

Blakbird, I know that there are sets made with LDD in the "Technic" category of Post #1 of EB Topic http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41226&st=0&p=727293entry727293 . More LDD models are being added all the time....

Actually, there are about 50 just on the first page, but there are 3 more pages if you scroll forward, so there are almost 200 Technic renders. One is running right now!

I've never used LDD and don't have time to learn it at the moment, so these will have to wait for another time.

These are really good, well done.

Eric, I use Sergio Reano's SR 3D, it's right? Do you need some medium-little model of second half of Nineties?

Yes, I can read SR3D files. They should be compatible with MLCAD. If you look through the Brickshelf folder, I am basically interested in anything I have not already rendered. My goal is to render every Technic model, and of course I also use those files in the preparation of my Technicopedia.

I could not find BlakBird's recent thread requesting MPDs ... but while browsing bricksafe for his (amazing) renders, I noticed the 8450 was not there ... I have a 90% complete LXF if anyone can make it into LDR/MPD. The missing parts (panels) are not available in LDD.

The topic you were looking for is this one. However, I cannot use LDD files, only LDraw files. The conversion does not work reliably. In addition, I'm not including the Cybermaster stuff in Technicopedia at this time so I don't need 8450. Thanks for the offer though!

Thank you, that's exactly the thread I was looking for.

A side question: Is there a way (within eurobricks) to tag few threads and make them your 'favorite' and available anytime you log in?

Not that I know of, but you can "follow" a thread and be alerted any time there are new posts in it.

Thank You.

Just save the link as a favorite in your explorer, that may be your best bet to keep favorites organized. I started doing that with both eurobricks and bricklink :)
