EDIT: thanks, i ve all in

Hi everyone,Firstly, im french and in fact, i have a bad english, and Google translate doesn't help not enough about it... sorry in advance !So i would like to present my WIP about a diorama projet. Its school project (FX school), and about lego's brick i dont know much...I need to have information about spécific bricks i found on diorama or project lego picture (and have a lego design must better). I use Maya 3D and i create the lego's brick with spécific cotation / mesure.I have found Some people who worked on district 9 project, and i would like realised the same mecha suit but i have not the bricks In real life, and i dont know much the different bricks which composed the mecha. Lego Junkie sparkart I saw the lego designer model on this forum, its could help me to create the mechaSome bricks created ( ive created 20 differents bricks praticly)For exemple:(Its just screen for show what support i used and how

The Mini Figurine, render just with Ambiant occlusion

And a preview of the renderview used on an other work

Of course, the shading will be different ( plastic matérial)

Hi :)

in response to one of you i posted other picture fo give you a best result of the render picture.

I use Mental ray like render view.

If you want, the week i will post one of the work, realised at shcool.

And i repeat, its a full creation, without bricks ready made,

The concept is to composed the bricks (previously created) to do a diorama like you do in the forum, i used lego designer but i dont find all the bricks which composed the mecha suit (see the picture sparkart)

Hi,

In case you're not aware of it, the bricklink catalogue page is a good resource for identifying bricks: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P

Identifying parts from your pic with the question marks from the top:

1) Orange 1x2 plate or maybe a http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3794b

2) looks like a regular 1x2 dark bluish gray tile

3) regular 1x2 brick

4) joints from top:

- ball and socket,

- Possibly http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2921 or similar

- click hinges http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=44302

I hope this helps

I too would suggest mental ray for Maya, but if at all possible, give Vray a go. I find the latter gives the best results for the types of renders you'd see in a project like this (often up close).
