M2m Posted May 4, 2021 I have a relatively huge moc which I split into several sub-groups (sub-mocs). Now for the sake of getting one picture of the full moc I want to create separate pictures of the sub-moc and 'stitch' them together later in Paint or Photoshop. The challenge: How do I ensure a similar sizing in all my sub-mocs (i.e. that bricks are similar sized), so I can evenly stitch the pictures together. I hope you understand my question. Any help appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1963maniac Posted May 4, 2021 It seems to me you would want all pictures to be taken from a single point of view and distance. That way stitching them together will look right. Maybe I need to understand more about what it is you are working on. Is this a digital file or actual plastic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M2m Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) I am talking about digital files. Let me make a simplified example. I have this moc - Moc1: And I have this moc - Moc 2: Both of the above pictures where generated in Stud.io Instruction designer (default settings). As you can see they are scaled differently (because obviously their size differs). So if I simply stitch these to pictures together I end up with this: Now if somehow Stud.io instruction designer could be modified or set to render all parts at a similar size (of course then different models would end up in different picture sizes) I could easily stitch the pictures together likes this: This would be simpler then to scale the pictures in a Paint or Photoshop. I hope this makes it clearer Edited May 4, 2021 by M2m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supertruper1988 Posted May 4, 2021 As far as I can tell the "percentage" in the instructions page is based on the page size and DPI. You may be able to "fake" out the program by creating very large "pages" that have a set percentage but are multiples of each other in size. Like A2, A3, A4 for example.

Sadap Posted May 7, 2021 Why don't you copy all the sub-files into one big file for rendering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mylenium Posted May 7, 2021 I don't think you can do this easily in Studi.io. Interestingly you could do it in LPub 3D by manipulating the camera and scene scale properties in the script. Anyway, as a long-time 3D artist here's a trick for you: Place some other objects around the model at known distances. We used to sometimes place invisible cubes around stuff to get "fit to viewport" functions to cooperate (back in the olden days, when redrawing a screen took several seconds and you couldn't swoosh around in OpenGL). In your case you could likely place some 1x1 tiles or round studs at fixed positions in each of your models to force the automatic camera calculations to produce an equal zoom and FOV. With your large models the should appear merely as easily removable pixel dots or disappear entirely upon rendering. Mylenium Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
