924-1: Space Transporter [space/Classic 1979]

924 - Space Transporter by juraj3579

924.l3b

By coincidence this very set is rendering right now on my machine, already taking 130 hrs! The transparent roof is taking quite a toll. Will post as soon as it's ready. I love the way you place the sets in your backgrounds!

130 hours?! You have a lot of patience.

I hope you've checked with lower settings if the render looks good :grin:

Hm, quite long time :wink: Mine took about 30 min. with Blender Cycles on HD resolution with 500 samples. I know, the transparent material is not that good (especially the yellow one), maybe i'll customize it later. Now, i'm still learning proper lightning and scene integration with Blender.

I plan to recreate all Space/Classic Sets, already have couple of them finished, but not rendered yet. Maybe we can split them if you like, so we don't have duplicates...

I'm looking forward to see your long term render :laugh:

I'm also looking forward to seeing it finished. The yellow transparent plate has taken almost all the time spent so far (155 hrs and counting) but i'm expecting it to accelerate once it's done.

I've got the first four classic space sets ready made with two of them waiting to render. But you can make the models you like of course. I am going to make the modulars next I think, and the remaining architecture sets I haven't made so far.

Looking forward to your next render.

130 hours?! You have a lot of patience.

I hope you've checked with lower settings if the render looks good :grin:

I already know the render looks good, because I had to stop it once already at the 200hr mark :angry:.

That was on an older computer though. Now I'm at the same point at the 150hr mark so my new computer is an improvement, for what it's worth.

487 Space Cruiser - Classic Space

487.png

Download: https://www.dropbox....88tk8ti/487.ldr

Finally, after 266hrs and 31 minutes my render of 487 is done. I'm not entirely happy with it due to a lot of black splotches (see face of white minifig for example). I know how to solve it (increase"max trace level") but that will increase render time.........

The splotches are actually a side effect of using radiosity. "Max trace level" affects transparency and reflection quality, and doesn't need to be set that high. The default is 5, and I tend to use 10.

Have you tried these radiosity settings? They're what I use, and are perfect for rendering Lego, although they can be a little slow.

Thanks, i seem to have missed them in the topic. I've been trying them out on different models and the result can be seen below. I've been learning a lot these couple of weeks!

Tricky render due to the chrome surface, I know there already is a render of this set, however it's incomplete so I thought to try it out!

Errors: No stickers

You probably mean my render, I suppose? :grin:

I had problems too with the chrome, it's very tricky to get chrome a real chrome look with the shiny silver coating. I still haven't got it to look like in real life (or at least close to that)...

Since I've recently posted the B and C models from 5892 Sonic Boom, it made sense to post the LEGO Club build made from the same parts.

10123 Cloud City

cloud_city.png

Cloud City.mpd

There are several issues. Luke Skywalker has the wrong Torso print. Lando Calrissian has the wrong Head print, Torso print, and his cape is not reversible. Instead I put a second cape on him, offset so that it looks like it is Yellow on the inside and Medium Blue on the outside. Boba Fett has the wrong helmet, has no arm printing and has no leg printing. Princess Leia has the wrong Torso print. The 16 x 16 Rounded Corner Bricks that make up part of the landing platform have the wrong number of studs, which in turn cause four of the 1 x 1 Round Plates to "Float" on the landing platform.

7754 - Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser

home_one.png

Home One

There are many issues with this one. First, all stickers are missing. General Madine has the wrong Head and Torso Print. Lando Calrissian has the incorrect Head and Torso print. Mon Mothma has the wrong Torso and the wrong Minifig Hair. Admiral Ackbar has the wrong Torso print. The Mon Cal officer has the wrong Torso print. The Tridax Pod halves that make up the Death Star hologram aren't in LDraw, so I used a 52 mm Technic Ball instead.

I know that Blacktron I has already been posted, but these files are completely error free. I built these as they were built in the LEGO instructions, so some of them are built in sections. All sections or sub-models can be found at my Brickshelf page, SpaceMan Nathan. All are done in LDR format for easy combining and editing.

I know that Ice Planet has already been posted, but these files are error free excepting pieces that are not currently available in MLcad. I noticed the previous listed models had many placement errors and pieces have been added to the MLcad parts list since. I built these as they were built in the LEGO instructions, so some of them are built in sections. All sections or sub-models can be found at my Brickshelf page. All are done in LDR format for easy combining and editing.
