Nachapon Bricks

Thanks, I am glad you guys like the rendering. rcb all by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Hrontos, you always ROCK!

Sorry about that. Yes, all transparent bricks are no AA for reduce rendering time. Origin res=3840x2160, total randering time 3 hrs on i7 notebook (7 cores, 85% used)

LDD2Povray: Eurobricks 3rd LDD RCB by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Please try 9.52728338° & 80.47271662° (sum=90°) This case only two free edges, so can use hinge align tool to make the angles, too.

How long is the right edge? Angles will change with the length of it. Could you post LDD file or pic?

You can use windows's calculator. Choose View->Scientific mode. For example the 34.92° click [3][/][10][=] ->0.3 (3 & 10 are studs length) then click botton [inv] then [sin^-1] = 17.457603123722092290246045792445 17.457603123722092290246045792445 x2 = 34.91520624744418458049209158489°

Now I understand what you mean. Sory for my bad english. So please consider to add the check box, or let solid color parts/ trans parts (/chrome parts?) have their own slider for adjust their level of detail.

Then the trick just do what software can not do yet. I mean is it possible to add a checkbox to LDD2POVray GUI which will disable "ONLY" beveling of transparent parts when checked? 1600 x 1200 rendering time 40 minutes only. The idea is to minimal only the quality of trans parts is not very noticeable, but can save a lot of rendering time. My link jedi bus by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Are there any features of pov-ray or ldd2povray to allow: trans parts=minimum quality while non-trans parts=maximum quality by render just one time only?

Maybe you have to see the full size pic (1600x1200) on flickr to see the different.The final pic is trans parts without bevels but others parts full bevels with Lego logo.

Maybe I did something wrong so I though it didn't replace all the same decors. I added two more focal blur circus pics above (rendered one time only). I agree with you that the blur trick requires more manual work and may not realistic. I will try to divide more different layers of blur by LDD group function on top view. Hope it will looks more realistic. I tried to find a way to speed up trans parts rendering without losing quality too much. Speed up trans parts render trick,Total rendering time 28 min 1600x1200 by AMD Phenom 9600 @2.3 ghz (Total rendering time 10 min for 800x600) The final pic (#1) is result of 5 min quick post-process of 2+3+4.(1600x1200 no AA, all) 2= all parts/ ldd geometry/ 11 min 3= trans parts deleted/ all bevels/ 16 min 4= trans parts chang to black/ no light/ 1 min (use as selection mask) Is there a way to render trans and non-trans with different quality automatically to speed up the rendering?

Thanks. Could you please add an option check box to apply all same LDD decors to same custom decors in next version? (only have to select the custom decor once when you have hundred of same kind of replacements.) In some case, post process focal blur is faster, and can adjust strength of blur in real-time. Quick render the blur mask by delete non-blur parts, disable all light, LDD geometry, +ua. Post-process focal blur mask by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Custom decors divide idea: 11 custom decors and 4 post process decors. (Not sure the wings color should be white or grey?) LEGO 4000012 piper airplane by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks, the crash videos are funny. New Rails for high speed turn (train, mine cart or roller coaster). http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/24903# Standard R 40 studs/25 degree tilt turn rails. new rails copy by Nachapon S., on Flickr

#9 About 40% of the shark's lower part is photo.

More new rails for roller coaster or mine cart. Twist rails for fast turn comming soon. Pic: 2nd post below.

Update new cone parts above. Can connect round plate/brick/shaft/tile or new round tile at the top. This idea can be apply to all angles of cone parts. The round red one comes with engrave for nail and hollow stud for easy remove.

Thank you for nice suggestions. If you like some of my new pieces. I am happy if you only support the 2-sided one: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/2750 Because new pieces projects are difficult to earn vote on cuusoo. Some engrave tiles no need to be able to tessellate so I didn't combine those project (and cuusoo limit 5 pics/project only).

Thanks you, I will try to combine them like the log cabin below. Thank you, I will try to combine all of roof ideas: smooth(no half plate steps) / 2 sided / pattern. LEGO log cabin bricks v4 by Nachapon S., on Flickr
