  1. Probably not, but I could be wrong, I'm rendering LDraw models and this also happens with my images. But as stated before, I render at a larger resolution than needed and resize. This takes care of the problem in most instances.
  2. 674 Forklift and Truck - Town Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lmxh85s7phs91y0/674.ldr
  3. All Lego "Classic Space" sets released in 1979, most of these are duplicates however. 442 Space Shuttle - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....xn3fy81/442.ldr 452 Mobile Tracking Station - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....s4oybn1/452.ldr 885 Space Scooter - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....vzwb64x/885.ldr 886 Space Buggy - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....94f53uy/886.ldr 889 Radar Truck - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....32c8nlx/889.ldr 918 One Man Space Ship - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....jfonvqa/918.ldr 928 Space Cruiser and Moonbase - Space Download: https://www.dropbox....tzuoenf/928.ldr Tiny mistakes in the render for 928. Missing 2x plate 2x2 to join baseplates, and the transyellow bricks have centre studs. These errors are not present in the ldr file.
  4. It's supposed to fit inside your house . It is beautiful though.
  5. I made a quick render of one of your models. As you can see the colour is correct. Are you using the alternate colour includes? I believe C3POwen refers to them on the first page of this topic.
  6. 21011 Brandenburg Gate - Architecture Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/00oxnrd8d7cxaaj/21011.ldr
  7. 7181 Tie Interceptor - Star Wars UCS Download: https://www.dropbox....7k1r8i/7181.ldr Jester beat me to this one, but I decided to post anyway. Finally got Povray 3.7 running on my mac .
  8. I'm normally not into playsets, opting for UCS, but this is just plain gorgeous. The force is strong with this one...
  9. Very nice guide, hope I can get my hands on a windows machine so I can experiment. I tried some alternatives on my mac to import LDraw into Blender but they didn't work out.
  10. I don't see the need to print "custom" lego bricks. Isn't the fun of lego trying to create things with all the "limitations" of lego. If you can print custom parts to build, let's say a lego car, why don't print the real thing? The beauty of MOC's lie in the fact that people come up with new techniques or use parts in new ways to create things thought impossible with lego. If you can just print a stained glass window instead of somehow putting transparent bricks together all the fun and creativity goes out that same window. Just my thoughts.
  11. Fixed in the .ldr file. Will run render again shortly. Thanx
  12. Making technic models in bricksmith is challenging to say the least, however.. 8045 Mini Telehandler - Technic Download: https://www.dropbox....k8y12r/8045.ldr Errors: The wheels are not yet officially available as a complete part, so some tinkering was necessary (and that shows) Edit: Corrected render and .ldr file
  13. As far as I can see the part you are looking for is Technic Suspension Steering Link 6L It is not yet available as an official part, it's still waiting to be certified. You can download it however, I believe there is nothing wrong with the part and will be certified. Here is the link http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/57515.dat Download it, place in the correct folder with parts and update your parts list (I'm using bricksmith, so i am not sure how tot do it with other programs) and it should be available in your program. Just know that if you decide to share the model file, most people will not have the correct part and it will be omitted from their model.
  14. http://www.indigorenderer.com/content/great-lego-render-schosch Would you be able to tell, if you didn't know it was fake?
  15. I am looking forward to that post, I'm researching and trying, but i've got the feeling that you have a deeper understanding of pov-ray than me. Your recent render of the AAT with HDR lighting shows no signs of the HDR probe on the floor, and background even with the low camera angle. I am unable to solve that part, the washed out colours are a side effect of HDR. Maybe photoshop or something similar can solve that part. But I must agree with Dornbi and Palathadric, your guide made me start this "hobby" if you can call it that.
  16. Well outside the lego domain it has been done numerous times, just look at your average Hollywood blockbuster. CGI is basically rendered models, just take a look at the latest Transformer movie. All the bots are renders. Inside the Lego domain, Legolijntje posted a good example of one. But I think with enough tinkering and trying we'll get there eventually.
  17. You are right, i'm probably a bit frustrated that my renders take generally a lot more time than the 45 mins his take. I've been tinkering as well, but HDR lighting has a drawback that you are limited in your camera angle, and it affects the colours of your build. I tried an HDR probe taken on a glacier, and the build got an bluish glow because of the ice. But in some instances it's great, and sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a render or real, but I find that the Blender images have a certain "crispness" to them, if that makes any sense? Mine turn out with some sort of haze, blurring the colours.
  18. 10182 Café Corner - Creator (modulars) Download: https://www.dropbox....n59bz/10182.ldr Errors: Male minifig torso not available, replaced with 973p03 I'm interested as well, after your first post here I tried my hand at Blender as well, however I couldn't get it to import my models. I'm working on a Mac, but after seeing your latest results with Blender I'm going to install Windows as well (I presume you are using Windows). Povray seems outdated and outgunned alongside your renders.

  22. 21009 Farnsworth House - Architecture Download: https://www.dropbox....e25oz/21009.ld Updated picture to a more neutral tone, instead of the blue-ish one.
  23. 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! 10026 NABOO STARFIGHTER - Star Wars UCS Download: https://www.dropbox....3udr2/10026.ldr 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
  24. 487 Space Cruiser - Classic Space 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......... High resolution render: http://www.brickshel...lassic/487o.png
  25. 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. I already know the render looks good, because I had to stop it once already at the 200hr mark . 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.
