Seeing you are from Catalonia (Spain): what about placing Messi's face photo as decoration on some of those orange tiles? I guess it could be quite interesting "national-like" final touch to it...
-
Thank you guys for all your input - I appreciate it ...but although I purely visually like the lighter version more as most of you did I will probably stick with the darker one in the end for a while cos as @Forresto exactly pointed out - and that is basically my primary aim (besides the best possible photo realistic feeling) - in that darker one you clearly see much more details tho it is not that shiny, like helmet is not partially blended with the background (overexposed-like) as well as other white bricks, rounded parts have more "rounded" feeling to it and other things like that. Anyway I am still not 100% sure...ah, this is really hard with me all the time: perfection is simply holding me back, gosh (like having 30+ other MOCs ready but not finished still just because of stuff like this)!

But now it looks more like Futuron...it basically is Futuron now, so I don't know but very nice indeed. Oh, and how did you do that in that original LEGO catalog page - did you just use original paper and applied some filter(s) in some image editor or did you actually built it (rendered)?
-
you see this is exactly the reason why one should never make two replies at once: it was meant for the other guy, not you, gee...I am sorry!

Aha! Got it now (probably) + very interesting usage of Whitetron

Well, in such case I am changing my previously stated words "a bit" to "really a lot of"... But now it looks more like Futuron...it basically is Futuron now, so I don't know but very nice indeed. Oh, and how did you do that in that original LEGO catalog page - did you just use original paper and applied some filter(s) in some image editor or did you actually built it (rendered)?
-
It is very nice indeed BUT for even more realism to your renders in this particular case (as it is imitating kind-of film still frames) I would definitely add/use a bit of camera DOF (I guess you said elsewhere that you are rendering your designs/models/frames in Blender, so as you probably know Blender has quite neat DOF feature built in).

Do you mean just switching all the black from original Blacktron sets into white?

Hey guys From time to time I use to play a bit with new rendering light setup for my renders and the latest one (basically still just a prototype of one of the next MOCs of mine) makes me a bit head ache as I am not sure which version - lighter or darker - looks more natural (in a way, of course)...please, tell me what do you think, what is your opinion (thanx in advance for any thoughts on these two)? BTW: I personally favor the lighter one but as I am using white background and there is a lot of white color bricks it may sometime become visibly bleeched at some spots of that color, so I really don't know: do you think it is too obvious (there for it would be better avoiding such version) or could I go with the lighter one anyway? Please, click images for FullHD versions so it is better visible... LIGHTER VERSION: DARKER VERSION:

Cute - now I'm only waiting he starts to sing something like: "Y.M.C.A.!"...you know

OK, understood - I wish you all goes fine as you intend to (fingers crossed as there are always possibilities that something goes wrong)

Very good!

Help with LDD/rotating a whole object
___ replied to tripletschiee's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
No problem + yes, I understand you fully (you were simply creating in LDD 1:1 copy of your real life brick model) - on the other hand you just need to know that real bricks vs. LDD models are "a bit" different things, for example: in LDD there may not be any "open connection" if you want to bend/turn such build cos LDD is not able rotate stuff that has such connections in it (it needs to be all connected for rotation to work). therefore you always have to make some changes in such LDD builds (or at leeast make them temporarily just to rotate your stuff and return it back once you have done it). -
Help with LDD/rotating a whole object

OK, here you go: I had to remove the inner part of the 3rd section (the black one) cos it was NOT CONNECTED TO ANYTHING - it was just sitting there in the air thus rotating did not work - once removed it is working OK...I rotated it as you wanted (see included .lxf file + I put that inner black part outside your model, but if I were you I would rather really rethink that design unless it is some real LEGO model that you are trying to recreate, of course EDIT: I just realized it is a LEGO set). BTW: I am suggesting you to really rewriting your model cos it has so many not needed bricks that only making whole model less "readable" when searching for possible flaws + many of those connection you made there have no real effect in LDD... http://lego.queryen....ne_bublible.lxf -

You simply have flaws in your LDD design: somewhere in the last 3rd section (the one connected as last part) is something wrong: probably it just sit in the air pretending it is connected to the other parts cos when I deleted it then it could be rotated...I am further inspecting it but as your design is quite a mess of a technic bricks it may take a little (if at all) -
UPDATE * added YouTube video showing MOC's modularity (functionalities)
-
yes, as I said it was my mistake thinking it is not there...
-
Right: the "problem" for me was/is that @Calabar did not update initial topic post rather instead posted it as one of its other succeeding posts - I actually was looking at the same pinned topic as you guys, scrolled down a bit but when I did not see the list I thought it is not there (I did not think he would make it like that expecting having it all in one first initial post cos to me it happened to be a bit misleading as you can see, ah - my fault, sorry)

Hey guys What about pinning a new topic called, for example, "Software links" where would only be a long list of all software that ppl posted here in this section so one can find them all quite easily (+ it would be locked so ppl would not be tempted leaving some kind of messages - it would be just a clear shortcut to posts of those sw form this forum section) - what do you think, hm? Also there would only be sw name, short one sentence description and link to its topic here on BR forum - It could look for example somehow like this: Reason: For example, lately I was searching for a sw that exports LDD model bricks into a file that can be uploaded to Bricklink creating new favorite entry in my profile - I remember I saw it here once but I forget its name, author, everything about that sw - now if we had such topic as I suggested it would be nothing easier than open that locked pinned topic and find my sw I am looking for!

Very good - I always adore ppl that are able make this small "picture frames", you know: like some still from a film or something cos me myself was never trying anything of this kind (my interest is elsewhere as for the LEGO) so I find it really enjoyable looking at these sculptures (it just can't be overdimensioned as it quite often becomes kind of norm or something which I find a bit ugly sometimes), bravo (+ what I also appreciate is that castle-space hybrid feeling to it )!
-
I really like it more and more: it is not big - rather compact, it has its own "feeling/flow" to it...actually this could be some small but nice LEGO line (I mean I can clearly imagine this)
-
nice design - I like it (+ I see you were probably inspired by one of the latest Batmobile designs)
-
Thank you very much...actually I am just finishing my first LDD screen-captured set modularity video I am gonna posting it to YouTube today and then place it here as well so anyone can see it in "action" (lhough still just in virtual reality, of course) - hope you all will like it.
