Hi all. I've been browsing MOCs for a few months now and always feel disappointed when I discover on closer inspection that what I thought was a real Lego model is actually a render (a computer generated image). I don't mean it's a big issue here on Eurobricks. This is the place for general Lego discussion so I thought I'd post my issues with and questions regarding virtual Lego renders here. On a lot of MOCs it's not stated by the builder that it's a render. I feel that Lego is a physical medium and I am puzzled by small virtual models. I often think what's the point? If you want to build a German Panzer in a 3D program why not just model it in 3DS Max, Lightwave or something? I mean I can understand the need to design something first and then build it with real Lego. Or the desire to see what something would look like if built from 100 000 bricks and you are a kid and don't have the funds available to purchase the bricks required. Why the little models though? I don't get it. I could paint an oil panting of a wonderful MOC but that's just a good painting, not a good MOC. Why is a render any different? Maybe this is an old debate but it has me curious as to what other people think about Lego renders.
