HOW YOU CAN MAKE LEGO RENDERS LIKE MINE! | LEGO Art!

[@AsianStudioss]

This is really helpful way for me to be making LEGO pictures! I’d probably will do the Blender Method just so then I can learn Blender 😂

[@TommyCBricks]

Asian Studios that’s a good strategy:)

[@NuiiCashy]

How’d it go?

[@MemeVortex24]

Is soo hard to find tutorial like this this is the only one i found for making images😊. I love the rig add on, i would love to see a step by step for the blender part the lighting, shading part etc.. cause this was like a fast video😅 i made it this far

[@v4verav]

i think i have found the greatest youtuber, kind, makes good content, likes lego, plus makes tutorials on some things he does. amazing, clap it up.

[@TommyCBricks]

Thank you so much :)

[@nioxn]

Cool! I think your very talented, keep it up!!!

[@BlixBibitz]

Wow, just wow! This looks amazing!! Thank you for sharing this with us, this is gold! I'll for sure try out and make some mocs on blender.

[@TommyCBricks]

No worry's doing my bit for the community :D

[@maxsan8232]

I was going to way the same thing!!!!😆😆😆

[@making-things]

Ummm. This is awesome. Thank you Tommy! Appreciate you sharing your deeply held secrets.

[@slushysplash8801]

Thank you for this video man. I have made a lot of builds on studio and wanted to make the renders of the builds more ‘lively’. I also want to learn lego animation in the future, but everything on it’s time😅. thank you tommy.

[@JasonDavey]

Love.this! thanks so much for taking the time to explain your workflow! Definitely going to follow through...

[@collybollyproductions9534]

I wish I had the talent to do this. It looks amazing

[@TommyCBricks]

its not talent its time and practice I believe you can do this too :D

[@legobrixz]

Start with a donut!

[@Zazool]

Oh damn I'm gonna have to do this for one of my future blender renders, such a cool idea!

[@legocreator768]

ahhhhh, no POV-Ray? The results from that look good too ^ ^

[@martintillemann]

I use blender to render my LEGO Ideas projects!

[@TommyCBricks]

Yeah I did that same thing :)

[@Lloydthegreenninja734]

That's Really Cool

[@nathonso_edits]

I have no idea how blender works, but I'd suggest changing where the sourse of light is because Ash is directly in front of the fire so should have some kind of silhouetting effect yet he looks like he's completely front lit like there's some huge light source directly in front of him

[@MoonBoots1980AD]

This is really cool! I have to try this; wasn’t even aware of Meca! Will also support the ideas set 😎👍🏻

[@TommyCBricks]

Thanks So much Means alot!

Great video, some useful tips in here!

@@TommyCBricks I am currently working on a MOC so might do. They definitly look great after you used blender :)

HighTeaToys is it the green house one on your story? :)

[@HighTeaToys]

@@TommyCBricks Yea, amongst others :P Really need to get round to actually finishing them though.

Thanks for these amazing tips! Definitely trying this out!

[@theblackdragon4424]

I myself find it better for when in am working to use Eevee. But do change to cycles for rendering

[@KristenWhere]

Watched the whole thing- thank you so much for these tips! You’re great!

[@JustinSBarrett]

Made it to the end. ;) Great walkthrough! I used Blender ages ago, but I've been thinking about getting back into it lately. I just don't know when I'd have the time. So much going on!

[@fifatjejen7908]

Thank you

TommyC Bricks tips on starting out a channel? I just made one and I really want more subs!

[@TheBrickBuildingEnthusiast]

@@bixbricks5599 Try making content appealing to many viewers. Have good quality and try to make you're videos so everyone can enjoy. You could also mention you're channel and what you do on different videos and ask people to give their opinion on it. But only do it a few times because it won't be good if people see you everywhere trying to promote you're channel. Hope this was a bit helpful.

[@CattopyTheWeb]

Cool render

[@sveilien]

Agreed, I never share a single render without a Camera Raw pass.

[@aashishg5837]

Nice work!!

[@nuzz_adey]

I can’t wait to make Lego album covers

[@Xenomurphy]

Amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.

Thanks!

[@joshuaanthony2884]

You know that you can also do it in Meca's part manager option, as If... 😀

Thanks for the helpful video! Also, is that little big planet music in the background?

How do you import custom mini figs

[@JC-cn7uy]

This is awesome! I have been watching your videos since the Hogwarts Express video, and I really hope you reach 1k soon, you deserve it! I started using Mecabricks and blender to render my lego back a few months ago but I found (after about a month of frustration) that you don't have to keep adjusting textures in Photoshop to get the position right, but you can import custom textures into Mecabricks by clicking on the part manager (or just look up a tutorial) and it lets you download the templates for the lego parts so you can make sure it is aligned right. Also, I found that if you want to avoid your renders looking blocky and the edges are too sharp, you can go into Blender before you render, press "a" to select all and press the object button (top left) and look for the button that says "shade smooth" and then it will smooth the edges, looking more realistic. Keep up the good content, I can't wait for the instructions of the Ford Anglia because I am definitely going to build it! I hope you reach 1k soon!

[@TommyCBricks]

I Know you can and if I'm honest if I was to remake this video I would tell people to make there custom prints in meca as its so much nicer then importing them in to blender without getting a nasty outline!

[@TommyCBricks]

Thanks for kind word about reaching 1k I'm 4 subs of it atm so I'm hoping to hit it very soon I'm working on 2 big things (not for 1k just in general) so will be making a video in it soon!

[@JC-cn7uy]

@@TommyCBricks CONGRATS ON 1K! It took a while to get there but you absolutely deserve it, keep up the great content, you are my favourite lego youtuber (and I am also british) and I hope you get 2k soon!

[@maxsan8232]

Thank u 4 the video😍. I have one question. what is the use/purpose of those black lines that convegre in the center of the set? min 7:40 . Can I delete them? How? thank you again🤗

[@TrifleX69]

Ik its been a year but hope this helps, when importing in a lego set you need to find the set in the layer panel and delete a part that is directly connected to the set that creates the black lines. Hope this helps.

[@maxsan8232]

@TrifleX69 Thank uuu!!!

[@TheBrickBuildingEnthusiast]

Just got a couple of the Harry Potter CMF 2 figures. Ginny and Moaning Myrtle.

[@TommyCBricks]

Myrtle is one of the best figs of S2

[@TheBrickBuildingEnthusiast]

@@TommyCBricks Yeah. She's my second favorite with Bellatrix being first. Also you're renders are very helpful.

[@este_marco]

[@versus023]

Did I miss the part when you import into blender? When I open blender, i dont have the .zmbx option in import.

[@jackalmp3431]

I made it all the way through :) I have no idea how to start lol but I have no background in this stuff at all but I'm going to jump right in and make a 5 seasoned Lego stop motion idea I wanted to do I've been doing a writing personalities characters names villains season ideas characters for almost 10 years lol and stop motion would take too long lol 5 seasons lol so I'm going to try blender lol

Does mecabricks have more mini figure options because bricklink studio has a bunch of old figs but I’m just wondering

[@Mcnerd213]

I'm doing a huge project for my yt channel, I just exported from studio to meca and the mock is pretty much unrecognizable, is there an easy fix, or am I going to have to spend a weekend repairing everything?

[@Mcnerd213]

I fixed all the issues, but I am noticing that clear bricks are not clear

Here's a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHuqe4aAotWid6M

[@TaylorHolmgren]

I made it

[@deyvidvalente1]

This would look 10x better if you just added some finger print marks on the textures, and it isn’t even that hard. You just need to get some black and white fingerprint textures and some grunge textures too. Then import those images into the material part of the head or torso. Then use a mix mode set to colour then just plug the end part of the mix into a colour ramp and plug that into the principled bsdf roughness part. After that just move the sliders of the colour ramp and you don’t even need to install any plugin.
