I think the reason it's so shiny is because of your lamp. It's either too close or too bright.

No, I did read the thread. Was it the lamp part? I meant the lamp that is in Maya, I was saying it was probably too close to the model or the intensity of it was a little high.]]></content>

I use Maya though. Anyhow, I'll work on it! And ask Smeagol for advice.

Edit: I did the image again and made the bricks a tad smaller to make it look more bricky.

Now what do you think? One problem is that its far too clean and perfect, or is that just because I have old lego bricks? hehe]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, if you want to talk to Smeagol about it, then just send him a PM on youtube, if you have a youtube account. He always answers, and he is a really big help. I use MLCad to model the legos, but first you have to download LDraw, and then open it in LeoCad and export it as a 3DS, and then open it in Blender.

You can find the program and pieces there, they also explain how to update the program with new bricks.
Have fun, and patience!]]></content>
