Hi, I have recently been doing some CG work in MLCAD and Blender, and I noticed that when I render my image, all the bricks appear to be one solid "brick". Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could space the bricks out, to give them that realistic, sort of cracky look that you get with real legos? Thanks.
You need to bevel the bricks. This explains it.

Ok, I'll check it out. Thanks!
Thanks! Although, is there an easy way to apply the bevel to all the bricks in the scene?
yes, but unless you have a very very fast computer you can't do all of them at once. well it depends on how many you have though. I can normally do about 10-15 bricks at once. How you do it is select the 10 bricks then hit ctrl J and his yes. This will join the mesh of those objects and make them one object. Now just bevel that one object and taadaaa.

Thanks! It works great!
Can anyone suggest some good settings for realistic CG bricks?
