Re: The CGI Thread

I'm not one for minecraft... other then that, cool.

Re: The CGI Thread

@ZP Care to post a screen shot of your settings?  I would very much like to know what they are mini/smile

Now I would post a picture of my results, but I am currently in band and the image hosting website isnt working.  I'll fix t when I get home mini/wink

Now to my actual question: does anyone know if the render layers in cycles (blender v.2.6.1)?  I see the box but for the life of me I can't get it to work!  Thanks for your assistance!

If I'm on the forums, I'm probably waiting for Blender to finish rendering.

No, Cycles is not compatible with Render Layers (At least not yet).

Which settings?
The ones for the door, or the Wallpaper?

Re: The CGI Thread

I can't comment on the lighting as I am no light expert, plus we're talking about pixelated blocks in a semi-realistic  rendering.  Best to get a true Minecraft-fan's view on it, i.e. would they use it as their iPod background?

Well, I'll ask LawsontheJedi.
I know him in real life, and he's a bit of a Minecrafthead.

Re: The CGI Thread

@ZP I meant the color settings on the archway/door.  Care to post 'em?

Re: The CGI Thread

Sure.
I actually accidentally deleted that project whilst I was cleaning off my desktop.
I can, however, recreate what I did.

Re: The CGI Thread

Those are some lovely grass blocks. mini/yes I love the way you added the shadow which feels like the image 'Goes In' more.

I found out how to animate

i know how to use keyframes

i can do the models

but, when i put the model, and animate, it always comes out with just the stars, no ship...

i am using blender 2.6, mlcad for making the model, and leocad for 3ds format

Re: The CGI Thread

Do you have lights in the scene?  What's the far plane set to?  Perhaps a screenshot of your settings in blender can help.

Re: The CGI Thread

Also, when you say stars, you mean a star background image or the vertices that make up the model?  If the latter, then maybe you're in vertex mode and just need to switch out of it.

Re: The CGI Thread

Is the model in layer one?
If it's not, you won't see it until you change the layer.
Also, this is the first post I'm posting from my iPhone.

Maybe he didn't add any lights?

Interesting... care to share a little background on the picture?  To me, it looks like the Senate building in Star Wars

Yup, that is correct. It is a work in progress for an upcoming animation. I think the top will be replaced, looks too minecrafty.

I thought the thread was a little too dead, so thought I would post something.
