Bricks in Motion
We are a friendly filmmaking community devoted to the art of stop-motion animation using LEGO® and similar construction toys. Here, you can share your work, join our community of other brickfilmers, and participate in periodic animation contests!
A place to discuss, share, and create stop motion films.

Yeah I would agree, if you added the little studs on the tops of each of the blocks that might be enough?

That is a lot of vertices, not sure if my 4gb of RAM, duel core could handle that. 
Worth a try, I guess.
You could just simplify and make the rotunda out of one mesh. But if you want to brickify everything, its your RAM and CPU.
Like what LEGO did? It would make sense, but as you say, I like bricks.
I had been going for more this style:
Wow. That's awesome.
any help with the ldraw import script for blender 2.49b? i would like a little help with it. I copied and paste it into the scripts folder, i get the option. but when i try to import it says "Error, look at python console"

And what is the error message you get? There should be something that pops up in the smaller blender window.
didnt really see, all it said was "check python console"
it was followed by what looks like the location of the scripts
course i didnt really look

Have you considered using a terrain bumpmap instead? One that would generate a terrain that looks like the rotunda's top dome with hard edges. That way, you don't need to have all those vertices inside the dome set that we will never see.

I must admit to being pretty oblivious when it comes to bumpmaps. I know they are a prominent fixture in most CGI, but I've yet to take the time to learn anything about them.
okay, this time when i got the error, i looked at what everything said.
when i try to import i get this message:
Python Script Error: Check Console
on the console, i get this
Traceback <most recent call last>:
File "(location of ldraw import script)"
line 279, in fs_callback
read<filename>
File "(location of ldraw import script)"
line 221, in read
File "(location of ldraw import script)"
line 94, in read
for line in file.readlines<>:
Unboundlocalerror: local variable 'file' referenced before assignment
i have no idea what this means
what do you think? I'm going to try to add more DOF on the background. 
The edges of the bricks seem very fine and it wouldn't hurt to bevel them a bit. But not too bad.
The lighting looks good, and the background looks realistic, but the edges look REALLY sharp.
The edges look sharp? It's only at half quality.
I think it looks fairly good overall! So nice job! I think though it could be improved on in the area of the ground. If you check out photos of the Temple, you'll notice the complexity of the surrounding city and complexity of it. I'd suggest adding more to the ground itself to give it a more dynamic look. It also looks very cinematic so that's great!
What program is it?
What program is it?
Blender 2.6
It looks like of the normals are out of place on some of the bricks (Along with the sharp edge, it doesn't fit in too nicely). Other than that, I think it's a pretty nice shot. I do not think any more DoF is necessary, the background looks fine as is.
Did you give any of the bricks an edge split modifier? The cone at the base looks like it needs one.
