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.

Creating terrains of rolling hills and mountains is no easy task if you brick-ify them.
The trees' distribution don't seem to line up with the studded plates. Were these trees generated via particle emitter?
I believe that MLCAD has a built-in terrain generator.
You might want to check it out.
It has been awhile! Good to see others still hanging out here. I've been trying my hand at modeling a bit in blender.
Uncle Moralo.
Ignore the top edges of the frame, and note that there will be a motion blur added to the speeders later.
A couple of the speeders have trees growing through them. And there isn't much room for them to drive around in.
Wow that looks nice JamesW 
As for the texture (which you'll probarbly will work on), try to make it more plastic, shiny-ish.
Like, try to give a bit of a reflection, a specular, and ofcourse the recognizable LEGO colours.
Looks awesome!
My only complaint would be the color, and like Tom said, the specular.
Double post:
I have a MAYA question:
Whenever I export a minecraft map with Mineways and import it into MAYA, I turn off the "use default light" option, and remove all the lights in the scene, but the model is still lit! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Help?
I created a cityscape for a non-existent city builder game (Totally not ripping off SimCity) today:
Here is the original render before it was Photoshopped:
Thanks for the tip on ambient occlusion Zach, while this was still in Blender, I just left Environmental Lighting on and turned on Ambient occlusion. My PC overheated the first time, but the second, it rendered.
I like the composition of the scene itself, but the kerning on "CITYSTATE" hurts my brain.
I copied the pacing between the letters in both words so they were exactly the same, I guess that is why you should always do things manually. I saved the PSD, so I may take another crack at it.
I like it! Great work, especially the blue color of "City" haha.
The bloom effect on 'State' is kind of harsh and makes it a tad bit difficult to read; this also goes for a few of the building tops as well.
Did you use cycles or blender internal when rendering this?
No, I just used default render settings. I think cycles would torture my PC. I wanted to make the rooftops bright to give off a "beating sun" feel. But I do agree that the text for CityState needs work, and I will try to get to that.
I think cycles would torture my PC.
Assuming Renderfarm.fi still doesn't support Cycles, my doors are open (just tell me what to install first).
I think cycles would torture my PC.
You'll never know until you try it.
My computer crashed once while I attempted to render what I have. (It isn't very good, to say the least)
What is causing it to crash? If you post the symptoms, we might be able to prescribe a cure 
Overheating perhaps?
It overheats constantly, and it's a laptop, so It's basically screwed. I am looking at a gaming computer though, so things will improve.
All right, ignore my offer. 
Oh yeah, laptops are NOT the greatest for rendering... I could see where the overheating problem comes in. Perhaps you should take Lechnology up on his offer
I render on my laptop all the time, no problem. That said, my laptop is a MacBook Pro...
