Topic: LEGO CGI Test

A short test for LEGO CGI.

My latest test looks at various animation techniques I had previously not played around with, including lighting and camera animations.

I also played around with Davvey's LEGO Generator here (link in video description). The rendering is a bit off for the add-on, but I am happy with how much time it saves in modelling LEGO bricks.

Camera animations are actually easier than what I originally thought. Lighting and rendering isn't really that great in Maya, however.

Re: LEGO CGI Test

Have you thought about creating textures?

A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

Re: LEGO CGI Test

I have, but I'm haven't done much texturing yet, so I don't know a lot.

Re: LEGO CGI Test

Well, the video doesn't look like a rendering. We can see the outline of the camera and lighting. This is more like the 3D viewer one sees on their 3D animation tool. Maya is a powerful tool, but you're showing us the 3D viewer, not the final rendered image/footage. I hope you're aware of the difference and that the 3D viewer on any 3D animation tools does not give you the final render.
