Re: Blender Tutorials - Create a realistic Lego Scene

This is great stuff, and you manage to explain it all so even I (who knows NOTHING about vfx) can still understand everything perfectly.

Simply amazing!

Re: Blender Tutorials - Create a realistic Lego Scene

Are there any benefits to using one of the techniques instead of the others for putting a logo on a stud?

Re: Blender Tutorials - Create a realistic Lego Scene

That's a good tutorial

Re: Blender Tutorials - Create a realistic Lego Scene

Sry for late response. If you have your font use 3D text. I you need more design flexibility, use manual mesh creation.

Re: Blender Tutorials - Create a realistic Lego Scene

To those of you, who have asked which workflow to use. I created a whole video regarding this question:

Re: Blender Tutorials - Create a realistic Lego Scene

Now rotate the bricks, to have a little bit orientation variation at the logos on brick studs.
