Is there anyway to cancel a render in progress? "X"ing out of the window didn't seem to work.

MECABRICKS: There is no way for a user to delete a render in progress. If your render is stuck, I'm not sure but I believe Scrubs can cancel it for you.
BLENDER: Simply close the window.

@kellermeister This thread is for the Blender add-on, not online rendering. To cancel a render in Blender, just press the esc key.

How do you put up a render?

Um? I need some help. I closed out of a file while it was rendering. And it won't let me render anything else! HELP!?

Can Scrubbs cancel my render? PLEASE! 😃

@BrickWraith This is a thread to discuss the free add-on not the online render service. By the way, closing the window while it is rendering doesn't impact the render - only if you close it while it is uploading. As mentioned in another thread an automatic script runs every 24 hours to sort this kind of issue.

When will it stop?

I downloaded Blender. Do I need other software to start making awesome renderings like Scrubbs, and others I forgot there usernames?

@ApocalypticBrick
No, Blender should be enough; if you want to manipulate textures or create custom MB decals, you would need another software like GIMP or Photoshop, but apart from that, Blender is enough. Though Blender has a learning curve, just to inform you.

How do you make the renderings look... like... I don't know? Textured?

It won't let me add Mecabricks zmbx file import to Blender. What should I do?

Read the install manual found in the zip package downloaded from Mecabricks.

@Scrubbs. Oohhh. Thanks! 😮

@Scrubs The colors of the stickers look weird when I render. I assume this is a new problem, as I didn't experience it before. Any solution to this?

Figured I'd post an image. 😛

Thanks for reporting it. For whatever reason, a link between 2 nodes is missing in mb_decoration. I will update this add-on in the next couple of days to fix it and add a few other modifications.

Ok. Thanks!! 😄
