Does anyone know why I get an automatically applied HDRI when I import my build from meca to Blender? (it's really messing up my lighting)

How do I get into blender lite?

When I use the newest blender version for the addon the face textures are missing when I import the mini-figure.

Decorations do not appear in the default "Solid" viewport mode in Blender. Only in Eevee or Cycles.

No, In look dev mode they don't show up.

The free add-on doesn't support Eevee (which the look dev mode uses). Therefore unless you have a powerful enough GPU, it may not work either. Try to render with Cycles and the decorations will appear. If it doesn't please state your Blender version, OS and GPU. Screenshots of your viewport would also be of great help.

Hi I have got a question. My blender version is 2.93 and i have got a problem with importing minifigures to blender. My minifigures havent got textures on the torso, legs, face etc. And my graphics card is too weak to change to CUDA. What i should do?

Hi LiBrRo,

Have you switched your viewport mode from Solid to Material Preview or Rendered? It's the four circles toolbar usually found on the top right (or bottom right) of a 3d window. I borrowed this picture from another post, but it shows the buttons I'm talking about.

Why does the Blender Lite add-on not support Blender version 2.8?

It does.

Hi, every time I try to import it on my MacBook it gives me a error message. Is this add on not supported for MacBooks?

@Beckthesnake1231
Could you post the exact error message here, maybe? That would make it easier to pin-point the issue you're having with the Blender add-on. 😃

Pozdravljeni, zanima me ali je mogoče v Mecabricksu premakniti več opek hkrati?

Hi! When exporting the model through the script, I lost all the decorations (faces, clothes, pizza). What am I doing wrong?

Which export option did you use and what program are you using with your exported model? Can you post a screen shot? If you're using Blender, are you using Material Preview or Rendered?

I cant render my image because it says it is offline. I am connected to Wifi, so is it a server problem and will it get fixed soon? Otherwise, if it is not a server problem, then i would like help. It worked fine before.

This is a thread for the Blender addon, not the online render service. These are two very different things.

OK, sorry. Just clicked help on render, didn't know it was for the blender add on. I guess I wasn't paying attention. Could you direct me to somewhere where i could possibly get help? thx 😃

Per your request... here is where you get help for the render farm -- and yes, it's usually a server problem.
