This looks incredibly helpful for non-admin users to help contribute to Mecabricks; thank you!
A couple of quick questions: for the references section, do we have to create the reference images ourselves (scan, take photo, etc.), or is it a place where, for example, decent images from Bricklink (such as sticker sheets) could be put for easy access?
Do the file names of the decorations have to be the final ones seen in the parts library, or is something like "part #### [enter print here]" acceptable?
Thirdly, how do we update an image if it is declared faulty?

Yay! Thank you Scrubs! I'm glad that you can submit them for approval too, good idea. 😃

Should we have some sort of set and/or part cataloging method for organizing the uploads? It could get really cluttered soon if we don't have that. 😉

Ideally with our good sized group of part admins, we should process stuff pretty quickly. As of right now I think everything in the decorations category has been marked with errors or is awaiting a new part before it can be applied.

Although references might get clogged...

It's really only the reference page that needs it I think.

Other things that would be good is to enable notifications for notes, and maybe an option to sort out reference and decal submissions by user.

I guess that reference images can be anything as long as it is good enough. Bricklink files are never good enough though.
File name is not important it is only to quickly know what it is. You can add more information in the note section.
Final name will be given by admin.

I am coding a file replace function right know as well as notifications for notes. It shall be available later today. You will be able to replace your file according to admin comments and leave a new note. Admin will get a notification and do the second review.

Thanks Scrubs, Just like everything else in Mecabricks this is also simple and clean. I agree with Masman8675 that notifications and cataloging would be good additional features.

New update of dropbox is online. It includes:

• Confirmation popup before deleting a file.
• Notifications for new notes - Sent to the file owner and other people who added notes.
• A new 'Replace' item in the tool panel. It allows users to update their decoration files if admins found stuff that had to be corrected. Remember to add a note to say that you updated the file so that admins are aware.

What exactly is the drop box for?

It's to upload references. If you have the brick decorations in real life, then you can take pictures of it and upload them under "references". These can be used to create the decoration and add the decoration to the workshop. Alternatively, if you have done the work and the decoration is ready to be added, then you can also add it under "decorations". It will be checked and added if good enough. You can also upload bump maps and so on in the "decorations" folder.

Wow! That's pretty cool. Thanks for the info!

Hey Scrubs! I have a question. What exactly does the UV map look like? This is something I was curious on because I would like to know how it is done on Mecabricks parts.

See the uv map section of this tread: https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/630

The drop box is cool for adding designs and all, but what about pieces? How do we implement more pieces into the program for building our projects?
For example the program doesn't have this part that I can find... LegoMinifig, Neck Bracket with 4 Angled Handles. Item No: 36452. But it does have this part... LegoTechnic, Pin Connector Round with 4 Clips Item No: 90202 Alternate Item No: 15646 While this Mecabricks program is awesome, I still think it needs more pieces. There are allot missing that would make for a more vast array of projects if we had more parts to work with.

@Drazimov If you have modeled a piece, you can contact Scrubs using the Contact Us button at the bottom of this web page. Scrubs has modeled almost every single part for the Workshop. That is at least a couple hundred different pieces. He is still actively modeling more parts, you will probably just have to be patient or you could add your request to the Missing Parts topic here (https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/50).

@ Samino. Thank you. That helps. I just didn't know where or how to submit part ideas.

@Drazimov No problem! 😉

What resolution does the image have to be in?

No special resolution. It has to be sharp and big enough to see perfectly all the little details

How do I make a metal/bump map?
