Congratulations (and welcome to Mecabricks)! You can write a tutorial if you want to. 😃 The advanced blender template can handle more than this. It's there for people that want to render without having to do some configuration or so. It's to support the site in the coming years! 😃

I'm not sure if this is really appropriate to post here? I don't understand why you wouldn't wanna support all the work and time Scrubs is putting into all of this site? Nothing is for free and if you want Mecabricks to continue to grow and develop we all need to support this in one way or another, that's just my thoughts of this! 😉

As long as you don't use a single line of code or assets coming from the Add-ons I developed, you are of course free to do your experiments. That said, as per Sim and Sealund comments, the advanced add-on allows to get a tiny little bit of money to fund Mecabricks. The site is more and more hungry due to increase traffic, costly hardware - I know you tried the render farm - and a lot of new real pieces to acquire in order to be modeled. I bang my head everyday to find new ways to keep it up and running.

@Scrubs Hi! i'm sorry for what i did, i don't have any money to get the advanced blender script. So i decided to try my self by using the lite version (but it didn't have the replace script if its suppose too!) and it turned out alright, but I have to assign by hand every texture to every material and unwrap every object.... So its pretty obvious yours is way better! And has a lot more features. But I have a question, is there any other way to support Mecabricks other then money? Because at the moment i cant do anything with money but id love to do anything else! If I have a chance anytime soon to get the advanced script i'm going to do it, and i hope i can soon. And just saying maybe you could add ads on the side for the website and make money, just a way to make a little more to help!

I really want to help and support this amazing website and if I can help develop it or do some of the decorations for different sets! Sorry for what I did and thank you so much for replying!

You didn't do anything wrong. Mecabricks is providing tools for people to play with and this is what you did. All good!
There are other ways to help Mecabricks and like you suggested helping with the part library is a good one. It can be either submitting decorations, scanning sticker sheets or modeling pieces, etc. It can also be simply posting great models, beautiful renders and sharing on social media 😉

Hope you will continue you Blender experiments.
