The Old Workhorse - Traction Engine
Bricked1980 started this discussion in Community

Hi everyone. I wanted to show my first MOC created using mecabricks. I started work on this using LDD but part way through I switched over to Mecabricks and never looked back : )

The model is a Steam Traction Engine called "The Old Workhorse". As well as the engine itself, I also built a wagon/trailer and several accessories and mini builds to compliment the traction engine. Here are a selection of images that were all created using the Mecabricks render farm.

I've added this model as my first ever entry on Lego Ideas. If you like I'd really appreciate if you could please support it.

I supported a little while back, I really like it. Great job on the model(s) and renders! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Could you release this to the public so we can take a closer look at it? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Supported!

This is beautiful! Supporting!

Thanks so much guys for supporting me. I noticed that after posting this on Mecabricks I had my busiest day yet for new supporters so thank you very much everyone. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

In answer to ArmoredBricks question about making the model public. I actually want to make some minor adjustments to the model but when I've done this I'll happily share it. Not sure how to do this though. Can anyone let me know?

Also is it possible to control what things are made public exactly? I notice that some people give the option to view the model itself, renderings and a 3D view, but some people only share renderings or the 3D view.

One final question ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Is it only possible to show images rendered using the render farm or is it possible to upload images that have been rendered or post processed using different software?

Really the only settings that can be changed for a models publicity are a description, tags, public or non-public, and whether or not other people can open it in the workshop (editor).

Click your username at the top of the page. Scroll down until you find your model. Click on the model. Check the box [open to the public] and (optional) [open in workshop] then add some tags and a description if you want. Click [save]

On the model page in the library under the renders tab you can add images. These can be from any source, not just the render farm, as it is a normal image uploader from your computer.

That's brilliant, thanks for that. I have now added it to the library. https://www.mecabricks.com/en/models/X8jO5V79aYJ#bny13D

Here is a newly created image of my Lego Ideas Traction Engine.

Nice!

Looks great! ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks @Samino and @Masman8675. That's another image I created using the render farm, but then I added the background in using photoshop. I'm sure it's possible to add the background as part of the render process itself but I've not quite figured out how to do that yet. ๐Ÿ˜„

Yes, you can. That is easy:
