Rendering Section Rules
Mecabricks is not an image sharing platform. Each artwork posted shall be carefully crafted and well composed. The purpose of this section is to showcase your best work only. Always favour quality over quantity.
Acceptable Entry Content
- You must be the original creator of all images you submit. You may not submit an image made by, or on behalf of, someone else unless you have the authorization.
- When using a background image, ensure that you have the appropriate rights. For instance, images from Google Image may be subject to copyright.
- Image can only be posted once. If it is relevant to multiple models, carefully choose one only.
Entry Quality Standards
- Image shall be computer generated using Mecabricks online render mode or any other third party 3D software like Blender. Screenshots from the Mecabricks workshop are not allowed.
- Image background shall not be transparent.
- Image shall bring something special to the 3D model.
- Image shall be related to the model it is posted in.
- Image shall not depict minifigures only unless there is something special that shall be explained. Adding a couple of bricks in the background is not considered a waiver.
- Image resolution shall be greater than or equal to 1920x1080.
Moderation
- Any images not following the rules will be deleted without any warnings.
- Images do not disappear. If a render has been taken down by an admin do not post it again.
External services
To showcase images not following the Mecabricks rules for the render section, you have the possibility of using external hosting services like imgur.com which doesn't require any account. Upload your image and copy and paste the BBCode provided in a Mecabricks comment. It shall look like the following:
Why were my pictures taken down? They didn't seem to violate any rules (well, they did, but I don't know which ones)...
So this should work - lets see
OK, why didn't that work?
@PyrokineticNinja add .png at the end of the URL.
OOOOOOOOOOh, thx (sorry, ultra newb here)
Just checking if a url with a .jpg at the end works automatically or not
This was so helpful! I now understand why my renders have been removed. Guess I’ve learned my lesson.
I don’t do blender renderings, but just in case I’d need this info in the future, what do I do for the model if I make a render in blender?
@dalegoboss can you clarify your question? I'm not sure I understand.
When making blender renderings, we can’t put the actual model in mecabricks, or at least if there’s a mold that doesn’t exist. What do we make the model look like if we make a blender render.
If the render is not of Legos it does not belong on Mecabricks. Is that your question?
That wasn’t my question, but I figured it out. Thanks for at least trying to help me out. I’m just kinda dumb and I have bad skills when it comes to speaking. 😉

Hi Scrubs. I uploaded two renders yesterday and both of them have been taken off. Can you tell me why? Admittedly they were screenshots, but they were screenshots of the original renders. I tried to upload the originals, but it said that they were the incorrect file format and I don't know how to change the file. They were the only way I could share my renders. I was aware that they may be taken off because they were screenshots, but in the rules you said that no screenshots from the workshop were allowed. I would be SO grateful for an answer! Many thanks 😃
I have had renders that I thought were good taken off as well.
It just depends on the if the render is worth keeping on the website. I’ve heard that Scrubs has to pay to display them...
??? Scrubs does not have to pay to display them. that makes no sense at all. yes he has to pay for the storage on the website servers.
@Megafearless dragon if the render is in a standard file format such as .jpg or .png it should be able to be uploaded.
