Do Blender Renders look as good as Mecabricks Renders, and can you use the lighting presets from Mecabricks?
BAD_PANDA started this discussion in Help and Tips

Hi, so I'm considering installing Blender to create higher-res renders of builds from Mecabricks. I know you can move models from Mecabricks to Blender, but is it just as easy (and does it look as good) to Render from Blender as it is from Mecabricks? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm very inexperienced with Blender. Thank you

It is not quite as easy, especially if you are unused to the interface, but it is definitely worth it. It can look every bit as good and better. Unless you are using the paid Advanced add-on (which is worth the money, but you can do everything with the Free one that you can with Mecabricks), you can do higher-res renders with time being the only additional cost (using the same render engine that Mecabricks does, incidentally). The lights and HDRI from your Mecabricks model does not import with it, but you can add your own within Blender. Overall, it is an amazing and flexible piece of software, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Fell free ask if you have any other questions.
