Is rendering free?
jasnyy_ started this discussion in Model Export and Render

I tried to take a picture of my small building, went to the 3D Rendering tab, set everything up and clicked "Render", when the rendering was over, various information appeared on the left side of the screen, including: Price: $ 0.036. Do I have to pay this amount now? I thought the rendering was free. I downloaded the photo and nowhere in my account can I see the payment tab for it. I'm new to this and not very familiar with it (:

Short answer is that you owe nothing... the cost is showing you how much it cost to produce the image, but it is still free to you.

@B1Trash, I’m trying to render but it’s taking a long time and it’s still saying it’s “Building” any tips?

Sometimes your renders get stuck in line... Mecabricks renders use Scrubs' render farm. If you're doing free renders, they will take a back seat to people who pay for renders. Also, somtimes the render farm loses connection with the servers that host Mecabricks. You're pretty much along for the ride at this point. If your computer can handle it, you can also export your model and render it yourself in a program like Blender. Mecabricks has a free Blender plugin that you can access through the SHOP link at the top header. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait.

Understandable, I think my computer is strong enough to handle blender as I have used it before.

I had a feeling the servers for it crashed or something, just wanted to be sure!

I made a whole custom minifigure using the tips on the custom decals page, and I made a lego Sunny for my friend, he likes fortnite.
But I couldn’t show him bc of the servers

You can always use the camera icon on the top toolbar to take a screenshot if you just need to share it.

Oh, you’re right..

Btw if you want to look I uploaded the Sunny fig

Also, phone MECABRICKS sucks tbh… the whole thing is squashed to the point where you only get a little amount of space to See your build. which is why I prefer my computer lol.

Also two questions;

1.how do I put a render that I made onto my project? Take my - HOTH Snowspeeder MOC mini creation, I made 3 renders for it.. how do I put them onto the uploaded project?

  1. How do I copy a piece or pieces from one project to another, without copying the project? Or does it not exist?
  1. Read through the first page of this thread: [url]https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/1681[/url]; then on your model page, click the renderings tab and then click on the circle plus in the bottom right of the image area. If your render doesn't meet the rules on the link, you can upload to imgur (or any other image host service) and then embed your image in the comments the same way you'd do so in a forum post.

  2. You need to import a whole model. However, if you want to make the import process a bit cleaner you can get creative. One option would be to start with the model you want to copy from and save it as a new model. Then delete the parts you don't want to transfer over and save it. Now open the model you want to copy to and then import the model you just saved.

Hey, I tried watching a tutorial yesterday about installing blender.lite from mecabricks to blender, but it seems as though the version of the MECABRICKS add-on needs to be updated. I followed everything, how did you install it?

Unzip the blenderlite file. You should now have access to a zip file called mecabricks lite and a PDF. Don't unzip that file. Then follow the instructions in the PDF. They should be up to date.

Ok, I’ll try that.

Thanks for the help B1, well appreciated!

Ey B1, since you know a lot about MECABRICKS, I made a custom decal arm, how do I put the custom arm onto a torso in parts editor so that way I don’t have to build it all over again in workshop?

Create a torso in the part manager, then add your arms to it.

You can skip ahead to Form Arms and Body. It starts after the 5th image in the post that I linked. However, there is some missing context in the stuff about adding the lower legs and hips. If the Arms and Body section is confusing, read the entire post that I linked (not necessarily the entire thread) and it should make better sense.

Thanks! I had a fortnite body that I made but I thought it was frustrating because I needed to put the arms on in WORKSHOP

B1 my Renders keep disappearing on my project. I uploaded 3 renders to my “Sith Trooper Kade” MOC but they keep disappearing!

Can you post one of them here?

um
I need an Imgur link right?

Also, I was following the rules said by Scrubs but they still were getting removed.
