## Digital Design and Rendering contest

https://www.mecabricks.com/image/rendering/p/Vw1AwD.jpg
A few years ago, I organised a digital design competition based on the Scooby Doo sets. The old timers from Mecabricks may remember it. This year Mecabricks became a Recognized LEGO Online Community (RLOC) which allows us to receive support from the LEGO Group for activities. To celebrate this achievement I have decided to organise a new contest.

## 1. Goal
Participants shall select ONE of the official Speed Champions cars, build a diorama made of LEGO elements and produce a rendered image of the scene. Only the final image will be judged.

## 2. Submitting your entry
Image shall be posted in the render section, of the official set the car belongs to. Copy the link and post your entry in the designated Entry topic along with the image.

Hi Scrubs,

first of all thanks for this contest ! this is a great opportunity for MB lovers !
There is point I do not fully understand : can the landscape be built of of bricks, or is it only the car that is brick built ? I am on my way yo build a small scene with a brick built road and I'll add some landscaping later in blender, is this OK according to the rules ?

Yes, the scene shall be almost exclusively brick built. It is however allowed to use a few real elements like grass, sand, water etc. if required.

This looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to start building. If I may, I have a question. How exactly do you post the renders? I have been on Mecabricks for a while now, but I still have no clue. Thanks for putting this together Scrubs, and good luck to everyone!

OH YES! Totally entering! Thank you Scrubs and LEGO!

I'm assuming we're allowed 1 entry each?

So looking forward to this! I already chose a favorite car and I'm thinking of ideas for the render. Good luck to everyone!

fictitiouspasta, just visit the model that you have rendered in the mecabricks library. Click renderings, next to 3D view, and upload the rendering there by clicking the "+".

Masman, from the rules: "Only one entry per person." 😃

Are we allowed to change the colour of our chosen vehicle, or must it stay stock?
(Looks like I'm already starting with the car lingo, hopefully nobody will be turned off by that. 😄)

@Sim Oops, looks like I'll be going over the rules more thoroughly. 😛

Can we use multiple Speed Champions sets?

@Samino,
1 Goal.
Participants shall select one of the official Speed Champions cars, build a diorama made of LEGO elements and produce a rendered image of the scene

@Sealund Dang. I'm no better than Masman8675 at reading contest rules. Thank you for the response though! (I may never have noticed it... :P).

A couple questions: Do we open one of the linked cars in the editor and build a scene around it, or do we build it from scratch from the instructions? Or would either work? Do we have to use all of the scenery items from the set or just the car? Lastly, do we post our constructed scene to the Library and link to it as well as add the render to the set?

Yes, if you use Mecabricks, you can simply open the existing 3D model of the set, keep the car you selected and build your own scene around it. No need to rebuild the car from scratch (but your are free to do so). Only the car is required. Other items of the set may be re-used but not other official cars.
You can post the 3D scene if you wish but it will not be taken into consideration by the judges.
Hope it answers your question.

@Masman8675 No, official car selected shall be as is.

Okay, thanks!

@Samino I think I was just a bit excited and only skimmed it. 😛

@Scrubs Are we permitted to use non-LEGO materials for LEGO parts? For example, parts used for a road would have an asphalt material/texture, something metal could have rust and such, etc.

If not, that's fine, I just thought it might look really interesting. 😉

@Masman8675 No, Materials for LEGO elements shall look like realistic LEGO materials. However, custom stickers or prints are allowed.

@Scrubs Can we add other cars in the background? (unofficial MOC cars?)

@Masman8675 😛 Me too!

@Scrubs So we can put custom textures in our scene?

@oswaldzachary Yes as long as this is your creation.
Other vehicles may be included but shall be original creations.

@Samino Not for the official speed champions car. Custom prints or stickers for everything else are allowed.

Well, I guess I'll participate as well. Can't compete with all of you awesome guys here, but I'll try. 😛

Adding to the question list @Scrubs @Judges:
"- LEGO logo shall not be used in the image." Do you mean no LEGO® logo as the brand logo or do you mean we are not allowed to export Mecabricks models with the LEGO® logo?
