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:
Ok thanks, but if i want specifically to recreate my before rendering is there a way i can find the same background that is non-copyrighted?
So just to be sure, any picture from that website is not copyrighted?
Yes, they are not copyrighted
ok
yes and no
All my renders have been deleted. Why? They where all rendered in the Mecabricks online render mode. I posted three renders today, all deleted. I am getting very annoyed. Can someone please tell me why they are all getting deleted?
are you using images as your background?
Ochomonster: I guarantee you that one of the rules on the first page of this forum will show you why. Of course, if you could send me the renders in question, I could critique them.
Ok, my renders too have been taken down and i need to know why, how do i send them to you?
Yes I can't figure out how to post images either.
Use Imgur or imgbb
I don't have those. I can put it in the renders and you can tell me what is wrong with it?
- They are online sites so I fail to see how you could not have those
- Imgur/imgbb is required to put an image anywhere on a Mecabricks forum.
Oh, ok then. Didn't know that.
so then what do i do when i use imgur? do i send u the image link?
The first thing to do is to, of course, go to imgur.com. You should see something like this:
Click on the "New post" button, and you should get this screen:
Click on "Choose Photo/Video" and select the render (this will not work with video files). After doing so, it should automatically appear as a post like this:
Hovering over the post with your mouse should reveal three dots in the corner. Click on that; a drop-down menu should appear and click on "Get share links". Clicking on that makes 4 links appear; select the BBCode link and copy-paste
Here is the final render for my example, used in the proper format:
ok ez pz
- Quality could be better
- "Incomplete" placement of floor
ok what do you mean Incomplete?
