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:
Hi, Scrubs
I'm not sure why my render was taken down on my project UPDATED_A Lego Builder's Room_UPDATED. I followed the rules and it still got taken down. Please can you tell me why this image did not comply with the rules: file:///home/chronos/u-e631e74288d93a54b9a84e22fec303e79ed8babe/MyFiles/Downloads/A%20Lego%20Builder's%20Room%20Updated.png
Thanks for your help, Naraic
Is there a way to share an image without using a different website? I don’t know if I’m on the right forum...
So can I or can I not post renders of my actual model that I have built?
The definition of to render:
process (an outline image) using color and shading in order to make it appear solid and three-dimensional
Everything inside a render you post into the render gallery has to be digital.
Ok. But what's the point of the render then?
I thought the render was for actual images of the model.
Oh. Well, you're mistaken.
For your original question, no. For your second question:
Renders are digital works of art that (in Mecabricks) comprise of images of models that appear to be 3D. Renders on Mecabricks that make it to the gallery are to be the best work of the rendering tools available.
ok
I know the rules, but...how do I share them?
Just copy the first post on this topic
Ok, so I have to use a different website?
No, you cannot upload that render into the Render section.
@Cakery-
What's wrong with the render? I'm curious to know why it would fail.
Thanks.
"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."
Also the reflection in the wall shows the red flash from the camera.
It would definitely be deleted. It doesn't bring anything to the 3D model. There is nothing interesting in the composition, lighting, etc. And it doesn't show any technical abilities (low resolution, low samples, etc.)
This is not what is expected for the Mecabricks render section but you are welcome to post it somewhere else and link it here.
How do I hide my light so I cant see it but I can still see the light from it?
Which light did you select?
Can this render be used on this model: https://www.mecabricks.com/en/models/N02gkDZL2LD ?
If not, please can I be told what's wrong with it/how to improve it?
There's a lot of noticeable noise, and it's pretty...bland, no offense.
