Is that real, or a rendering??
If it is a rendering it looks really real… :ahh:
That’s wild… 
that is a rendering 
What was used to make the rendering?
oh wow… i looked at the image and thought it was just another stupid lego model until i read elgins post and wow that is amazing.
Wow… That’s pretty spiffy.
I’m not totally sure but i think i’ve seen that lego as an actual model, or just somethign quite like it (esp the head)
you probably have seen it before, that is an actual lego model that he followed the instructions for
is that done in an actual 3d modeling program (3dsm, maya…) or was it made in the lego program that automatically places parts and renders it?
this was done in 3d studio max
I need to buy 3D studio max because that program is realy good for 3D modeling. I have Maya 6.0 but it isnt as good for many things that 3d Max is realy good at.
its a render of a real thing its the explorian starship I Have that one
that looks really sweet. at first i thought it was real till i saw this thread… great job. how long did it take you to make this model?
He started out with a lego castle, to practice modeling the blocks. That took him about 2 weeks to complete. This ship, which still is not completed has taken about a week and a half. It took 1.25 hours to render!
go check out his castle and other pictures of the ship at
I used to have that model too. That’s a kick arse rendering. GW!
Been playing w/ 3d max for 3 years now and im still a n00b. heres a question, how’d u choose ur colors? did u actually just drag the circular thing in one of those windows where u select the paint and its all mixed up including the RGB values? and like applied a diffuse? and then placed some lighting?
