I've been amazed by some of the lego models/renders in the gallery - until now. Some of them are modeled from scratch but most of them are surely not. For some of you this may be old news but If not then keep on reading to find out how to make your own lego models yourself - quite easily actually. The image you see here is made this way. 1) First of all you need LeoCad or LDraw. These programs are quite simple if you are familiar with a 3D-environment and can be downloaded from here: http://www.leocad.org http://www.ldraw.org Don't forget the latest piece liberary when you download. Personally I prefer Leocad because it has better import/export functions. You may find it a bit difficult in the beginning to find the right pieces in the liberary but after a while you will get a hang on how the pieces are named and categorized. 2) Now you need building instructions. Tonnes are available on the net. Here's a good one with hundreds of building instructions: http://library.brickshelf.com/scans/ 3) Assemble your model in Leocad or LDraw, export as .3ds or .ojb. 4) Import to Bryce, edit materials and render (don't forget to smooth the meshed a bit before you render your final image.) tadaaa!
