Description
You know, it really is a matter of details... the added realism of having the "LEGO" writing on the studs is incredible!I added the LEGO logo on each stud but this made the assemblies difficult to manage and quite heavy as far as polygon count is concerned (say +100% on triangle count!). I now have a family table system allowing me to easily switch logo on for selected parts, namely the ones that are actually visible, and in this way I have a poly count increase of about +30% that is quite acceptable.
The model is, as usual, Pro|ENGINEER (each logo is solid geometry), rendered in Hypershot.

Looks amazing!
I tried Hypershot but it doesn't work on my laptop. My video processor is too weak TT_TT

Hypershot now uses iRay and probably relies entirely on gpu power (didn't check it in a while). You could have a try with Keyshot, it's still CPU based and actually the engine from this versions of Hypershot is the one from Luxion (makers of Keyshot)

That's awesome! I love it! I actually just came across this by searching "Lego car" into Google, was close to the top! I was just looking for a quick colour scheme for an idea for my Lego car model and this was my pick! Great colours, model, and render! I might need to get some tips from you

This was the first rendering with the "LEGO" logo on each stud, it's a very simple scene but I really like the quality of the illumination and the fact that the logo is really visible.

E le cose cambiano!
Davvero, il logo da quel tocco un piΓΉ. Per risparmiare non potevi evitare i poligoni e usare normal/bump maps?

Ci avevo penasto, ma come ho sempre detto, io sono un fan della geometria

That is really awesome, and the LEGO does add a lot to the feeling that this is real.

Thank you! I also completed the tow truck, I'll post a full city scene as soon as I have some time to set it all up... it will be huge
