    Nice to see Mecabricks put to good use. Both the Lite and advanced Add-ons are now compatible with Blender 2.80. The file downloaded from Mecabricks shall be unzipped in order to select the correct version for Blender 2.79 or Blender 2.80. The folders also contain a PDF with instructions on how to install and how to use the add-ons. For the advanced version, a tool panel is available to directly update the materials all at once without going through each shader as well as a randomize slider.

    Nice to see that you found Mecabricks. You forgot to mention to load the Template scene first. ;-)
    The Mecabricks addon has now an own format. If you still use Collada and the old addon you need to export with "Group by geometry and colour" and turn on "Link Material to Meshes". This will create real instances what is important for bigger scenes. I would recommend to turn off the "Geometry Options" and replace the OSL Bevel node with the new Cycles Bevel node. This saves geometry and looks perfect. The "Geometry Options" don't work for all models. They can mess up some geometry and they produce different bevel sizes.
    I use a modified Template scene for the Bevel node and the latest Daily Builds of 2.79. But with the new addon from this month and the own format the Template Scene has been updated to this and there's now a version for 2.80.
    Just check this video: ruclips.net/video/a0x8ObPkqIU/видео.html

    Really useful video. I've been toying with blender and mecabricks recently. I do find the surfaces very reflective... Is turning up the roughness manually the only real way to decrease it or have you found a more generic setting to do it for the whole scene? Thanks for HR uplooad!

    Hi Snooper. I was curious about importing minifigs into blender-for example, many of my minifigs aren't available in mecabrick and cannot be imported into mecabrick after being built in stud.io because mecabrick doesn't have the parts uploaded. What workaround do you suggest? I ask because I want the high quality mecabricks offers in the render vs the quality of stud.io which isn't bad but not as good as meca.

      @RenderatNight 5 лет назад +5

      I think I got an answer for you.. It also didn't work for me like it did for you but then I found a solution through forums. He doesn't mention in video that the Lite version is a bit different, you have to 1st unzip the "Blender Lite.zip" and then go inside this unzipped file into correct subfolder (depending on version of Blender; 2.0.7 = for Blender 2.79, 3.0.1 = for Blender 2.8) and install the "mechabricks.zip". Hope it helped

    Have you any progress on the Dance Macabre ballroom lego stopmotion? If you gave up, I totally understand. I've tried my hand at stop motion a few times in the past (mostly when I was a pre teen), and I know how hard it is, and how long it takes to do it.

    • @Snooperking
      @Snooperking  5 лет назад +2

      I started doing it as stop motion a few years ago, but realized the way I was doing it and with Lego Skeletons it was going to be so much work and I needed to experiment first, I should probably make a video addressing it. I still plan on it in the future but I want to do it with professional stop motion figures that cost several hundred dollars a piece which right now just isn't financially feasible at the moment while i'm in school.

  • @ClaudiusKarch
    @ClaudiusKarch 2 года назад

    thanks for the video. the problem is: Mecabricks doesnt support all parts you have in Studio 2.0 - so importing a studio file into Mecabricks works but with the loss of some parts.

    • @Magmafrost13
      @Magmafrost13 2 года назад

      The solution I found for this is to export the file from studio as a .dae, and import that AS WELL AS the file from mecabricks into blender (which has changed to a different file type since this video). Then you can just take the parts you need from the studio models, and apply the materials from the mecabricks models, and move the studio parts into place (and rescale them). If your MOC has a lot of parts, it'd probably be easier to make a new studio file with only the parts mecabricks doesnt have.
