    Hi,
    great tutorial. theres an rasier way to get my city in blender, if you open it in mecabricks you'll notice i have it in groups. so you can bring it in by 1 group or a few groups in at a time. for example you can hide the road group and bring in just the buildings, that will make it easier to select the building bricks in blender.
    regardless this a cool tutorial

    Easy compromise for if your scene "absolutely must" have the LEGO® logo visible on the studs: use the "what the camera can see" trick to selectively grab only bricks close enough to have the logo visible, export _only those_ with the logo enabled, then align into the scene as necessary. ...Orrr... go full studless and ensure no studs are visible to begin with.

    Another way to get light models (mostly for buildings that aren’t focused on)
    Straight up just get the textures from all sides of the building and just put it together as a cube that still looks like da like Lego

  • @Moki314
    @Moki314 Před 11 měsíci

    I was excited when the asset library got added, but I never actually learned how to use it, but now I will be using it for sure! Thanks!
    One thing though, car wheels. What would you suggest for instancing car models that you want to have the wheels spin? I guess one way would be to have all of your car models without wheels and then have separate wheel assets, is there a better way of doing it than that?

    • @TiNKLeFilms
      @TiNKLeFilms  Před 11 měsíci

      Yes, that's one way of doing it. Or you could uncheck "Instance" when importing the car model (like here: 12:35). That way you should be able select all the individual pieces, so you can animate the wheels.

    hello tinkle!, i am doing this tutorial and i want to ask you if its a good idea to import all the buildings that i want to convert in asset in the same .blend file, i import one then i convert it to asset and save it, i hide it and repeat all again until i have all my buildings in assets, its a good idea? or i have to put the buildings in diferrents .blends for better performance in blender? thanks you so much

    • @TiNKLeFilms
      @TiNKLeFilms  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yes, that's totally fine. That shouldn't influence the performance in the project that you'll use the assets in. It might just slow the original project down where you imported all the buildings to create the assets. So when you feel like the project gets too heavy or takes too long to open, just make a second one.

    Hi!
    Just a quick question. Is it normal for a hallway scene with studs (paid version) to take 19 minutes to render with an RTX 3080 and still look very noisy with 4096 samples in Blender 3.6?

    • @TiNKLeFilms
      @TiNKLeFilms  Před 7 měsíci

      19 minutes with 4096 samples sounds possible. You should try to achieve something good looking with 300-500 samples. If it's too noisy, even after denoising, try to add more lights to your scene. Even if you want a dark look in the end. You can make it darker again after you rendered it in your editing software or with the compositor in Blender.
      But rendering with more overall lights should reduce the noise amount.

  • @lex48628
    @lex48628 Před 10 měsíci

    Man, I have a doubt, how do you solve the bug when rendering animations, the images keep appearing white "spots" in the render, do you know how to solve this?

    • @TiNKLeFilms
      @TiNKLeFilms  Před 10 měsíci

      What I normally do is set the direct light clamping to a very high number. 100-200, or just as high as possible (depends on the lighting in your scene) before the white spots appear: i.imgur.com/juzB8ln.jpeg

    When importing a model the scale slider doesnt show up, is there another way to scale it to 0.001?

    • @TiNKLeFilms
      @TiNKLeFilms  Před 9 měsíci

      I just found out that the scale slider is exclusive to the paid Mecabricks Advanced add-on. So unfortunately there seems to be no good way to scale your models down if you are using the free version. Cause if you scale it down after import, it will not work with the shading and the textures 😕

      It's a free add-on called "Simple Tabs". You can find it on Blender Market or Gumroad.

  • @gothic_gachi
    @gothic_gachi Před 4 měsíci

    In the free version of this Addon (Blender Lite) in Cycles mode the model looks like sushi. The description of the addon says that the renderer does not work only in Evee. I understand correctly, the bricks should automatically be similar in material to plastic with glare?
    Because in .zmbx format the model looks very terrible. And in .obj format the model looks fine, but I have to manually create the plastic material to make the model look realistic.
    Am I the only one having this problem or is it the free version of the Addon to blame?
    P.S. I will add from myself that in .obj format the model has normal edges and bevels (but without Lego logo). The difference is that the model takes longer to load and textures will have to customize themselves. 🤷🏼‍♂
    (Fixed) Lego logo in .obj is still there.
