They look like they're made in some 3D renderer.I use MLCAD to make the lego models.Then the models are ray-traced with POV.I will post links to these tools as soon as possible.

SpiceGuid Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 Ok, here are the tools links (for Win95 or better).The lego file format i use is LDRAW, the most popular lego file format, with the biggest available 3D lego parts library.First, you need to install the LDRAW parts library:http://www.peeron.com/ldraw/complete.exeSecond, you need to install a lego modeller:http://www.lm-software.com/mlcad/Third, its convenient to install a lego OPENGL viewer:http://home.san.rr.com/tcobbs/LDView/Downloads.htmlFourth, you need to convert LDRAW format to POV:http://www.hassings.dk/l3/l3p.htmlFinally you need POV (i use version 3.1):http://www.povray.org/The ultimate LDRAW ressource is http://www.ldraw.orgUnfortunately this GREAT site is currently unaccessible. For install problems you can get help at http://news.lugnet.com/cad/Or just e-mail me, i will try to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiceGuid Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 What I'm surprised of also is the precision of the photography of this macro shot... is it a normal camera??That is not an actual camera.That is 3D art using Persistence Of Vision, a free software to create realistic pictures.See links above.
