Was workin on my new jeep animation, and i wanted to take a brake so I modeled a Lego replica. Just for fun, i wasn't trying to do an exact replica or anything. What do you think?

well... I think I have moved from GI joe to MR. I know... it surprised me to... But take a look at this, with a 30 sec render time, nice clean, and it has reflections!! Still needs alot of work.. but I am workin on it. what do you think?
Brian

BTW sorry, the compression sucks right out of Maya.... anyone know how to chage the quality of Maya's Jpg compression?
Thanks again

i agree. that is what I used to do, but then I just had my computer rebuilt, when I got Maya 5, and I don't have photoshop reinstalled yet... So... I think I will post my next two renders on my site and just link to the images, because, this looks pretty bad as Jpg, I will ad two more images in a few min, they look much better!

Because I don't have anyway right now to recompress it and still have good quality, there pretty big, you would probably want to do a right click save target as. Thanks!

Hey Brian,
How do you model that lego? Is it polygon Discplacement or something.

its all polys... If you have corel, I can attach a file (like a cad file) that you can create your own Plan/elevation views of the pieces that you want to model, and its a piece of cake... but if you aren't familiar with the program (or Cad), its a little hard to draw your own first...
