VERY cool. I don't suppose you'd consider redoing them with a black
background? ;-)
It would take a bit of work choosing the right colors to still have all the
details, but I HATE white backgrounds on my desktop ;-)

Sure, no problem. I'll have to mess with it some though, since all of
the luminousity comes from the white background.

I think that what you have done is just plain jaw-dropping *cool*, Micah!
You folks who render LEGO in CAD are doing the neatest things! I am so not
computer-savvy and am greatly impressed with the images which can be
generated. Although there is probably no hope for me (old dog, new tricks
thing), I hope my son can explore some of this world:-)
Thanks for posting!

Thanks for all the great comments (in both discussion and private
email). I had not anticipated such a positive response. I've set up a
thumbnail index for the scenes, which I will upload via ftp after I
finish rendering my latest scene, a single brick on a black background.
It only took me about 10 minutes to tweak the lighting for a black
background, but apparently the lighting effects are somewhat complex,
because Bryce has been burning the render for about four hours now and
will probably not be finished for another two or three hours more. I
don't even want to think about how long it will take to render a
comparable black-background scene with the six iBloc bricks ;)

Wow! Very cool. :)
One detail you did leave out, although I haven't measure its size, is the
rounded edges of the bricks (studs should be even more rounded than the
rest of the brick). It's a pain to add, but it would add a lot to the
rendering.

Yeah, I left out the rounded edges, the very shallow 90 degree cut-out
on bottom of the inside wall, some horizontal raised ridges on the
inside wall, and the four convex bulges on the inside walls of the
tubes. The latter three were merely left out because they were
insignificant IMO, but the rounded edges were left out because they
would massively complicate the model (at least in Bryce). Additionally,
the font I used for the logo on the studs isn't exactly identical to an
actual LEGO brick. I've contemplated modeling an ultra-detailed version
in the future that is completely true to an actual LEGO brick, mold
numbers and all.
