I've added a couple of new renders to my website, with much of the inspiration coming from fairly recent developments with radiosity mentioned in the lugnet.cad newsgroups. One is a render of the power drill featured on the cover of the "Lego (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.announce.moc) !!

Those renders are awesome - at first I thought they were photos! It took me a while to examine the pictures before I could convince my eyes that they were renders. It took sometimes also before I realized the drill was made out of Lego bricks! The (...) (21 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

magnificent!!! the only way to be sure it is not a real model is that studs haven't inscriptions :) best regards pixel (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks! I got a lot of ideas for settings from some posts on the lugnet.cad groups a while back, when a red racing car was featured. There is a very small amount of focal blur at the back of the truck, it isn't amazingly obvious but I think it (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

Thanks for the comments TJ. (...) I'm reading the book myself just now and am finding it incredibly useful, there is a lot about MLCAD I didn't know! Jennifer (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) It took over two days to render at 1800x1350, with radiosity and focal blur enabled. This was on an Athlon XP 2000+, and it peaked at over 1 gigabyte of memory. Just as well I upgraded the machine recently :-) Jennifer (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) It is a mains powered drill :-) I actually made a battery pack for it, but I think it took away from the archetypal drill appearance, so I didn't use it. It is funny how these things end up, I had 3 types of drills as inspiration for the model (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

Thanks Paul! (...) There's a reason for that :-) The truck render at 1800x1350 took over two days on an Athlon XP 2000+ machine, and used over a gigabyte of RAM. If you add the stud inscriptions it makes this a lot worse! The drill took only an hour (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.technic)

(...) Maybe you should try LDraw Boxer (see: (URL) ) which is a real nifty application that replaces bricks with "hidden" studs for boxes sans studs. Saves a lot of parsing, especially on level 3!

Hi Jennifer, Sorry for not having answered your private note earlier - I'm on very limited time these days. These renderings look ... simply perfect!.
