Renderings like LEGO are within our capability. Have you seen the renders by
Koyan here:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Koyan

There are a few others that are also creating very nice renders. The secret
seems to be figuring out the specific settings used to create very nice
renderings like LEGO does. I don't think it is outside of our capability as
seen by Koyan's and others renderings. It is just figuring out how to do it.
I am in that pursuit right now. Once I figure it out I plan on writing a
tutorial and letting others know so that they can create similar nice
renders.

There have been a couple threads recently in lugnet.cad.ray were we have
been discussing Radiosity and HDRI techniques. A combination of Radiosity
and HDRI seems to be the key to good renders. You can see some of my
progress here while I was learning about radiosity:

This render here is just using Radiosity and it turned out pretty good:

I am currently trying to figure out HDRI techniques.

  Re: Lego renders
 
(...) First, I would like to agree that there are quite a few nice renders out on Brickshelf and the various personal sites. Before I begin I do not want this to come across as criticism, but I have a few questions/comments to make about some of the (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
