The model is made up of sections, the platform and retaining wall are made up of
sixteen stud long sections repeated and the bridge girders are half the width so
there are four of the same model (you can only see two in the render) Each
section is a seperate .ldr file and is then repeated in the final scene. Any
sections which can’t be seen are removed, however they can easily be reinstated
for rendering a view from a different angle. It does get slow moving the
sections around, upto about 30 seconds to refresh. This is on a P111 800Mhz
laptop with 256Mb ram. The render took about 6 hours and the swap file size got
up to 1.8Gb As the title suggests the cad file will be getting bigger, some
minifigs and a more detailed bridge are first, I’m also considering lighting for
night scenes but I’ve not used the light.dat before so I will need to play
around with it.
I like to think I might build it one day, however I would need a much larger
Lego budget nd also would need there to be a higher peice range in dark orange
(used for the brickwork) or another colour that would be suitable. Tim
