Bricks in Motion
We are a friendly filmmaking community devoted to the art of stop-motion animation using LEGO® and similar construction toys. Here, you can share your work, join our community of other brickfilmers, and participate in periodic animation contests!
A place to discuss, share, and create stop motion films.

Yes. Although some of them are based on photographs of metal, etc. Texturing it took me a couple of days though, I still had to hand-paint the maps for the wear and dirt on the edges of things.
(to keep it on this page)
hand paint? do you use of those tablets that you use to paint with on the computer? I used to have one of those.
That is AWESOME Smeagol!!! 
Everything about the ship is perfect! From the shape to the textures, it's 100% amazing!
I don't have a tablet, I used a mouse, but it was mostly drawing lines anyway on the edges of things and then doing some touchup in Photoshop on the texture maps.
Looking forward to seeing how those windows turn out.
That looks really amazing. Quite a nice job you did there Smeagol.
And you know what every good spaceship needs. A WHALE.
If you made that I'll love you forever. Dame IV
<3
But seriously, that's actually really cool. Is it for a project or are you just practicing?
It's all for a live action sci-fi film I'm working on pre-production for. Very visual effects heavy.
There will be whales.
There will be whales.
That sir, is signature worthy.
Heres something I've been working on
Are you gonna texture it or are those colors on purpose?
Nice job anyway

I considered making the buildings out of individual bricks, by duplicating them etc but that would kill my computer. So I came up with this. The buildings are supposed to look as if they are made out of lego bricks, but they are too far away to notice. Now I've considered texturing them with windows or something. Because they look quite bland at the moment.
I love your work Smeagol. 
And I thought that you wouldn't have had any time to make that whale because of how long it would take to make the ship. I truly am slow at 3D designing. (Or my OCD about getting everything perfect gets in the way too much)
Ratboy: I'd recommend texturing them with a bump map (or "normal map" in some apps) that looks like a pattern of interlocking LEGO bricks. At this distance you could still get the look of them being built from individual bricks but it wouldn't kill your computer, either.
BG: The ship took me maybe 5 days to make, working most afternoons as well as evenings. The whale took a couple of evenings.
On a side note if anybody would like to see the progressions of these two models, check out the Majhost folder.
@Smeagol: Is that a beluga?
@RatBoy: I actually like the buildings the way they are.

I have thought of that before, but this time I think I'll give it ago
Yes indeed. It is a beluga.
