Well the good news is that I got all the objects and they are surfaced and the scene file works.
The bad news is because of 90,000 polys and all the transparency the time estimate is 4-5 hours with no AA or radiosity set.
I can render this over night, we'll see what it looks like. Usually many test renders are needed, but at 5 hours per test, it doesn't look good.
I know there was a setting on the converter to use the "Lego" logo on the studs, that just makes things worse. If you want to, try and set that off and send me the objects again.
I like the concept

Those last few I sent are the best its going to be because of the multiple layers of 70% transparency just block out everything.
For everyone else: I solved the massive render time problem. The scene file had volumetric lights/reflection/refraction on. So with those off I could get a 10 second render.
If you remake it with thin panels on each side, it may work better.
I'm interested to see how G2's render handles the transparency.

oh, its constructed just out of 1x2x1 Transparent bricks...
Ok, now for some images:)
here is the original MLCad pic
And now to the versions of Tzan:
To all who doesn`t know what this is: The gelatinious Cube is a AD&D Monster that runs around in Labyrinths all the time and keeps it clean.
I will give it some unique skills when i am ready with it. I could build it, but i have not enough clear bricks and i think there is no 8x8 clear plate.
I used 1x2x1 but maybe 1x8x1 and 1x6x1 would be getting better transparencies.

We can see thru the top plate. If the sides were made of plates I think it would work.
That last image has 4 point lights inside the cube since light wasnt getting in so easy.

18a looks good to me. Can you change the skeleton back to white? It just looks more "natural
And what about G2? Are you on it?
