To do this we used Blender. If you want to read all about how we used Blender you can check out a great article on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blendernation.com\/shapeways-switches-to-blender-for-on-line-rendering\/\">BlenderNation blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We love Blender and we&#8217;re giving you the Blender files so that you can do the scenes at home and play with them at your leisure. We&#8217;re releasing the files under a Creative Commons, <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/\">Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike<\/a> license. You can download them below. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/blog\/uploads\/Shapeways-Renderer-V1.0.zip\" title=\"Shapeways-Renderer-V1.0.zip\" target=\"_blank\">Shapeways-Renderer-V1.0.zip<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also holding a special contest for all you Blender Ninja&#8217;s out there. The &#8220;Have I seen the best scene&#8221; contest. Can you use the files above to create the most realistic scene? Can you take Suzanne and put her in the kitchen, the garden, anywhere? To enter the contest just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/forum\/index.php?t=msg&amp;goto=10972\">post your scenes here on the forum<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The winner wins $150 in 3D printing from Shapeways! <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Some tips from the pros: &#8220;Feel free to change anything you want, except for<br \/>\nthe camera position and orientation. We need these to be fixed because<br \/>\nof the way the auto-scaling script works (see the &#8216;shoe-box&#8217; in layer 2<br \/>\n&#8211; each object is squeezed inside).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Also, be gentle with the rendering times. Remember<br \/>\nthat we need to render hundreds of objects per day, so don&#8217;t go crazy<br \/>\non &#8216;expensive&#8217; rendering features. Using the node editor is fine.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Finally, we spent quite a bit of time on the White, Strong &amp; Flexible<br \/>\nmaterial, so please make sure that remains the same, too. Of course, if<br \/>\nyou can substantially improve it, we won&#8217;t complain ;-)&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently made a huge improvements to our renderings.
