LEGO Universe’s Third Birthday

LEGO Universe Third Bithday Render - DesktopDownload for Desktop Wallpaper

This is a render I made on October 14-22. This render is in honor of LEGO’s first MMOG, LEGO Universe. You may know that today, October 26, 2013 is it’s third birthday. Unfortunately, it closed in 2012, but that doesn’t mean we cannot celebrate it’s birthday still! 😀

This render is in the 16:9 aspect ratio, so it’s perfect for most computers to have as a desktop wallpaper! If you would like to download it for your desktop, click the link below the picture. 🙂

Made in Blender entirely by me, rioforce. Concepts from LEGO Universe. Textures made in Blender, Photoshop, Inkscape, and Serif DrawPlus x3. The LEGO and LEGO Universe logos are not made by me, rather they are from LEGO Universe. Rendered in Blender Cycles at 3000 samples. Fire and Jetpack effects rendered in Blender Internal.
