Some of you might get a kick out of this.

Windows and OsX.

I thought they had taken that program down. I wonder if theres a way to get the models into blender.

Perhaps you can make reference images of the model and recreate it in blender.

many website provide this facilities online

LEGO Digital Designer, commonly abbreviated LDD, is a 3D CAD computer application that LEGO fans can use to design models from an unlimited supply of over LEGO bricks available in nearly every colour, including minifigures and minifigure accessories, flexible tubes, and TECHNIC pieces. Models can be as small or as large as the creator wishes.

LDD is nice but it’s not easy to export into a normal 3D format. Try LDraw instead because it can export to .3ds and then you can import that into blender.

whoa! Thanks for ever!

Neato, I had no idea apps like this existed. Thanks :slight_smile:

It is possible to export from Lego Designer. First create the model with Lego Designer, then import to LeoCAD (another software for Lego crap), then from LeoCAD you can export a simple format for common 3D file. That file import in Blender and play with it. I have a project done like this. It`s the famous Fallingwater house, rendered with cycles. You can find it on my page: www.facebook.com/Grafician3D
