If you want to load the file into BrickLink Studio and generate instructions there, please see this guide on making instructions in Studio. With a bit over 7000 MOCs on Rebrickable having a LDD (.lxf) file as their primary instruction type, this guide will go through how you can still use these files. You are no longer able to download LDD from and will instead be redirected to download BrickLink Studio.īrickLink has a lengthy FAQ regarding the switch from LDD to Studio which you can read here. It is very clear that the new rendering engine from Stud.io is far superior to all other rendering engines and this alone might motivate you to adopt this software as your default LEGO digital design tool.LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) was a freeware computer program produced by the Lego Group as a part of LEGO Design byME, but has since been officially retired and replaced with BrickLink Studio. Below you find the rendered images of all software packages set to their maximum quality level.
So lets compare the results of the render engines. They did not have the L-Motor in their library and hence I could not render my model there. This online software runs in your browser and you need to pay for having your image rendered on theirs server farm. In its newest Beta version Stud.io is using a new render engine called Eyesight. This software was developed by Bricklink and it uses LDraw for its parts and PovRay for the rendering. There are several different editor and render tools available.
The build in render engine is not the best, but you can use Bluerender that in turn uses PovRay for rendering your model.ĭraw is the oldest software and it is maintained by the LEGO community. This is the most comfortable editor for all platforms, but LEGO’s support for this software is in doubt. There are currently three major software packages to build digital LEGO:
While these digital models can be shared it is also desirable to create a photorealistic rendering of the final model. Building LEGO digitally has many advantages, such as having an unlimited number of bricks at your disposal.
