It features tens of thousands of LEGO parts, all of which can be modified and placed within its virtual build space. This free design tool is published and maintained by BrickLink, the biggest secondary market for LEGO pieces (see below). BrickLink StudioīrickLink Studio, sometimes simply referred to as “Studio” or “Stud.io,” is the best option for most builders of intermediate to advanced skill. There are three notable options at the time of writing. The easiest way to do that (without spending a mortgage’s worth of money on randomized pieces) is to use a software tool to build a set virtually. Pixels of the same color can be group and merged into money saving bricks.īelow is an example of one Side View pixel method I'm currently working on.If you want to make a LEGO set with hundreds or thousands of pieces, you want to plan it out first. So, when using Side View, 3 Plates = 1 Brick. Speaking of counting, it will also help to know your LEGO Math here. PS does has a pixelation filter, and outside the program there are LEGO mosaic makers, but this interesting quirk breaks a solid image into pieces, where with minimum time and effort, a more precise stud length can be quickly counted out. I'm sure there are many other methods within and outside this specific graphic program to aid us in our build. Well, anyway, the magnifying function is clearly not intended to brick out an outline, but it works well here. Note: A 2x2 plate stacked on a 2x2 brick makes a nice a square also,īut this will increase the size of our creation.
We can get really creative and exploit functions of programs never intended to be used for MOC bricking.Įnter: Adobe Photoshop - PS's main role is a visual graphic editor, but it does something strange if an image is magnified past 400%. The kinds of software used to design LEGO MOC doesn't necessarily have to be solely confined to Computer Aided Design programs.
