I use LEGO CAD to document some of my own creations (or "MOCs," as custom sets are called in some digital LEGO communities). The advantage of computer-aided design (CAD) is precision. When you use CAD to build something in virtual space, you can reasonably expect that it can be built in the real world. While the LEGO CAD applications I use don't have simulated physics to verify the structural integrity of my designs, I do lay every brick in the software to mimic a model I've made in real life.
More Great Content
LEGO bricks aren't just raw materials for design, though. They're also an aesthetic, as evident from LEGO-themed video games and movies. If you're less concerned with precision, but you still want the look of LEGO bricks, there's a great plugin for Blender called Bricker that can convert your 3D models into LEGO models with the click of a button.
Install Bricker
You can buy Bricker for $65 USD from BlenderMarket, and it's licensed under the GPLv3. Paying for it helps fund development and support.
To install Bricker, launch Blender, click the Edit menu, and select Preferences. In the Preferences pane, click the Add-ons tab on the left.
Start typing "Bricker" in the search box in the upper-right of the Add-ons pane, click the Install button, and select the Bricker ZIP file when prompted.
Convert a 3D model to LEGO bricks
Whether you have the universal starting point of a plain, gray cube, an elaborate model of your own creation, or something you've downloaded from a Blender model hub, you can give Bricker a try right after installation.
First, click on the model you want to convert into a LEGO model. With your model selected, press the N key on your keyboard to open the Properties panel. Click the Bricker properties tab, and click the New Brick Model button.
Now that you've added the model to Bricker, click the new Brickify Object button in the Bricker panel.
The default settings render a pretty blocky model, with mostly 2x10 bricks, no plates, and not much detail.
But there are plenty of options in the Bricker plugin for you to customize, and they show up in the Bricker Properties panel once you brickify a model.
- Brick height sets the height of each brick in the model. A larger setting produces a less detailed model because fewer bricks are used for the sculpt.
- Split model makes every rendered brick an object you can move in Blender. Without this enabled, your model looks like lots of bricks but acts as if they are all glued together.
- Brick types controls whether your sculpture is made of bricks, plates, both bricks and plates, tiles, and so on.
- Max size sets the maximum size for bricks and plates in your sculpture.
- Legal bricks only ensures that all the bricks are based on real ones. For instance, enabling this prevents it from generating a 3x7 brick or a 2x11 plate because there are no such pieces in the LEGO catalog (or at least not in the LDraw Parts library).
In the Detailing panel, you can control whether the undersides of the bricks are flat (which isn't very realistic, but "cheaper" to render) or detailed to mimic the underside of an actual LEGO piece.
After changing a setting, you must click the Update Model button, near the top of the Bricker property panel, to re-render your sculpture.
Brickify your designs
Bricker is a fun stylistic plugin for Blender. While it probably won't be your go-to tool for designing real LEGO sets, it's a great way to sculpt, draw, and animate with virtual LEGO. If you've been putting off your LEGO stop-motion movie magnum opus, now's the time to get started in the virtual world.

README.md
A Blender™ plug-in for importing LDraw™ file format models and parts.
Import LDraw imports LEGO® models into Blender.
It supports .mpd, .ldr, .l3b, and .dat file formats.
It's intended to be accurate, compatible, and fast (in that order of priority).
- Available for both Blender 2.79 and Blender 2.81
- Mac and Windows supported (and hopefully Linux, but this is currently untested).
- Bricksmith compatible.
- MPD file compatible.
- LeoCAD groups and cameras (both perspective and orthographic) supported.
- LSynth bendable parts supported (synthesized models).
- Cycles and Blender Render engines supported. It renders either engine from a single scene.
- Import photorealistic look, or Instructions look.
- Physically Based Realistic materials - standard brick material, transparent, rubber, chrome, metal, pearlescent, glow-in-the-dark, glitter and speckle.
- Principled Shader supported Uses Blender's 'Principled Shader' where available for optimal look (but still works well when unavailable).
- Accurate colour handling. Correct colour space management is used so that e.g. black parts look black.
- Direct colours supported.
- Back face culling - fully parses all BFC information, for accurate normals.
- Linked duplicates - Parts of the same type and colour can share the same mesh.
- Linked studs - studs can also share the same mesh.
- Studs can include the LEGO logo on them, adding extra geometry.
- Gaps between bricks - Optionally adds a small space between each brick, as in real life.
- Smart face smoothing - Uses Edge-Split Modifier and Sharp Edges derived from Ldraw lines, for smooth curved surfaces and sharp corners.
- Concave walls - Optionally look as if each brick has very slightly concave walls (with the photorealistic renderer), which affects the look of light reflections.
- Light bricks - Bricks that emit light are supported.
- Fast - even large models can be imported in seconds.
Installation and usage
Installing the add-in
- Download the latest version from the Releases page
- Open Blender
- If you are in Blender 2.79 or lower, choose from the menu: File > User Preferences
- If you are in Blender 2.80 or later, choose from the menu: Edit > Preferences
- Click the Add-ons tab
- Click the Install from file. button (Blender 2.79) or Install. button (Blender 2.81)
- Navigate to the zip file you downloaded and select it
- Find Import LDraw in the list of Add-ons (search for LDraw if necessary)
- Tick the check mark next to it to activate the add-on.
- Click the Save User Settings button (Blender 2.79) or Save Preferences button (Blender 2.81) so that it will still be active next time you launch Blender.
Setting the LDraw Parts Library directory
- Download the latest complete LDraw Parts Library and unzip it to a directory e.g. called 'ldraw'.
- OPTIONAL: Download the unofficial parts and unzip it to sub-directory 'ldraw/unofficial/'
- From the Blender menu click: File > Import > LDraw (.mpd/.ldr/.l3b/.dat).
- In the bottom left of Blender's window, there's a panel of Import Options.
- The first option is the LDraw Parts Library directory. Type the full filepath to the 'ldraw' directory you unzipped to.
- To save that directory and try it out, choose a file to import.
It was inspired by and initially based on code from LDR-Importer but has since been completely rewritten.
Import LDraw is licensed under the GPLv2 or any later version.
Thanks to BertVanRaemdonck for the 'concave walls' feature, and for the useful feedback and suggestions.
Blender™ is the free and open source 3D creation suite.
LDraw™ is an open standard for LEGO CAD programs that allow the user to create virtual LEGO models and scenes. You can use it to document models you have physically built, create building instructions just like LEGO, render 3D photo realistic images of your virtual models and even make animations. The possibilities are endless. Unlike real LEGO bricks where you are limited by the number of parts and colors, in LDraw nothing is impossible.
LDraw™ is a trademark owned and licensed by the Estate of James Jessiman. This plug-in is not developed or endorsed by the creators of The LDraw System of Tools.
Bricksmith allows you to create virtual instructions for your Lego creations on your Mac.
LSynth is a program that synthesizes bendable parts for LDraw files.
