LDD beginner help

[Dannylonglegs]

Hey! Dannylonglegs here! I have never used LDD before, but circumstances have arisen so that I believe I may need to finally download it. So, my question is:

Where do I get it?

When I do get it, it sounds fairly straightforward to use, but how much space does it take up?

After I make a digi-moc, what do I do next? How do I show it or share it?

Anyone know answers to my nooby questions?

You get it al lego.com, just google Lego digital designer

I think it takes less than 500 MB, so no worries there...

To share a MOC, you press Ctrl+K in order to take a picture. You can than upload that picture to Bricksehlf, Mocpages or Bricksafe and share it here.

Or you can share the raw .LXF file (LDD's format) so we can all download and see the model inside LDD.

Ooh! Thanks! I've head something about like "bluerender" or something that helps people make better renders? Where could I find that tool?

LDD2POV-Ray is a slightly more advanced rendering method. The thread contains several specialized tutorials.

Sorry tof ask for help again, but I find that LDD keeps crashing on me. I likely didn't have more than 200 bricks on the board when it first crashed. Is this a problem I can fix? Or is my computer at fault, do you think?

As you might be able to tell from my current title, I'm no stranger to computer problems...
