Pity no decals or faces

[Phantom59]

I think the main problem with LDD is the lack of faces and older bricks with decals This is one area where LDraw is so much better

LDD has a pretty wide selection of decorations. They are missing a lot of older decorations, but that's inevitable since they have not been around as long as LDraw and are catering to average kids as well as AFOLs. Also, I believe LDraw has a system by which fans can contribute decorations and brick renders, whereas LDD is proprietary and does not have this asset. Both programs have advantages and disadvantages.

Of course, the reason you may be having trouble could depend on what mode of LDD you are using. In DesignByMe mode, there is a 1x1 brick with an eye pattern similar to the one you need, only it has a "sparkle" in the pupil. This can be found in the basic bricks category. In LEGO Universe mode and LDD Extended mode, the exact eye pattern you're looking for is available when you use the decoration tool on a 1x1 brick, although it only works when you use the decoration tool on the correct side of the brick. This means you may have to rotate the brick to get it to work in this model. It's easy to overlook, but it should help you here (although for other models there almost certainly will be decorations that are completely unavailable).
