Looking for digital version of a part

Recommended Posts

 

Bricklink has this: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=36112pb01#T=C&C=11

Part No: 36112pb01  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Mask Cat with White Muzzle and Highlights, Pink Nose Pattern  36112pb01  Minifigure, Headgear Mask Cat with White Muzzle and Highlights, Pink Nose Pattern
Catalog: PartsMinifigure, Headgear

 

Searches without "pb01" yield nothing, neither on LDRAW or peeron. It will probably not be included in LDD since it is too new.

Undoubtedly a render from LEGO.  So, ask LEGO for a 3D model? :grin:

Well I would wonder how Brickowl got the render of this part (from LEGO). I can't find this part on the LEGO Website (neither buy nor broken nor lost) and also I couldnt find a PDF Building Instruction for that minifig. So I indeed would wonder where they got it from - I doubt they get it from LEGO ? Would they ?

To be more specific this one: https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-minifigure-hat-36112-38401

The picture Brickowl themselves put there, seem to be digital. Anyone know, if and where to get it ? Any format (LDraw, LDD, etc) is fine.

That's a picture from Brickowl. I doubt there is a digital file of it since there is no LDRAW file of it either. Stud.io (owned by Lego), MLCAD, LDCAD, LPUB3D, LDVIEW, LeoCAD all use LDRAW parts.

The main image on BO is a photo but the others are renders.

If you check on Brickset for design 38401, you find one (the best one).  Brickset gets its images directly from TLG, so that’s a render from TLG.  TLG certainly does have 3D models of all their parts nowadays.

Now, for the others renders on BO, maybe they are older versions that are not on Brickset anymore but if they are from elsewhere and not from TLG, well, we’ve already established they are not from LDRaw, so she only other possibility for them is Mecabricks (which I doubt because of the quality, or lack thereof).

 

(And it’s Studio now, no dot.  The dot was dropped with version 2 :wink: )

Its not in Mecabricks - thats where I want to get it in ultimately. Interesting know that TLG seems to share the picture with Brickset. And yes for obvious reasons TLG has 3D data of all their parts.

So its remains a mystery where the renders come from....

Brickset pulls their images from Lego's inventory system that's used for missing parts. That part hasn't been in a set for a few years, so it makes sense that it no longer shows up on Lego's site. The renders exactly match the style for Missing Pieces/B&P

Thanks for the explanation and guiding me into the right direction. It makes sense, and I can even confirm it after some further investigation. You can still pull the graphics if you get the Element ID  and use the link below.

https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/element.img.lod5photo.192x192/<ElementID>.jpg

According to Rebrickable and BrickOwl this part has an Item No or Element ID of 6224507 (https://rebrickable.com/parts/38401/minifig-costume-mask-cat-bright-pink-nose-print/ / https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-black-minifigure-hat-36112-38401).

So to pull the graphics from TLG you can use these 2 links:

https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/element.img.lod5photo.192x192/6224507.jpg

or

https://www.lego.com/cdn/product-assets/element.img.lod4photo.192x192/6224507.jpg

Mystery solved, but still now 3D version of the part ....

Unfortunately it's still not a .dat or usable for LDRAW. M2m how do you plan to use it?

Well until I get a real 3D version the pictures aren't helping. I was just guessing that there might be a 3D file out there, based on the rendered pictures. But as the pictures are directly from TLG, only they have a 3D file currently. I'm not good enough / too lazy to create 3D model of this part myself. So basically not much I can do :(
