Makuta Posted April 15, 2012 Hello, I recently joined CUUSOO and I am trying to find out how to make a CGI image of a project. Can someone please help me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLuders Posted April 15, 2012 @ Makuta: Why don't you use Lego Digital Designer (LDD) to build a computer model of your creation? It's easy to use, and you can make many Computer-Generated Images (CGIs) via PNG image files that you can upload to Lego CUUSOO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLuders Posted April 15, 2012 ... but Philo does! See this Eurobricks topic about "Philo's LEGO 3D Scanner (Used for 3D LDRAW Parts) -- NXT Software Available to Scan Any Shape with Laser." The shows a "Laser scan of a LEGO part using DAVID laser scanner": Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superkalle Posted April 15, 2012 For me it's a bit unclear what you want to do Makuta. Do you have a complete MOC built up that you want to make digital model of? Or do you have customized physical minifig that you want to make into a digital "element" so you can place it into a digital model? In any case, if you want to create a custom digital Lego-element, you can't use LDD - your only option is to use the Ldraw platform like DLuders indicates.
