Stud.io vs Mecabricks Pros and Cons!

[@RennovaMOCs]

I had no idea MecaBricks was more compatible with Blender.

[@BlackerBricks]

Yep it's great!

[@joshuaanthony2884]

I think I Skype my brother into doing Mecabricks stuff like me, which means he has to learn stuff on here too.

LDraw is still around?! I was using it the last time I did any LEGO CAD stuff, _nineteen years ago._ 😄 MLCAD is another one I used back then, and it's also apparently still being maintained. Back in the day, I was exporting stuff from LDraw for rendering in NewTek Lightwave 3D. I just recently fell back down this rabbithole and I gotta say, the modern toolchain is freakin' amazing. (Luckily I've spent most of the past 19 years trying to learn Blender as a replacement for LW3D and it's finally starting to stick! 😁)

It’s ole’!

[@BlackerBricks]

Yep!

[@muhamadsupriyono5468]

Can you add a diagram/photo in any of these? Like a photo that will help you in the design process.

[@BlackerBricks]

There's no tool like that I know of. You can always try opening multiple tabs next to each other

[@SonicPrimus]

You know, I recently downloaded BrickLink Studio and noticed that the head for Sonic the Hedgehog was in the minifigure heads category!

[@BlackerBricks]

Nice!

[@jaeer.campose]

What are the 4 platforms you mentioned??

[@betterlatethannever4529]

These? Stud.io Mecabricks Lego Digital Design L Draw

[@BlackerBricks]

Yep!

[@Ray_9832]

If studio io was more compatible with blender then meca brick would be done

[@robertrutledge8675]

Thanks bro!

[@BlackerBricks]

Glad to help!

I havent disliked a vid in a while but this wasnt a comparison at all. You cant just say "this is 'x', I dont use it so I dont know"

[@jpwaite4556]

so then, in your opinion, which one do you think is better?

[@MondoMurderface]

Mecabricks looks fantastic and all.. but 25 bucks for a cloud based "software" that will 100% some day be complete vaporware? No thanks.. The nicer pieces and less glitchy Blender importing is not worth it.

Never saw the bench, it is a scam. 😖 it is alllllll fakkeeeehhhh.

Can you import oficial lego sets in mecabricks

[@Ianin959]

There are models on mecabricks that replicate real lego sets that you can download and import into the workshop
