Legolizer: Custom LEGO MOCs

The Legolizer software transforms any 3D model into a precise LEGO MOC (My Own Creation) building instruction.
Designed for LEGO enthusiasts, AFOLs, hobbyists, and creators, Legolizer enables the conversion of digital designs into real-world LEGO masterpieces.

Please note, Legolizer is offered as a commercial service the software itself is not available for download.

A Porsche made of Lego, by Lego Certified Professional R. Hoffmeister and A. Al-Rubaie from 1000steine.com. A basic, mono-coloured Lego structure was made using the legolizer. René and his colleague used it as a basis and then fine-tuned it, added the patterns and colouring and, last but not least, built this impressive piece of Lego art.

Lego Building Instruction

The Lego building instruction save you a lot of time. If you are not a highly skilled sculptor you probably have to build the sculpture multiple times without Lego building instruction since it is difficult to come close to the optimal representation of the original 3d model.
Each Lego building instruction layer - an image - shows you the exact place of the Lego bricks so you can build your sculpture in a relative short time layer by layer.

The digital 3D Lego model can be used for 3D animation and/or stills a 3D printed miniature desktop model made from any material or used to build a custom Lego sculpture or a Lego maquette with real Lego bricks.

Lego Bricks & Color

To reproduce the colors of the original 3D model you can use any color for the Lego bricks. This approach works fine as long as the legolized object is virtual, meaning that it can be used for a 3D animation and/or 3D still.

Building a legolized 3D model as a real-life Lego object may be a problem. Lego bricks are available in a limited range of colors. A 1 x 1 Lego brick is available in the following colors: white, bright red, bright blue, bright yellow, black, dark green, brick yellow, bright orange, medium blue, dark stone gray, reddish brown, medium stone gray, bright yellowish green, light purple, bright purple and medium azure. Depending on the Lego brick type, there may be more or less colors available in the pick-a-brick Lego store.

For a real-life Lego model, the colors of the original 3D model must be converted to one of the available colors, which reduces the fidelity compared to original 3D models (see image above).

Resolution

The bigger the generated 3D Lego model, the more accurate it represents your original 3D model. A bigger 3D Lego model means more bricks ( read a higher overall brick price ).
If you want to use the 3D Lego model for 3D animation or 3D stills the resolution is related to the memory you need. A bigger 3D Lego model means more memory.

Lego & Rigidity

If a real Lego object is not rigid enough it will not withstand gravity.
The inside needs to have an internal structure as well to prevent the object from collapsing from under it's weight.

If you want to use the 3D Lego model for 3D rigidity is not a problem.
