I've created a complete model of my apartement with it, very intuitive and the renders out of it look great as well. Even for somebody that maybe has built 5 bigger LEGO sets in his life.
@@bellevebricks I‘d say a week or two with me only doing it in the evenings while watching UA-cam or shows. Sadly I never bought the parts to build it for real, I think the tool put me at about $250 for it 😁
I am curious about this use for studio. I have old blue prints of a house from the early 1900's that I would like to use as a basis for creating a lego model of the house...one where I can purchase the bricks, and actually build the model. Does this software allow for such designing? Does it actually allow for drawings to be in a specific scale? Can I import a cad drawing or something similar as a base?
I’ve been meaning to make this same video! I have found studio to be an excellent tool and alternative to building Lego. I have built several vintage sets this route. Great video! Keep it up.
@@MisterDrewski Your pc should be able to manage the heat as it will use less power just before it's starting to overheat, alternatively a docking station with fans in it (25 dollars or something) will help to keep your laptop cool
If you are concerned about stand with a built it fan will help cool your Mac, once it’s loaded all the parts it will work well. You can also try and import the set as a palette instead of loading all the pieces
Oh cool, I can use this to build retired sets and maybe even get a little insight on a set I'm struggling with. (The lighthouse. The mechanism on mine broke the first time and I get to take the whole thing apart...) Building that digitally might help me understand how to put it together physically.
This is a great idea, you can really get in and see how the pieces go together building it in studio! I would love to hear how you get on and if you manage to get your lighthouse rebuilt 👍
@@bellevebricks unfortunately I discovered studio is missing a LOT of custom pieces which isn't the biggest deal if you're just missing printed pieces but when it's minifigs (such as with the minecraft and sonic sets) it becomes a real bummer... So much for my plans to combine several minecraft sets together in a custom world and then build off it, lol. The lighthouse can probably still be doable though, all it seems to be missing is the sticker sheet.
I think the most correct way is to import the set in the palette (especially for larger sets), not in the scene. in this way the parts will be well ordered
If you custom design a build, does the website provide a list of which exact blocks used - so in theory, you could then purchase these and build your design in real-life?

This is awesome, how long did it take you to design your apartment?

Thank you ☺️ I completely agree about Studio being an excellent tool! Do you have any plans to build any more sets in it?
Awesome video, I'm ready to get started now.
Thank you! Have fun building 😊
Thanks, this looks pretty cool!
My pleasure :)
If there are any specific videos you would like me to make let me know 😊
@@bellevebricks My MacBook fan just started going crazy when I tried it sadly so I couldn’t use Studio it because I didn’t want it to overheat

This is a good point, definitely a good way to do it. We will cover a more detailed video that shows how to use the palette soon
00:00 Software for LEGO
00:28 Studio overview
01:11 Import LEGO sets
02:05 Building instructions
03:13 Basic controls
04:49 Render your build
05:12 Importing newer sets
Completely overkill but incredibly clear and to the point. You should make other software videos as well!
Thanks 👍 Did you have any suggestions for other software?
If you custom design a build, does the website provide a list of which exact blocks used - so in theory, you could then purchase these and build your design in real-life?
You can export a parts list and upload that to Bricklink to order the parts of the model that you've created :)
@@bellevebricks oh good. Thanks!
My pleasure 😇😀
