    The design shown at 5:45 was created by an artist by the name of Brickalypse. I was commissioned by someone to recreate it, little did I know about Brickalypse's policies.
    As of now, I believe the issue to be resolved, as I directed the artist to the person who commissioned the work after he alerted me.
    So... what did we learn from this?
    Make sure that the person you're working for has permission for the designs they want you to recreate.
    Be careful of what you're doing out there!

    Just so everyone knows, I get the UV maps (or templates) by downloading a part from Mecabricks, and then I export the UV layout in Blender.
    You can also export the textures by using the Image Editor.

      BTW, I am contacting a fee folks about the specific PAD printing Printers that produce the best results. Because as my research has now shown, LEGO uses PAD printing, but no specific brand, as to meet their assembly needs and timing, they spent millions in developing a multipad (1-10 PAD heads depending on the particular line/part being created) PAD Printer whose PAD head and arms stay in a tight position, but the ink trays are what slides in and out to ink said pads, and then the pads only move down about 3 to 6 inches, and then move back up to wait for the very next part!
      This is what my research has shown, and why we are never told the specific type of printer or brand, because there isn't a brand, just a print type!
      Also, PAD printing allows them to print on fully 3D items l I ke the rounded heads or other parts, and PAD printing allows for truly great coloring and even Metallica to be printed without the loss of quality, you cannot get Metallica with a sparkle, nor great color quality with UV Printing at all, at least not for what LEGO needs done!
      I may not be able to tell you the type of Orinters they use, but the injection mounding machines used on one of their lines is a WITTMAN Battenfeld 65/350 Injection Moulding machine. The special factor about these printers is they use hot runners so that once the part is complete and it drops into the bin, it's ready to use immediately.... No Spree to break off or sand down. They also understand the mounding Lin at the bottom of each Brock so that's why you never see those on LEGO blocks like you do with Chinese made bricks or other off brand bricks!
      I am coming to learn all the little intricacies about LEGIS on an almost internal level with the people that I am speaking with, It's crazy!
