Sure! Here's a link to the program download. Bricklink is a non-official Lego source where you can buy new or used parts from all over the world, or even entire sets and minifigs. Stud.io is a program used to model Lego digitally, and although slightly limited, is very powerful and can be used to make nearly anything you would IRL (with some practice and patience). The cool thing is Stud.io is made by Bricklink, so it has up-to-date prices in-program for all parts in all available colors, with the ease to send your digital build straight to their website to order the parts to build your creation. But wait, there's more! It also has a photo-realistic rendering program packaged with it, so you can truly visualize your creation, and now an instruction editor/creator, so you can print off your instructions or prepare them for others to use if you decide to sell your set's build.
Technically you could ask if the creator had a CAD file for it and then upload it into Studio (LEGO CAD) and it would tell you every single exact piece you need to make it. It would also probably cost $$$ orr $$$$.
Oh my god. LeoCad? you poor soul. Just download Stud.io and never look back.

Really good work! Have you ever thought of using stud.io? It's basically the same thing, but with more parts, the ability to connect to Brickink and order your model, and a built-in tool for creating renders of your models. I believe you can also import LDD files, so you can bring in the Pokemon you've already made without any trouble.
I don't know the search function of LDD, but you might want to give stud.io a shot. I am able to find (most) parts very quickly. It's beeing developed development and has some nice features and a clean and modern interface.

The effects I used are 'building sequence - user defined' and 'revolve'.
​
Some settings did not work for complex scenes. For example, when I chose 'building sequence - auto generated' and/or 'brick falling down effect', a progress dialog was popped up but blocked indefinitely.

The generated video is not encoded in H.264 so that I have to convert it before uploading to YouTube.
Thanks! I used a free LEGO building program called Stud.io. In addition to having the entire LEGO brick library at your disposal, you can also click to buy the bricks to build it (via Bricklink), and export realistic renders like this one. It is a fun program for LEGO enthusiasts.

Used Stud.io from Bricklink. It's completely free, requires a bit of patience until you get used to it and learn where everything is, but has a reasonably decent image render software built into it too.

Pick a brick likely wouldn’t carry that many specific pieces. If you want a custom colored version of that model, I’d recommend downloading stud.io and rebuilding the set off the official instructions in the program. The instructions should be posted on Lego’s website on release (sadly that’s probably a few months away), or you can google if someone’s managed to reverse engineer the exterior. Then you’d be able to tweak colors whatever way you want, and it’ll tell you if specific parts are available in specific colors. Stud.io models can also be imported to Bricklink if you want to buy all the pieces, but be warned that depending on the size/quantity of lots and how rare some pieces are, it’s going to get even pricier than a normal Lego set. Cost me over 50 USD to buy all the parts for a chibi siege tank moc with about 360~ pieces.
I can give you some advice on how to use Bricklink if you’re interested. It’s somewhat more involved than Amazon/Ebay.
https://archbrick.com/2016/12/16/9-great-elements-for-building-lego-microscale-architecture/ is the best thing I can find, or the Architecture sets if you don’t want to design your own.
Instead of buying bricks, you could also take a look at https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page
This is how I started after I exited my dark age and before I raided my parents' house to steal back my childhood LEGO. A few pieces of advice:
- Necessity is the mother of invention. See what you can do with the parts you have. Honestly, my most cool and creative MOCs were made before I grew / recovered my parts collection.
- Yard sales and community flea markets / consignment sales are great places to pick up large amounts of cheap LEGO.
- Creative boxes and Creator 3-in-1 sets tend to have awesome price-per-part and allow you to expand your parts stash in a direction targeted to your genre (e.g. if you're after houses, go for 31069. If you want to build race cars, do 31072 instead). Bonus: these sets are usually 20% off MSRP at Target and similar big box stores.
- Go digital! With stud.io it's never been easier to create the MOC of your dreams out of an infinite parts supply. You can either turn those into high-quality CAD renders or bring them into physical being by creating Bricklink want lists directly from the application.
It's downloadable from here.
I've also just found the solution here in their beta forum.
It needs to be run with dx9 like this:
wine64 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Stud.io/Stud.io.exe -force-d3d9
(When I posted my question here, I already have tried to find their forum, but I found one that had no content at all, I'd swear.)
Or you could download Stud.io right here !.
It works kind of like a 3d design software but for LEGOs ! It's really cool you should give it a look ! (It even supports native .LDD files)
Ask, and you shall receive!
Tell me if you've managed to get the file.
I see that someone already provided you a link for LDD. So you can have more options : https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page

Back again with small diorama, featuring the differences between UNE and COM how to celebrate Halloween on an alien world correctly.
Model info:
- 852 parts
- created and rendered in Studio 2.0
Studio (2.0 to be specific) from BrickLink: https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page
You can build and render in it. Apparently there is also a part editor to make custom stuff, but that's separate I think.
Originally I built the ship in LeoCAD, because it was the only program, that could handle the amount of bricks while being less confusing than MLCAD.
Today I would only recommend Studio or LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) as an easier alternative (studio also has an import function to import models from other brick building programs).
If anyone was wondering, the official virtual brick designer by Lego called 'Lego Digital Designer' sounds as though it isn't supported any more.
'BrickLink Studio' seems to be one alternative.
It looks like it would be a fun introduction to CAD (3D modelling) software and 3D printers for people. There are a lot of open-source and otherwise free ones out there, e.g. Blender, FreeCAD.
>, Lego Digital Designer (CAD for Legos),
Give Studio a try https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page
You'll probably like it better, I liked it better when it was still in Beta. It's great too because it makes exporting your elements to Bricklink stupid-easy to buy what you don't have if you want to build a MOC in the real world.
„So you are telling me that these extradimensional invaders are trying to consume all sentient life in the galaxy?“
„Yes CEO, they already destroyed two empires in the southwest of the galaxy including one of our rivals.“
„Excellent! They are looking for food you say? Rember those starfish primitives in our western sector? I remember that a group of Fanatic Purifiers called them very tasty. I have an idea!
„But, sir, aren´t we a xenophile empire after all?“
„We are fanatic materialists as well. Don´t forget that. Now try to contact the leader of those Unbidden. We have something to sell to them!
Another small LEGO diorama. Even with the Unbidden at their borders, I am sure as hell, that there would be at least one empire trying to negotiate their way out oft he crisis.
There might be a reference to a specific r/Stellaris discussion hidden in this picture. ;)
Model info:
- 1063 parts
- Created and rendered in Studio 2.0
It was done in Stud.io 2.0. It’s a well polished 3rd party application that has integrated features for rendering, instruction making, and part purchasing through BrickLink.
Welcome to the homeworld of MegaCorp, where species from all over the galaxy are our guests. Enjoy your stay and ignore those drug dealers and Shared Burden sympathizers. Here at MegaCorps we take care of your safety! (As long as you respect the laws of capitalism™.)
I finally finished my biggest Stellaris LEGO so far, representing the surface of an Ecumenopolis of a xenophile MegaCorps. Countless numbers of aliens are visiting this world for trade, market transactions or just entertaiment. Even if they didn´t want to. (Looking at you Commonwealth of Man.)

This is the official download page. I should auto detect your system but I would scroll down and select the one you need from the last change log. If your running Windows make sure you are selecting the correct build for your system 32 or 64 bit. It should be either a .exe file for windows of .dmg for Mac
Yes there is. There are 2 such programs. One is older called LDD (Lego Digital Designer iirc). But there's a new one that you can download from bricklink called Studio.
I've never actually used either one, but I always see creations from people who use them.
Studio will probably be the best option. It even has a function to import all the pieces from an official set (if you're building one) so you don't have to search through million pieces. https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page
Just to clarify, I built and rendered this MOC digitally with Studio 2.0
I hope you all enjoy! I would love to hear any comments/feedback that you have. Thanks!

To get the most valuable experience of experimenting with Lego then quite frankly yes, you do need to buy a bunch of random sets. It gives you experience in finding alternative ways to come up with ideas due to having a limited amount of parts. As a rule of thumb I'd argue that a good place to start is The Lego Movie and Star Wars sets. Lego Movie sets always have special pieces in unique parts, and Star Wars sets always have grey and black pieces and connectors, along with a bunch of smaller Technic pieces.
​
If you do a bit of snooping around on Google and especially Flickr, you can check out useful pieces and connectors for mech building. Better yet, play around on Stud.io (https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page) or Lego Digital Designer to get an idea of what you'd need to buy.
​
Tough shit if you want to build the exact model in OP's post, because sitting down to make instructions along with a comprehensive part list for a model that very likely has in excess of 1500 pieces is just unrealistic whichever way you swing it.
It's a program made by Bricklink called Studio 2.0. It's really great!
Here's the link if you want to check it out: https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking but you can design stuff on programs like this. Obviously you can get pieces to build from any set but you can use bricklink for more options/specific parts. If you're talking about "build guides" for other people's mocs it depends if the creator released anything. Hopefully I answered some questions?
Stud.io. It’s a LEGO building program made by fans, and it is super well designed. You can build anything with an infinite supply of every LEGO piece in every color of all time. The program even has built in rendering software to make your models go the extra mile and look relatively realistic.
Also, you can build online with friends on the same ‘canvas’, allowing each of you to add to a creation at the same time. You can also download instructions and all the parts required to build almost any LEGO set of all time. All for free.
Also, can’t step on digital bricks!
Frankly, it’s a mind-blowing program.
Check out Stud.io a free digital lego building too. I've built things I could never really afford inside them, both MOCs and using the instructions available for free through lego's website.
You might want to try stud.io from Bricklink. https://studio.bricklink.com/v2/build/studio.page
It allows you to use the entire Lego pallet, but doesn’t have the restrictions of LDD, such as allowing brick collisions, and any color option. It’s easier to use than LDraw, and more feature rich than LDD.
Mecabricks is another option, http://www.mecabricks.com, but it’s entirely online.
Volevo ringraziarti perché dopo aver pubblicato questo tuo post ho cominciato a smanettare con Stud.io ed oggi ho creato questo Batman BrickHeadz come esercizio per imparare a usare il programma.
