New Advanced LEGO Sculpture Generator

7BS

Hi all,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the past few months—a new LEGO sculpture generator with several advanced features that aren't available in conjunction in any existing programs I'm aware of. The program, which I call NiemanSculpt, supports:

• SNOT techniques
• Slopes, wedge plates, curved slopes, and many other parts
• Automatic coloring based on object image textures

It accepts 3D models in .obj or .stl formats and offers customizable sculpture generation styles. The program also includes a wall-style mosaic generator and a simple find-and-replace function for LDraw and Studio files.

Below are some models designed entirely by NiemanSculpt.

It's free to use non-commercially (I just ask that you attribute the program when displaying models it creates). If you're interested in giving it a whirl, you can find out more and download it here: https://niemansculpt.redwoodlug.org/download/

I'd be curious to hear any feedback, positive or negative. I hope you'll find it a fun and useful tool!

Amazing if it really only took a few months. Looks fiendishly difficult!

The better part of a year, on and off ;)

Saw this on Facebook somewhere at the weekend and immediately sent it to a mate! Really like the results, I was over the large scale builds you see in stores long ago, because they just looked pixellated.
