Now you will only see bricks that are available in Lego Worlds.īuilding models in Lego Digital Designer for Lego Worlds is pretty simple. Select the "Filter bricks by boxes" button (the third button from the left). To activate the Lego Worlds filter, go to the bottom left of the screen. If you do not see a UserPalettes folder, create one and put the file there. Note: If you cannot find your AppData folder, you may need to change Windows settings to display hidden files. You can download DasMatze's user palette from:Īfter downloading the file, place it in the following directory:Ĭ:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\UserPalettes What it does is it allows you to filter the Lego Digital Designer bricks to only show the ones currently available in Lego Worlds. However, if you intend to build your own models for use in Lego Worlds, I very highly recommend getting DasMatze's Lego Worlds user palette. Eventually it would be awesome to make it more complex (automatically rigs minifigures, applies textures, etc), but the basic function would be the only necessity to start with.You don't need to do this step if you only plan to simply import/export pre-existing models built by other people. It wouldn’t need to be a very complex plug-in. If there are any people who know how to script, and are interested, please tell me so I know someone got the message. I need some techy fellows to make a script that, I believe, would be well appreciated by the Blender/LEGO community. I would love to make one myself, but have no experience with coding of any kind (except HTML). So if I build a large model using many of the non-existent LDraw pieces in LDD I’ll end up having to rebuild a large portion of the model in LDraw which is not fun and takes valuable animating/rendering time.
The problem is that when you export from LDD (.lxf) to LDraw (.ldr) not all of the data communicates, meaning a model may be missing certain pieces that aren’t in the LDraw system of tools library. LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) has a very easy and intuitive interface that lets you quickly build large models. But LDraw is difficult to model with, especially on bigger models. I make LEGO animations using Blender and LDraw and it works alright.
