With Blocker blender addon you will be able to convert all your 3D models into a Lego brick style. 
Created through Blender Geometry Nodes, Blocker gives you the ability to change features and adjust them to your liking in realtime.
Do not feel apart if you are starting out with Blender, Blocker features are pretty easy-going and specific so you will not get lost chaging the parameters.

BRICKS

This addon comes along with 24 different usable blocks. If desired, to change them just specify the dimensions (X,Y,Z) of the replacing brick. Do not panic! maths are far away from being necessary to use Blocker. By typing 1, 2, 3 or 4, the bricks will change their dimensions instantly.

MATERIAL

Shading is a very important aspect when it comes to 3D art. No matter how good your model looks on 3D Viewport. Unless accompanied by the appropriate material, it will lose a lot of potential. That is the reason why Blocker, apart from a good-looking geometry, also cares about shading and includes its own material.


It includes the Procedural PBR Plastic Material, a customizable material that will make your Blocker 2.0 renders standout. As its name suggest (PBR, Physically Based Render), this material aims especially for realism. You will take a leap in quality using the Procedural PBR Plastic Shader rather than Blender´s default Principled BSDF with a low roughness. A picture is worth a thousand words so have yourself a look at the difference.


In addition, you will be able to add metallic and transparent bricks to your models. Use the Random mask per brick, included with the shader, to combine standard, metallic and transparent bricks.

Observe how on the top of the cupcake there is a mix between the standard bricks and some transparent ones. The amount of each type of bricks is up to you, as always.

The material comes up with an option to enable procedural Photorealistic features (Dents, Scratches, Fingerprints) in order to achieve even more realism in your renders.

The Procedural PBR Plastic Material can be also obtained separately here.

ANIMATION PRESETS

What about animation? If you want to take your Lego brick renders a step further with some cool animations, you can. Currently, Blocker 2.0 includes three animation presets:

  • Layer Desintegration        


Animated in Eevee.
  • Blocks Assembly 


Animated in Eevee.

  • Landscape Animation (for Blocker Landscape Generator)


Animated in Cycles

Adjust the final look of the animation by customizing speed, direction, randomness... try to variate them to achieve completely different animations.

BLOCKER LANDSCAPE GENERATOR

Legolizer addon includes a Blocker Landscape Generator which can be useful for creating nature scenaries without losing the block´s vibe.  


Blocker Landscape Generator is loaded out with six landscape presets inspired in realife biomes (Shore, Rocky Mountains, Desert, Swamp, Ice, Canyon). Each and every preset does come along with its own material adapted to the characteristics of the landscape (Height, Base level...). Therefore, try to compliment both, geometry and material, for a better result.


You can easily change the landscape preset in the "Preset Toggle" button. 

As always, you will have the ability to adjust some parameters to create different looking block terrains (Scale, Depression, Base level, micro-relief...). In spite of not being part of Blocker 2.0 animation presets, each and every parameter of Blocker Landscape Generator can be animated. By variating the value of the parameter throughout the timeline, you can also create really cool animations.

All the Animation Presets are also compatible and available with Block Landscape Generator

BLOCKER 2.0 UTILITIES

As a Blender addon, Blocker 2.0 utilities can be infinite, creativity is the one and only limit you would find. However, here is a list of cool stuff you can create with Blocker 2.0:

  • Turn your 3D models into Blocks style. No matter how complex geometry is, it will always fit perfectly with Blocker 2.0.
  • Create amazing block animations to take your renders into a whole different world.
  • Design landscapes with Blocker Landscape Generator to set up an appropriate scenary for your legolized models.
  • Take advantage of the Procedural PBR Plastic Material included in Blocker 2.0. Apply it to different models, not only bricked-up ones, and enjoy the plastic material.
