Lego Generator

Milad_Kambari in Modeling


Lego Generator turns any 3D model into a LEGO-style brick build in one click. It voxelizes your model into a grid of bricks, and every brick automatically takes the color of your model's texture at that spot. It works with single and multi-material models, builds a hollow shell so the scene stays light, and is fully non-destructive (powered by Geometry Nodes).

INSTALLATION

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

2. Click the arrow (top-right) > Install from Disk.

3. Select Lego_Generator.zip and enable the addon.

4. Open the N-panel in the 3D Viewport and go to the "Lego Generator" tab.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

QUICK START

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. Set "Model" to the object you want to convert (it must be UV-unwrapped and have an image material).

2. Press "LEGO".

Done — your model is now a colored brick build.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

SETTINGS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Model — the object to convert.

- Lego Brick — (optional) use a brick object that is already in your scene.

- Lego File — (optional) path to a .blend file containing an object named "LEGO". The addon appends it and uses it as the brick. If both Lego Brick and Lego File are empty, a built-in cube brick is used.

- Lego Size — spacing between bricks. Smaller = more, finer bricks.

- Shell Thickness — depth of the surface shell. The inside stays empty so the result is light.

- Viewport % — how many bricks are shown in the viewport (for smooth editing). The final render always shows 100%.

- LEGO — build / rebuild.

- Remove — remove the Lego build from the model.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TIPS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Everything is non-destructive — press LEGO again after changing any setting.

- For heavy models, lower "Viewport %" to keep editing smooth; the render stays full.

- To make the result lighter overall, increase "Lego Size".

- Multi-material models just work — each material's color is sampled per brick automatically.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

REQUIREMENTS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Blender 4.2+ (tested on 5.1).

- The model must be UV-unwrapped.
