Blender is not a requirement. Parts can be modeled in any software as long as they can be exported in a format that Blender can open (for final export to threejs format). For e.g. soliworks can export to STL that can be opened by Blender.

I wrote a post a while ago with simple guidelines: http://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/15

For decorations, a simple image editor is enough. However, I redraw (vectorise) the decoration using the mecabricks colour palette and therefore it is better if it has vector capability. I guess Inkscape shall do the job - I actually need to try it to maybe replace Illustrator.

I can provide the UV maps for decorated parts - It is actually a template to know where to locate decorated area on the image canvas.

Is there a possibility do import LDraw to SW? Then I could start straight away.

LDView or LeoCAD can export LDraw parts to OBJ.
After, I think you need the scan to 3D add-in to import OBJ files in SolidWorks.

Be careful with Ldraw parts. They have their own measurement system which is somehow different from real parts.

32069 and 6590 are missing bricks for 31030-1: Red Go-Kart

6590 is an alias of 3713 which is in the library (I added it in the alias list).

76116 missing for another set.
(varies on part 53989)

EDIT: Replaced this part with 53989.

Ok! I do have inkscape, so can you send those UV maps and some basic instructions?

Thanks Scrubs. I'll see how far I get and in case of troubles I'll ask you. 😃

@UmbraManis.
Can you send me an email via the Contact Us menu in the footer of this page? I will answer back with a couple of links to download UV maps and examples.

32069 Done.

Thanks Scrubs!

54196 is a alias of 2654

I'm currently learning as i go with the Arctic pilot torso. So far i think i'm doing ok.

Looking forward to see the result!

Sent my attempt!

I'm missing a pair of stickers for part 41747 and its mirror 41748. They can be seen on page 57 of these building instructions and are part of this sticker sheet.

EDIT: I'll probably be missing all of the stickers on the sheet. I'm interested in learning how I can help make them.

Missing part 43708 for set 75060

EDIT: and 87559

@UltraHex, this will be the missing parts for your set.

The flickr from Brickset has a higher resolution sticker sheet available in case you need it:

Thanks Sim533! I think I'll finish building what I can and then look into learning how to make parts for mecabricks.

Hi !
