LEGO Ideas usage
PyrokineticNinjaMaster started this discussion in General Discussion

So, I just joined, and I am a little confused. When I saved one of my models, it said that I couldn't use it in any third party platform etc. and then at the bottom it said that if it is being used for LEGO ideas it is exempt from all of that. So how much does that entail?

Also, if you can download the textures is it alright to use those on a third-party software system?

If you'll make a render of your model, you can use it on LEGO Ideas. That's fine.
You can always mention that you used Mecabricks, which would be nice for the developer of Mecabricks.

Do not upload any of the 3D models or textures you've downloaded on third party platforms since these belong to Mecabricks.
But you can use it in Blender to make a render of it.

You can use the exported models in 3D software like Blender (or any others) to create your images/animations for non commercial purposes, but you cannot re-use the assets in building software like Studio, LDD, etc or platforms like Sketchfab.

Great! Thank you 😉

OK. Does that mean I can use Studio to just RENDER the model? Cause I don't want to download another massive rendering thing, and I've got Studio pretty well figured out, so please? If not, I understand, just wondering.

Mecabricks 3D assets cannot be imported in Studio.

Oh, k. Just wondered. (As a side note, it seems a little unfair that we can import studio/ldd models, but can't export as those file types. Just sayin')

Importers have been designed to answer user requests. I'd rather not have them. Creating valid exporters for these formats is much more complex and requires even more resources for support. There is definitely nothing unfair here. No assets are being imported, only the files are parsed.
