Peering into my crystal ball, I think this makes a lot of sense keeping this on Bricklink, as I can foresee LEGO connecting Bricklink Studio functionality to allow users to create custom sets, which are then sold to the public, in the same vein as what weвЂ™ve seen with the Bricklink Designer Program

Largely, I think itвЂ™s an important step forward and a clue of how LEGO intends to integrate BricklinkвЂ™s technology into LEGOвЂ™s own digital ecosystem. Personally, IвЂ™m not much of a MOC builder, and when I do, I prefer building with physical bricks, but I expect this will largely impact many builders who have gotten used to LDD for their design process.

In 2014, then-independentВ BrickLinkВ createdВ theВ BrickLinkВ StudioВ softwareВ asВ a freeВ virtualВ LEGO buildingВ tool.В Studio was builtВ on theВ industry-standardВ Unity gaming engineВ and isВ designed to integrate withВ theВ BrickLinkВ Marketplace.В ItsВ .io file format is based on theВ fanВ community-developedВ LDrawВ standard withВ part connectivity dataВ addedВ to giveВ digitalВ bricks clutch power.В Users can importВ LEGO models built in LDD,В LDraw, and other popularВ tools.В StudioВ includes useful features likeВ model stability checking, built-in photo-realistic rendering, and an integrated instructions maker. The talented team behind Studio see this clearly and continue relentlessly to further innovate and improve the Studio experienceвЂќ. For digital building to be not only a nice feature for some, but a meaningful part of many peopleвЂ™sВ LEGOВ building experience, it must be an integrated and useful part of both the design, the building and the sharing experience.

TormodВ Askildsen, head ofВ AFOLВ Engagement for the LEGO Group, has been intrigued by digital building sinceВ using LDD to bring alternate model instructions for the LEGO Factory Hobby Train set to market in 2007.В вЂњWhen the LEGO Group acquiredВ BrickLink,вЂќВ AskildsenВ said, вЂњone of the things that impressed and inspired us was their purposeful development of the Studio software. They have truly inspired a generation of digitalВ LEGOВ creators.вЂќ I amВ soВ proud of the teamВ behind LDDВ and the greaterВ virtual building community. TheyВ took ownershipВ and created the most amazing virtual LEGO modelsВ and have grown the virtual building ecosystem. вЂњOurВ initialВ visionВ for LEGO Digital DesignerВ back in 2002В wasВ to make building on a computer accessible and fun for childrenВ вЂ“В to play with andВ share their creations online.вЂќВ said Ronny Scherer, producer ofВ the first-generationВ LEGO Digital Designer.В вЂњI am so impressedВ withВ how the communityВ of creatorsВ has evolved.В Builders-enthusiasts and professionals alike-haveВ usedВ LDD in wonderful and unexpected ways. Now after almostВ twenty years since its conception andВ eighteen years in distribution, LEGO Digital Designer will retire and pass the mantle toВ BrickLinkВ Studio as theВ officially supported and maintained 3D building application. It has played a prominent role in various offerings, from LEGO Factory, LEGO DesignВ ByME, LEGOВ video games and movies. LDD pioneeredВ real-time rendering ofВ LEGOВ bricks, virtual brick connectivity, andВ the compact LEGO Exchange file format (LXF) which made LEGO models built in LDD light and portable. LEGO Digital Designer was released in 2004 as the LEGO GroupвЂ™s 3D building tool.
