![]() While a “virtual experience” will never replace the physical build and experience of a LEGO set (which is why they can offer it for free), there are so many things Studio does right. Beautiful renders and even a TIME-LAPSE of the build all done in one program (warning: the time lapse rendering process nearly melted My laptop and took nearly 20 hours). Over the holiday break I completed a MOC (my own creation – seen throughout this post) of the iconic NIKE MAGs from Back to the Future (2016 release) to put on LEGO Ideas. Need to unwind? You can download LEGO instructions and build official sets virtually - virtually anywhere. The storage for this infinite set of parts is down to the size of your computer and you don’t have to worry about stepping on any little plastic hazards. The software is constantly updated with new elements soon after they are released in physical sets. ![]() So, what can be done with the software and why has it toppled Photoshop for me? It fulfills a childhood dream: the chance to open an endless box of LEGO with all the colors and elements you can imagine. Pretty impressive to beat out LEGO’s own LEGO Digital Designer. In the recent past the LEGO Group purchased Bricklink, the team behind Studio and more recently (Jan 12, 2022) have officially endorsed Studio as the official virtual building tool for LEGO. Studio 2.0 is the most robust digital building software for building, rendering, and creating instructions. Well then, what could contend with Photoshop? In 2014 a small group of AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) started work on what would eventually become the cleverly named Stud.io. Photoshop, and for good reason, is by far still the industry standard for editing raster graphics. Photoshop, over time has even transformed itself as a software, to a neologism (a newly coined word or phrase that hasn’t yet entered common usage) and on to being a fully established word. Previously, and for decades, that spot was staunchly held captive by Adobe’s Photoshop. In ringing in the new year, this month, I’m excited to announce that I have a new favorite creative software.
