Topic: How do you use MLCad, LeoCad, and Blender3.1?

Hey everyone! I'm just getting started on CGI animations with lego bricks, but I've already animated with non-CGI legos. Being new to CGI, I need some help learning the basics of MLCad, LeoCad, and Blender3.1. Thanks,

I have it all downloaded, but when I open MLCad, it says "Status: Invalid path (no parts and/or P dir found). How do I solve this? But after that, I still need to know how to use MLCad. And LeoCad. And Blender3.1.

All you do is build your model in LeoCad, Export as a .3ds file (or the other options) and the in Blender go to File>Import>.3ds* and import your file. I'm not sure how to animate in Blender but you might find out if you watch some tutorials on YouTube.

hey that's not fair my company name is BGStudios. BGanimations is basically stealing considering i joined and started animating before you.

C910 is awesome. Gonna try to post an animation EVERY WEEK! SUNDAY or MONDAY!

Sorry DarthSpooky007! I really had no idea you had a company called BGStudios. But the BG just stands for my first name, Bennett, and my last name, witch starts with a G. Hence, BGanimations. But the name is actually different, even though we both do animations. If it would make you feel any better though, I could say on my youtube channel that you have a Company called BGStudios. Sorry about that, but I don't make any profit off of my videos anyway, I just animate for fun.

Use the edit button, there's no need to double post.

I have no clue on the workings of CGI, so you may want to send a PM to the CGI brickfilmers on this site, such as Leonardo, or Smeagol

Use a modeling software (such as LeoCad) and then export it to a rendering software (Blender).
