Topic: Export LDD for phoitorealism?
Are there any 3D modeling programs that allow a user to import a file from Lego Digital Degisner, and render it with photorealism?

LDD to Pov-Ray. It's Windows-only. I'll find the link.
EDIT: Here ya go. Best of luck.
Blender has a plugin that will allow you to import LDraw files.
Blue Render is one that I don't have experience with, but has some decent results.
I've used LDDtoPovray several times. It's slow as all get out, but yields some really nice renders.
I think I dabbled in both of those programs a bit, but before LDD existed. Thank you for the advice.
The LDD and LeoCad models are about the same for standard bricks, but LDD is actually better for round things, minifigs, and such (due to the fact that it's official LEGO instead of just fan measurements). But it still takes a lot of work to make them photorealistic. It's not as simple as import/export.

Yeah it still surprises me no one has made a high quality library for this kind of thing.
