4.5/5

If you were one of the lucky ones to have LEGO bricks as you grew up, you probably remember the fun times you used to had while playing with them and the wonderful things you probably used to build. On the other hand, stepping on them wasn't wonderful. At all.

Luckily for you, nowadays there are enough software solutions to satisfy almost every need. In this case, Stud.io is one of the applications that enables you to play with LEGO bricks once more, but without the risk of stepping on them.

As stated above, this program was designed to help you play with LEGO bricks directly on your computer by providing you with everything you need, from bricks of all shapes to plates, slopes and other miscellaneous pieces.

The building process is fairly simple; you just need to browse the extensive catalog for the parts you need, drag and drop them on the canvas. Simple as that. You can toggle various features such as collision, snap, grid and snap to grid according to your needs.

If you used similar software before such as LDD or LDraw, you'd be happy to know that Stud.io also provides support for them (LXF, LDR and MPD) and enables you to import old projects created with those specific applications.

The range of supported output documents is broader, as you can export files as Mosaic, LDraw, POV-Ray, Collada and Sketchfab documents, depending on your needs.

If you're a little tech-shy, you might want to load a bunch of samples before attempting to create anything new yourself. Once you launch the application, you'll notice that aside from the helpful tutorial you can also create a new build, open an existing one or access sample projects.

This app features a handy configuration menu where you can adjust general settings, but also ones related to the appearance of the program or input. For instance, the canvas size can be modified, the background color can be changed and the render quality adjusted as you want.

To sum it up, if you ever wanted to play with LEGO bricks but don't have the means of acquiring them, don't want them lying around in your house or don't want them ending up under your bare feet, you might want to give Stud.io a spin. It comes with a user-friendly interface, intuitive controls and an impressive library of LEGO parts.
