I didn't know that one existed, I only knew of another one that only supported ldr files (and hasn't been updated in a while). This one however, supports dat, ldr and mpd files and seems to be relatively active too. It also has two modes: realistic and 'instruction style', which is a nice plus too.

I'm by far not a Blender expert, but I very quickly tried it on a small mpd file and the realistic mode produces quite a nice image without any tinkering (I just imported the model and pressed render). It's by far not as realistic as those Blender renders from Mecabricks, but pretty nice nonetheless  Smile


And just to make it extra clear: I'm not the author of this tool, just figured I'd share it here because I hadn't seen it here before (correct me if I'm wrong).

Thank for sharing this. I remember seeing something about a Blender import tool before, but your post has prompted me to try this out (I was getting very frustrated with my other Blender import method that goes via the LdrDat2Dxf tool).

I've just installed the Add-On and got this image using all the default settings - very impressed so far.
The MPD for this model can be found on this thread: https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-22295-post-26071.html
