Duck
A rubber duck: round, one main colour, a good first try.
Open the duck and spin itBrick model examples
Real objects, rebuilt in bricks by Brickalike. Each pair shows the 3D model on the left and the brick model on the right. Open any one to spin it, change the detail and see the exact brick count. Nothing here is mocked up: it is the same result you get from your own scan or 3D file.
Chair
Thin legs and a seat: shows how bricks handle gaps.
Open the chair and spin it
Helmet
A dark, detailed shape, which bricks simplify a lot.
Open the helmet and spin it
Camera on a tripod
Tall and thin, with fine detail that gets blocky.
Open the camera and spin it
Avocado
Two colours and a smooth curve: a good test of the colour matching.
Open the avocado and spin itAlso try the fox
A fox is a good test of a long, low shape with several colours. Open the fox and spin it. It has no picture here, but you can change its detail and see its brick count live, like the others.
What decides how it looks
- Detail: from 8 to 72 studs wide. More studs means a smoother shape and more bricks.
- Bricks or plates: thinner plates give finer detail.
- Colours: all 22 colours, or the easy-to-buy ones if you plan to build it from real bricks.
