Gallery¶
The models below each build with one command from examples/, and each opens in a 3D viewer to orbit, inspect part by part, clip open, and build step by step.
Scenes¶
Each scene sets a subject in its surroundings, with the details that make it lively.
-

Japanese garden · 4,501 elements
A five-story pagoda and a vermilion torii stand by a koi pond under cherry trees in bloom. Filled voxels grow the blossoms.
-

Street corner · 3,372 elements
Four townhouses meet at a corner café with a turret and an onion dome. Components place their 51 windows, 7 doors and 4 awnings.
-

Pirate ship · 4,036 elements
A three-masted galleon flies a Jolly Roger over a choppy sea. Side studs hold the cannons and the anchor, and jumpers center the topmasts.
-

Pumpkin manor · 5,325 elements
A crooked manor rises on a twisted hill, its tower a jack-o'-lantern in a witch's hat. Ghosts haunt the graveyard under a full moon.
-

Lighthouse island · 2,638 elements
A red and white lighthouse stands on rocks filled from voxels, above a keeper's cottage, a beach of palms and a pier with moored boats.
-

Steam train · 2,587 elements
A locomotive waits at a country station with two carriages, both from one component. Round plates on side studs make the wheels.
-

Cottage · 110 elements
Walls in running bond, an arch, a roof of slopes, a sign on a side stud and a lamp post on a jumper.
Sculptures and art¶
Each sculpture shapes its subject from voxels, so curves come out of the same bricks and plates as walls.
-

Macaw · 1,421 elements
A scarlet macaw perches on a branch above a display base. Filled voxels shape the bird, and crossed plates build its tail and leaves.
-

The Great Wave · 5,224 elements
Hokusai's print stands framed as a relief: each pixel has a color and a depth, and the crest's claws of foam reach past the frame.
Landmarks¶
Each landmark rebuilds a real building at scale, with the details that make it recognizable.
-

Elizabeth Tower · 10,683 elements
Big Ben's tower rises 301 plates beside the Palace of Westminster. The blue and gold dials stand sideways on side studs, under a gilded spire.
-

Colosseum · 44,968 elements
Rome's amphitheater at 1:150, filled from 273,616 voxels, with its ruined south side and hypogeum.
