[HelpDesk] sculpture

[Jedi]

LDraw is not capable of taking a drawing/image and making a 3D model of out it with the details of how many/what type of bricks you will need.
   
  However while I don't personnaly know the person who has such software I can tell you where you might find him.  This person does LEGO sculptures for a living and has some type of software that helps him create the sculptures.  He probably won't give you the software but may provide you the instructions you need.
   
  Go to www.lugnet.cad and post looking for the dino-sculpture guy.  I know he visits those fourms.

  Hello I hope you can help me. I am the new fine arts director at a very poor school avg income is less than $14k. I am trying to bring things to my students that they might never be able to experience. We already use legos in the art room ( I purchased out of my pockets).The kids love Legos and building!
I have a vision of a 4 foot tall Lego eagle(our school mascot) made out of royal blocks white head and yellow beak and tallons. I am currently writing grants to procure the funding. Could L draw take a drawing and make it into the masterplan for exact blocks we would need to make this sculpture? 
My family recently visited Walt Disney World and I saw the huge Lego sculpture there. My boys were facinated and that inspired my Eagle for our school of 700+ kids k-5th grade. What a great benefit it would be for the kids to work on a large build and what a fun addition the sculpture would be to our school. ( it is OLD and needs sprucing up)
I wrote to Lego and they said they did not fund this sort of thing but I have now found an engineering firm with a $2000.00 grant that I think this project will appeal to- I just need to get realistic about what kind of numbers on the bricks. Would I have a wood under eagle and then build with bricks around or should the sculpture be pure bricks? Do you know others I might talk to and also other possible funding avenues. Thanks - Susan Bishara
