The Aurora but it's built in LEGO generated from a 3D model of it

It took me yesterday and today, but after feeding a model through multiple programs I created this:

Here's what it looked like before lego generated with poly2vox:

    Nice. I want to see a minifig scale Cyclops next. I might actually have enough old LEGOs lying around to scrounge up enough parts for something like that.

    @gamer1000k The first one took what felt like forever, but maybe in a couple of days I can make the cyclops. How many blocks long do you want it?

    @nesrak1 I have a funny feeling you already did. :)

    @nesrak1 I was thinking minifig scale. If we assume the character is 2m tall, and the Cyclops is 55m, then according to this LEGO Calculator, it should be 145 studs long.

    @gamer1000k That makes it ~76 "cubes"

    @nesrak1 Now I want to spend a unacceptable amount of time building this in MC.

    I would totally buy Subnautica lego sets, and proudly put the vehicles on display alongside my Death Star.

    After that, because b2b doesn't understand damage values, I replaced all the blocks in mcedit.

    Eh, I did it myself.

    When polyvox generates a model, it only does the outside. Not including the inside, the outer part is made from exactly 76,964 blocks. Each 2x2 block is $0.14 so that means the total cost of building this is:
    Grand total of: $10,774.96
    Edit: Edited calculations. Knew it didn't sound right. Thanks MCEdit. You sure know how to math.

    372768768-347329372=is obviously 76,964.
    Now note that all of the blocks will have to be floating :) so if you'd want to attach everything together, I would tack on another thousand or so.

    A more accurate "Cube" in LEGO is a 2x2 brick with a 2x2 plate on top. It's STILL not exactly a cube, but it's pretty darn close. Also, couldn't you just use slope bricks?

    You're right. I had to setup the part where a grass block is a white wool, a dirt is orange, etc etc in block2brick because it didn't natively support wool. I did use the flat one with a regular 2x2 on top.

    Like the ones at an angle? Remember I converted a file from assets to obj to kv6 to schematic to world to lxf. Polyvox only supports blocks, and one type of brick. It's all computer generated. It doesn't know better.
