!!Con West 2019 - Michael Knowles: Hacking Lego! Computer generated Lego instructions!

Presented at !!Con West 2019: http://bangbangcon.com/west I like Lego, but the idea of making large sculptures without some sort of blueprint was intimidating. Instead of going to art school, I wrote a tool that uses a 3D object or scan and converts it into a sort of Lego instructions that I could use as a guide. Easy giant Lego sculptures! Well, easy to that step. Actually getting the parts and putting it together is a different talk. Easy giant Lego sculpture … instructions! This talk will cover what was learned in the process of making this tool, including some general thoughts about leveraging libraries in your code.
