Is there a chance that "we" are making all this effort to create 3D
models of the LEGO parts from scratch, using somewhat cumbersome
software to build them, and LEGO one of these days launches a
spectacular 3D software with all their parts and the possibility of
creating great 3D rendering animations of the parts fitting together,
among other things?

I ask this because I've seen it. :-)
All building instruction in the 8482 CyberMaster set are 3D • ray-traced
animated, with all the parts drawn at the smallest detail, with super
smooth animations of all the parts fitting together. It's beautiful! • :-)



Well, I would assume these (very good) animations are made with some
professional software. I think I have seen somewhere that LEGO uses
AutoCAD (among other things), and going from there to 3D animations is
not difficult, only expensive :-)

The most important thing is the brick data, and this will surely not
be released to the world at large - why make it easier for the
competition?
