  Pretty sure the Studio devs are separate from Bricklink, they get updates and
bug fixes out pretty quick

Still takes bricklink resources as I’m pretty sure people use studio for free
so the only way to fund it is thru bricklink

  I don't think Studio relies on Bricklink anymore since Lego owns both; Studio
replaced LDD as the official designer program, so I'd assume that they would
fund each thing separately

You really think LEGO is funding bricklink and/or studio? Bruh

BrickLink Studio is made, paid, & owned by LEGO BrickLink, Inc.


“We are totally ditching LDD (that we actually already deadlined 7 years ago

Studio”

¹ Yeah, not counting the botched LDD 4.3.12 for Windows in 2019 that has a very
reduced parts library (compared to 4.3.11) that it can’t update.

Not gunna lie. I read this over like 3 times and haven’t the slightest idea what
any of it means all I see is that LEGO bricklink owns studio which they have
since the bought bricklink

LEGO BrickLink, Inc didn’t buy BrickLink, it is BrickLink.  It’s
the name of the company after it was bought by The LEGO Group.

Sorry, I forgot who I was answering to

Here’s a car analogy (I mean, car analogies work with ALL Americans, including
Canadians, right?):

The business ‘BrickLink’ is a car, the catalogue is the engine, the website is
the bodywork, and Studio is the tyres.
The plates said ‘BrickLink, Inc.’

The LEGO Group bought the car.
The plates now say ‘LEGO BrickLink, Inc.’
Same car, same engine, same bodywork, same tyres, different driver.

No?

And I just wonder: what is TLG using when creating renders and instructions?
Surely they know how to do it perfectly.

They have (had?) another version of LDD.  A “professional” version if you like. 
There was a ‘Hollywood’ version for the movies too (or maybe it’s the same).
There’s threads on fan sites where people dissect videos from LEGO (especially
the ones about the movies) and hunt for the computer screens that can be seen
and list the differences with “our” LDD.

That’s why LEGO talked about “LDD Fan” when they ditched it: it’s the public,
free, limited LDD that they abandonned.
The ‘pro’ version has Setec Astronomy… er, I mean "too many secrets,” to
be shared.
