It’s not too large a task in Houdini to “voxelize” any object in Houdini into any resolution. Check out this tutorial excerpt from Tim van Helsdingen’s Howdini 101 course for beginners, which covers creating voxels and Lego pieces and putting those together.

Another tutorial shows 3D and Visual Effects Artist Kundan Basnet covering the process of creating lego bricks and quickly making them fill an object in Houdini.
