LEGO Digital Designer (LDD)
The models have been created using LEGO Digital Designer (in the Extended Mode) which can be found here:
http://ldd.lego.com/

LDD things you might not know
Under the edit tab, there is a preferences option, which may (depending on your computer) allow you to generate a higher-quality picture.
You may also want to explore the outlines on bricks option as well (I think it makes building easier, even if you don’t want to see the outlines in a final picture).
If you use Ctrl k in the Build mode it allows you to save an image with a white background (which currently will show with a grey background on the Discover pages).

Thank You GlenBricker and Better Backgrounds

if you want to experiment with adding your own backgrounds, so they don’t show with the grey background.

Thank You GRusso and POV-Ray Rendering
GRusso
https://ideas.lego.com/profile/GRusso/projects
pointed out to me that rendering is a better option than simply using LDD and is not as difficult as it looks and provided me with the links below.
You need two pieces of software, one to convert the LDD file and the other to complete the rendering (which can take a number of hours, depending on the complexity of the model and the bricks used). The software can be found here:
