GIF(133KB): http://www.paulleduc.com/modelpage.html (bottom) A Lego man made of 5 seperate models (head, body, legs, arms , hands.) Whole Lego man: 21 objects, 1957 faces, 3547 edges and 2792 vertices. I'm suprised that it's that high poly. :/ I think i'm gonna make "Lego Man Studio" or something like that, i've already made it so you can change the colours of each part with the click of a button. (Don't worry, I got permission from Lego :) ) I don't know why some parts are blue in the last pic. Wings just imported(.3ds) it like that. I think it has something to do with UU3D doing something with duplicate groups. Anyways, tell me what you think. |

You should check out Leocad for these,... it's a 3d modelling app with lego pieces. http://www.leocad.org/ I think just about every lego piece ever made is in there, and you can even export it to .3ds Anyone want to make a lego game in 3D? |

Thanks. :) Pongo: Woah, that's cool. There are lots of 3D Lego games, I like Lego Racers 2: http://www.lego.com/eng/interactive/product.asp?Title=Racers+2&Code=PC |

Remember though that Lego is fairly anal about using Lego related items in your projects. So beware the lawyers. I tried my hand at a lego game a long time ago. I had some trouble figuring out how to make everything look like lego, while keeping a low polycount. Those little round pins on every block really tend to mess up the polycount in a scene *fast*. Perhaps now it can be done with normal mapping or shaders instead of modeling them? |

You wanna talk about LEGO - ask Ruz (of Skinny Bob the Jester fame), he's worked for them in some software respect and even has a couple of piccies on his website. IPete2. |

Hey!!! thats really cool :), I actually worked on a licensed lego game once about 5 years ago, that was pretty interesting. Lego actually built custom pieces that we designed specialy. They were pretty touchy about getting exact match on the colours we had to use a lego colour chart and eyedrop the colours for the bricks. Got a few renders of some of some of it. |

Very cool!! |
| ||
So non-commercial use is allowed eh? Wicked :D I'll have to pull some stuff out of the dustpile and work on it again :) LEGO is, even after 15 years, still the #1 toy for me :) Awesome stuff to play with! :) |
