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?

Nice work po it really looks like a lego man : )

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.

Well, I asked if I could make a lego game at the website and here is what they said:

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.

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! :)
