sheekel... redownload the file, v3 now... and the script...

double post...

Im finishing up the Lego Man model, its looking pretty good. Im not quite sure how to do the arms though.

Does anyone know how to get a polygon count in Rhinoceros?

Pics:

Take a look at the one I made a while back. That should give you an idea of how to do it.

Just for the sake of saying stuff... that MiniFig is teh awsomes... maybe this site could give us some ideas http://www.brikwars.com/index.html

Ive completed the lego man, but im not too happy with the arms. Ive been working on it 4+ hours and i think it should do for now.

748 Faces...most of which are in arms...Do you think thats too many, considering this is an infantry man and infantry will be common on the battlefield...sometimes produced in hundreds?

Does someone want to take a stab at a walk script for it? I cant script for my life

your right about the arms being wrong... but otherwise it looks great for what it is... that's an awful lot of faces/tris... but for the rest of the units we are going to probably have very siple geometry (like the tanks) so it should balance out right? I'm not sure where you found room for that many faces in a minifig however...

it looks like a perfect lego man to me, id like to see it textured now

hey I've been looking at legos at the Brik Wars site and I think I figured out why the arms look wrong...

the problem is that he's modeling the shoulders into the arms... the shoulders are part of the core body piece, so you only need 1 joind in the arms...

Yeah, you're right. Ill work on it, though i messed around with the arms for quite some time...thats about as good as i can make them

This is the first "real" model ive had to make, its quite challenging!

New version:

good closeups of minifigs

Well, i slightly altered the Zipper walkscript for my Minifig. Its not permenant, but its the funniest thing ive ever seen. It runs like a goon.

Check out the death-defying head bob:

Please note that that texture job is not complete whatsoever. Ill texture it properly later today

New version, retextured/scripted. Its still looks a bit funny though. Explosions this time!

Here is a video:

Can anyone model a Infantry Factory? I cant seem to make one that looks decent.

what about a commander? I think a MiNIfig that is specially textured or carries a flag or something would be cool...

or the hand...and the hand runs around like the "thing" from the adams family (that severed hand that grabbed people and stuff)

I made a commander (basically a retextured minifig), but i cant get it to build anything. It starts constrution, but then the unit just sits there at 0% and no nano comes out of the commander's nano-gun. I think it might be the script:

I dont see anything wrong...

Also, here is a new video of the lego minifig getting blown to bits! (i would have used file universe but it wouldnt upload for some reason...)

Uhm... I had the same problem with my chess pieces and I'm pretty sure Maelstrom fixed it in the fbi files not the script... post that maybe.

Make sure that the BuildTime and WorkerTime are both above 1000 (for the commander and the thing its building), that made the chess peices work. (It could have been the script as well though, as i did replace that (thanks Archangel))

I wouldn't imagine it was the fbi changes.

is it a s3o, then make sure none of the objectnames are using capitals

ONLY use lower-case!!!
