| | | | That is very cool - combined with the minifig generator and a (potentially POVray-clock-based) keyframer, we would have a minifig animator. However, the primary function of Blobman, which is to codify "poses" into data - basically what you have (...) (20 years ago, 13-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.animation)

On the negative side, the colors of the minifig's "clothing" has to bet re-set manually via variables On the positive side, it will recognize skeletons! I've (...)

| | | | Hi Tore, I gave your program a spin. I'd say we are not that far away in conceptual terms. "My aim is to let the program I'm currently working on take on the grunt work." Is pretty much what I'm thinking. And the whole "march.exe" idea is right on (...) (20 years ago, 18-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.animation)
