Hi Mike,

To my knowledge there are no tools to provide what you want. We have
tools
for "flexible parts", but these are limited to hoses and rubber band
type parts.

How about via exporting to a different format? I'm not that familiar
with 3D modeling software, but some of them support "bones" and skeletal
animation. Not sure though if there are any free ones.

I did a little research. You can create bones and poses in Daz3D Studio
and Poser. Poser 8 costs $250, but you can buy Poser 7 for $50. Daz3D
Studio is free, but you have to buy a $30 plugin to create your own
bones and poses from scratch. Otherwise you can only manipulate poses in
existing models that already contain bones.

Too bad there's no free/OSS tool. :(

(...) I'm pretty sure you can do these kinds of things with blender (URL) it has a steep learning curve, and you'll have to create the minifig models from scratch. Roland (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) A warning though: When you download the trial version of Poser 8 they ask for your credit card number. And in my case they charged $1 to it despite the trial version being free and the invoice showing $0. Mike (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)
