This post pushed me to complete the
hard work of Donal Sutter and Orion Pobursky and model the missing parts of
Technic Figure.
Posing the figure may be quite tricky, but thanks to the advanced rotations
features of LeoCAD, it’s manageable, see the examples below.

This is fantastic! Thanks Philo. I anticipate that a lot more renders are
coming in my future.
Regarding posing, it would be great if we had an MLCAD “extra” like the Minifig
Generator which would allow simple posing. I’m not smart enough to write one,
but I’m sure somebody is. I know the demand for Technic figure posing is FAR
less than the demands for minifig though, so it may not be worth somebody’s
time, especially since the Technic fig is not even made any more.
Without a generator, I imagine a very nested MPD file which allow all the arm
and leg posing. I could set up a “generic” file with the right rotation points
which could then be posed.
A few questions:
Accesories: I know there are models of the skis and ski pole. What about the
helmet and visor? Are these available? Torso’s: There are many different
printed designs for the torso. I see the “dolphin” torso in your example. What
would be the best way to handle the others (assuming anyone will do them at
all)? Would we make “stickers” to put on a blank torso or would we have a
different torso part number for each design? Cyber: Besides the different
colors of hair, there is also the “cyber”..... helmet..... thing. Any plans for
that? Same for the arms. I’m not trying to be greedy, I’m just excited about
the possibilities! 
Thanks again Philo,
Eric

In the meantime, LeoCad does a great job thanks to its rotations around local axis. You still (...) (13 years ago, 3-Dec-10, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.technic, FTX)
