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.
|
A true Technic figure generator would be great indeed. While the maths are not
very hard, I’m not up to the task when it comes to user interface... In the
meantime, LeoCad does a great job thanks to its rotations around local axis. You
still have to do numerous selections of (say) arm segments, but you may easily
adjust their rotation.
| |
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.
|
Not sure to understand what you mean, since many rotation points move while you
pose segments higher in the hierarchy.

A few questions:
Accesories: I know there are models of the skis and ski pole. What about
the helmet and visor?
|
I am working on helmet/visor. Also missing is the diving equipment of set
8250... these are quite complex...
| |
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?
|
Definitely a torso per pattern. There is a subpart defining the bulk of torso.
creating pattern is easy (albeit tedious) with Quad2dat/Slicerpro.
| |
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,
|
Again, feasible, but tough job!
| |
I’m just excited about the possibilities!
