 | | The Minifig Macro - walk that minifig
|
|
(URL) uses Anton Raves' POV-Ray library. You can create many minifigs with it, and best yet, you can walk them. Option one is to walk it in a straight line--boring. Option two, walk it on a spline. Very cool! There is an animation of a minifig (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.announce)

I've recently found a copy of a Lego stop-motion animation video called "LEGO Stories." It features seven short Lego animations. It was made in 1986, although when I looked it up in the WorldCat library catalog, the record says 1989. It seems to be (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.animation)
