Let's say, for the sake of argument, that I wanted to come up with actual
step-by-step plans for creating a life-sized Lego statue of some well-known
caped superhero, let's say, Superman.  What would be the best way to go about
this using something like MLCAD or LeoCAD (but preferrably the former)?  Are
there any general guidelines or guides for creating the human form in a Lego
representation?  Admittedly, I'm not all that artistic, but while I'm sure I
could enlist the help of the 3D modellers who work at the same company I do,
seeing as they already have a 3D model of Superman that we could go off of, I'd
much prefer to have the plans for the statue all laid out before my fellow
members of the development team where I work commence the construction of the
statue, yeah?

Any help is appreciated,

(...) Hey, I am not sure about MLCAD type stuff as I have never used it. But the Lego company uses a program called Legoizer (although I think it has changed names since I left the company). Essentially, you build a 3D version of what you want in 3D (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
