Questions regarding lego/minimates modeling

hansedr

I am thinking about making some lego/minimates models but was wondering how do you animate the mouth and eyes? All the videos I watch look like they are multiple texture files or something but I'm not sure. Here is a link to video to show what I'm talking about. Any help would be great.

Do it how you want, whichever way you find easiest.
I know for a fact the tt games use full 3d models with excelent facial animation for the consoles, and for the DS its mostly texture work for obvious reasons

I myself like the stopmotion/aardman style of texture slapping heh.

Those look like vectors/polygons to me. Flat shapes conformed to the curvature of the face model, animating the control points and the curve handles.

Michael Knubben

yeah, I seriously doubt that claim too, Flynny. You say you know for a fact these are 3d facial animations?
