Description
As there aren't a lot of good free minifigure models online, I thought I would release my high-poly minifig model. This is a modified version of the minifig in my previous blends; this one includes a number of new features. For the impatient, here are the features in this model:
- __Clean Geometry:__ This is an all-quads, clean mesh with simple yet powerful geometry. Everything is logically ordered and edge loops are well-placed.
- __Fully Poseable:__ The model has bend points located on arms, legs, hands, and feet, as well as a fully bendable torso. Deformation of the mesh is clean and attractive.
- __Attractive!:__ The figure is cute and cartoony, but still has smooth, sleek edges and perfectly curved surfaces. In addition, a facial texture completes the overall awesomeness.
For more clarity, here are some views showing features of the model not really visible in the main photo.

If you're still not sure if this little guy is "the one" for your project, I have a quick video demonstrating two minifigs working together to carry a heavy load:

Well, that's about all there is to it! I hope this little guy makes it big in the Blender community; if you've created anything especially memorable or interesting with this be sure and let me know.

Hi Nick, Great model, thank you very much for sharing! 5 stars! 100% Blendswap cult!
Thanks for your enthusiastic comment, but I must confess I'm totally mystified by that last line. 100% Blendswap cult? Cult? What cult? :)
Cool models you find here on Blendswap :-)
Sweet, can you point to some tutorials on how to import LDraw models into blender? Especially the minifigs?
It's simple. Open the LDraw model into LeoCad; export it as a .3ds file and import that .3ds into Blender. Piece of cake!
Thanks! I can use this for my teams project! You are on my credits list!
whoops...forget about that! I didn't realize we couldn't use it for that! Nice minifigure though!
hjmmediastudios, Could I please release a retextured version of your brilliant model? I've redone the eyes and eyebrows so they can be animated! I will credit you for the model. Can I please have your permission for this?
How to move the hand? I can only make the hand open and close.
hey u should make a video about making a minifig blender rig
How do you change the face texture? Edit: And Torso
