I got some bionicles with the idea of blending them too. about 6 months ago. I still can’t put them down… Great toys.

Thanks guys :slight_smile:

basse: You’re right. In order to pose any character it must be rigged. Everything else is an headache even in the short run. The model i’ve uploaded has the sceleton striped out of it again. (But it only takes you 10 - 15 minutes or so if you want to rig it up again.)

In the meantime i’ve started a new 3D app and i’m having a hard time learning it, so, until i know the next step, i can’t dedicate any more time to this model.

Anyway, have fun!

I was just starting to looking at Blender again when I ran across this posting for the Bionicle model.

I decided to play with rigging it for animation. Although I have a long way to go I was able to add some simple bones that allow for single handle movement of the arms and legs.

Then I found Yafray/Yable and saw some examples of HDRI.

So, I combined everything together to come up with:

I made a few small modifications in Yable to automatically produce the correct material to shader color conversion. (I didn’t want to do these by hand.)

I’m amazed at the detail of the model.

Thanks to seanix for the bionicle.
