Hey guys.
I’ve decided to take a break from serious Blender work and do something silly and awesome. Presenting, MINIONS!
Once I’m done modeling (a day or two) I’ll upload the file to BlendSwap. Hopefully someone will assist me with rigging / weighting the little guys, because EVERYONE wants to animate a minion! 
Any comments / crits welcome. Just remember that they’re not finished 
Anyone who can find a texture for a retina please post it here! I haven’t had much luck finding one that works.
Been thinking before that I need a couple of these to animate with myself, so I might look into the rigging for you…
For the eye, look to the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Creating Pixar looking eyes in blender tutorial. It’s not been updated to the 2.5/6 series, but it’s very informative.

Thanks randy! I’ll get right on it!
Man love those minions. I need to make me a few one of these days.
@ Rider :: Thanks for the texture. Turns out I already had what I needed 
Thanks though. That is quite a realistic texture!
@ Anita :: We all do! The point of my doing this project is so that you can have them without having to make them yourself 
I agree that is one awesome eyeball texture.
Really cool. Wonder if anyone’s done any (not motion capture but I lack the proper term in my brain) with little minions running around their house doing things. That would be extremely funny.
Can’t wait for the finished one
Motion tracking & compositing. What a brilliant idea!
here’s day two:
Yes, I will incorporate the Felonius Gru logo into his overalls… Tomorrow come pockets, mouth improvement, legs, and fixing the darkness of the eyes?
After that I’ll proceed to fix up the mesh so there are no artifacts when its rigged.
sorry for the delay-- this project is been set on a back set.
