Examine The Model

Previous Next

The first step in creating an articulated model is to examine the model that you are going to create and determine the parts that you want to articulate. For our example we will be using an existing Lego set 6581 Dig N’ Dump. More specifically, the dig part.



Building instruction can be obtained at http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/6000/6581/.

Step 1 is to identify the different parts that you would like to be able to move. Here is what I see.
  1. Wheels
  2. Chassis
  3. Cockpit
  4. Lower Arm
  5. Upper Arm
  6. Bucket
You could also animate the control levers, I choose not to for this tutorial.
