Here is something a little differently. Me as an action figure. I did this figure as an exercise. I wanted to make a figure that has a less bulky physique compared to the muscle bound 80s style figures I usually do. I also wanted to make a figure that uses ball joints. Personally I am not a big fan of those but I had many commissions where clients wanted to have them in their figures. So this guy serves as a proof of concept that ball joints can be done. I still think they are a little bit less predictable and sturdy then other joints though. On the other hand they do allow for a great range of motion. This is certainly my most flexible personal figure yet. I also had a lot of requests for heads based on a real person's face. So I gave this figure my own face to show what can be done. The figure was painted by me. I have to admit he is a lot slimmer and flexible then I am. :-)
You just model the joints like every other object you would in 3D. You can then subtract the geometry of those joints from the geometry of the figure's body thus creating holes for the joints to plug in. Then you can print out the different parts and assemble the figure.
