Show HN: Fun tool to turn your headshot into a MiniFigure (minifigureai.com)

This is neat. It worked really well for my image. I assume it is just generating an image in the style of a mini figure?

It would be really incredible if it could generate a lego mini figure using real components (ie. this combination of hair, hear, torso, etc). I can see how this would be much more difficult. But it would also make it a really interesting product imo. People already pay a lot for mini figures - would probably pay a LOT for one that looks like them, or for a set that looks like their friends/family.


Thank you for trying and the feedback.

That's correct - it creates an image based on the style of a minifigure using DALLE-3. The challenge with real components is that the APIs / prompts don't allow for facial recognition prompts that can reveal the identify of the person. So the final minifigures won't be accurate especially the smaller parts.


From "PartCAD the first package manager for CAD models" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38789333 :

Build123d, bd-warehouse

Are any of the major LLMs sufficiently trained on ldraw - or e.g. build123 a parametric CAD library - for this task?

TinkerCAD can save a model as a composition of known bricks.

ai-game-development tools lists a few CAD LLM apps like blenderGPT and blender-GPT: https://github.com/Yuan-ManX/ai-game-development-tools#3d-mo...


Thank you for the links. After 2 days of launch most people are asking me how to print these.

I am not so familiar with these tools but I will look into these and learn more.


OCCT supports STL, STEP, and AMF files for [extrusion] 3d printing with [sustainable: hemp, wood, bioplastic, etc] 3d printing filament.

Laser engraving for wood on 3d printed wood is a thing too
