Hey John, it is possible to use vector graphics in Blender (definitely would be a cool addition when we do a course on curves – I’ll add that to my notes), but I’m not sure that’s what was used for the Lego movie, and I’m pretty confident that .svg files are never be used in games since they take up lots of memory and are difficult to compress.
Either way, the printers that print the lego figures in real life only have a limited resolution, so to be totally true to form it would be preferable to just use a high resolution image texture with a lot of facial expressions on it, and then animate the UV’s to swap between the different parts. Does that help?
