This is a dream come true for many of us who love to play with post production in our films. Especially CGI faces. What I have discovered is a directory full of png files of faces, torsos, and other brick skins.
These files have come from the LEGO Digital Designer software- hidden in the Assests.lif file. I used a [url=http://www.mediafire.com/download/mrzsd2ho6iiu3wv/LIF_Extractor.zip]lif extractor[/url], which you can test out yourself if you want to. Inside the assets folder there was another .lif file that needed to be extracted. Once finished, I had access to all of the skins used in the program. All of these files were location in Assets/db/Decorations.
If you want to browse everything else in the assets file, you can download [url=http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/]LEGO Digital Designer (~500 mb)[/url] and the extractor and view it yourself. [b]But to save you time and bandwidth I’ve uploaded the [url=http://www.mediafire.com/download/bkbqk5m5qbzbb6t/Decorations.zip]Decorations.zip to MediaFire (~20 mb).[/url][/b] As mentioned in the title, this contains 1500+ different png files of many different LEGO skins.
However, the files themselves are disproportionate. What I mean is that the face.png files are too narrow, but with some testing I believe that adjusting the horizontal length by 150% is sufficient.
Be aware that the images themselves are small. They are 128x128 pixels, and cannot be used in post-processing right away. They will require being traced as vectors, and if you wish to have facial animations, the phonemes will need to be created as well.
Anyways, here is a small glimpse of what is contained in the folder:
