Technology makes it easier to bring you're ideas to life. In the age of the inter...uh...3D printer, you can turn your drawings into toys. With the power of 3D printing you can make anything from a ball to a rocket ship component, if you got the cash, obviously. Anomalisa, created by Charlie Kaufman uses a 3D printer in the process of creating characters and set dressing. But let's talk about our old friends, LAIKA, the dudes that use 3D printing as steroids in the stop motion industry. Swapping character bits is still a pain and a half, but it's faster than the past. Stop motion, blah blah, tedious, blah blah blah, ask Geoff for details. Kaufman, the maker of Anomalsia didn't hide some of the things that made the characters look like they were 3D printed, he said it was a stylistic choice.
This was a thing, I guess. The author thinks if they praise the machine hard enough they'll get a free 3D printer. This articale was more of a "this thing does stuff" than "stuff you can do" type dealy. No advice to take other than "buy a 3D printer." Frankly if I had the money I'd rather a Play Station and the Sly Cooper games.
Well I don't think you're the target demographic for a 3D printer anyway. Besides, the article did everything but urge people to buy their own. The first time they mention the possibility of the reader actually having something printed, they suggested using the website Shapeways, which is a timely and cheap solution to printing your own pieces. You can do it yourself, if you like. :)
