The stop motion dudes at LAIKA infiltrated our blogs again. This time it be about 3D printing and it's impact. 3D printing itself is pretty awesome, it can houses, cars, limbs, and just about anything else! You could probably make your own Legos with one too. Moving on... in the old days you had to make each stop-motion prop by hand with tools and what not. But 3D printing is quicker, more efficient, more reliable, and more convenient. LAIKA has taken advantage of this for their films, the possibilities of 3D printing have allowed to create 1,875 times as many faces as Jack Skellington from The Night Before Christmas had!
Overall this pretty nifty. I like it when stuff from the blogs resurface. One of my mom's friends actually has a 3D printer. While there is a certain aesthetic to hand made sets, it comes more from how it's built rather than how the pieces are built. Ultimately I don't see any downsides too 3D printing in animation! Nice to enjoy this blog, because the other one ohhh...
