Designer Spotlight : Johnny Kelly about using 3D printing to make stop motion animation
February 24, 2010
Were the materials recycled after the project was completed ?
brilliant!
Great work on the animation 🙂 The result is excellent.
Quote from Johnny Kelley: “Once we got the models back from Shapeways we did have to spend a huge amount of time sanding down the models to get rid of the faceted surface, and making the curvature perfectly smooth. I think however, that this may be more to do with the limitations of 3D printing, and the material we used (White Strong & Flexible), rather than Shapeways in particular.”
I don’t agree at all with this statement. It has everything to do with the amount of polygons that were used to make the apple. I think the modeler that made those forgot the look at the models without any smoothing. A common mistake that happens with any beginner that doesn’t read every guide that Shapeways offers to anyone. Anyone is perfectly capable to get a smooth apple within the 200,000 polygon limit that shapeways offer.
Just my two cents 🙂
awesome!! kan me de appel stress nog goed herinneren, maar het resultaat mag er wezen!
