3D printing holds almost endless possibility for 3D animators and this fall we teamed up with the 3D Modeling and Animation Group on Facebook<\/a> and Mold3D<\/a> to host a contest to invite animators to turn their characters into a desktop figurine that could be 3D printed by Shapeways.<\/p>\n

Our judges, Edward Quintero and Rob Vignone of Mold3D; Justin Hanes, founder of the 3D Modeling and Animation Group; and Andrew Thomas, animator and Customer Service team member at Shapeways, had a great time looking through the entries and were inspired by the imagination and technical skill that each participant brought to the figurines they entered. It was a tough decision, but here were the judges top picks:<\/p>\n

First prize:<\/strong> 3inch Mad Skeleton by MStyle183<\/a><\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

The judges loved how this slightly evil looking little guy also seemed like a really fun toy.<\/p>\n

Second Prize: <\/strong>The Gunfighter by Richard’s Maquettes<\/a><\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

The judges thought the character design was impressive and this figurine highlighted the artistry this designer is capable of.<\/p>\n

We had two third place winners:<\/p>\n

Third Prize: <\/strong>Bones V2 by Mattbag<\/a><\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

The judges felt that the functionality of this model was really cool, had great craftsmanship and it’s the way it can be posed could be really helpful for other animators.<\/p>\n

Third Prize: <\/strong> Bull Moose by Ponson<\/a><\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

The judges loved Ponson’s unique style and highly original characters.<\/p>\n
