Journal Article
Printing Animated Figures in 3D
2012
Overview
Graphics experts and computer scientists at Harvard University have created a software tool that translates video game characters---or any other 3D animations--into fully articulated action figures with the help of a 3D printer. Lead author Moritz Bacher and his coauthors demonstrated their new method using characters from Spore, an evolution-simulation video game. Spore allows players to create a vast range of creatures with numerous limbs, eyes, and body segments in almost any configuration. The 3D printer sets to work, and out comes a fully assembled, robust, articulated action figure, bringing the virtual world to life. The research was supported by the National Science Foundation, Pixar, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
