Playing With Dolls

This is very cool. It's a physical 3D rendering of a 2d/3d 'world of warcraft' character. It comes from the folks at Eyebeam - who's Jonah Peretti was, a long time ago in Internet time, behind the crazy, controversial, viral "blackpeoplelikeus" website. But this is from other fellas (called 'fellows' in Eyebeam-speak) at Eyebeam labs. What I got is that they manage to print a rendering of the in-world character. Does that mean, that this little guy/woman/thing on the left is a paper doll? I think it's the same little part of me that plays with the Winnie-the-Pooh Fisher-Price models (there, it's out) - that is so enthralled by my friend up there. Even though it's quite silly to get so excited about starting with simulation/VR design and recreating clunky physical dolls. (Image from Eyebeam CC sharealike license)
