Making Toys / Models with AM

Hi All,

 

 

I just wanted to see if anyone has any info on making toys with AM. I remember talking to Victor Navone about making Blitz model / statues like ages ago and he sent me some links to toy makers which I have lost, like ages ago.

 

I do know that the models are created on Rapid Prototype Machines and you need to send them to the Toy makers in STL ( Stereolithography) file format for the machines to output, but not how to convert AM models.

 

Animation Master is such a powerful organic modelling application, it is such a waste to not be able to this sort of work with it.

 

If anyone has used AM to create toys or models, I would like to hear about the work flow they used to get the model to STL format and to the Prototype machine.

Hey thanks heaps guys, I did a bit of research and came across this wonderful thing for people that might be interested in making toys, it involves taking the AM mesh into 3DS Max to create a STL file.

 

http://www.ghost3d.com/gt_ResErect.htm - plugin for max to import AM models and triangulate to STL, looks good . . .
