Fun way to build cartoon-like 3D models
Posted: Sat Nov 25, 2006 5:32 pmHi,
I found the following java-based (no installation required - runs inside your Internet Browser) program to create cartoon-like 3D characters in few seconds:

It is really amazing, and I really suggest you to watch the demo video available at the following URL:
http://www-ui.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~takeo/video/teddy.avi
For best experience, I suggest you to watch the mentioned video BEFORE trying the app.
If you like it, you can then have a look at the other amazing programs that the author has developed:

For example, you can then try out SmoothTeddy, which also allows drawing on the models you create:

It works a bit differently from Teddy, so I suggest you to watch the video too.
The other programs available include Squirrel which allows you to animate the previously-created models in a very original way (watch the video too), and Sweater, which allows putting clothes on the 3D character you have created.
Really amazing stuff.
Enjoy.
