Modeling for kids in the form of a game. Enjoy.

Looks cool. But why let kids have all the fun? I say make 'em use Max or Maya and get 'em to the point where they're ready to through a brick through the monitor, like a real artist.

Have you actually tried this program?

Paolo

I heard this is kinda like ZBrush - true?

MoP

Or just give 'em a lump of clay

Nah this sounds cool.

Nope, haven't actually tried it. I am just passing along the info for you to draw your own conclusions. =]

Actually come to think of it. We should be referencing Play-doh. Mmmm it slightly salty taste.

Their website looks like someone sneezed.

But the idea of making a kids-friendly modeling tool is pretty cool.

Actually I think that "Smoothteddy" is a much better 3d app for kids. It's Java based, works in a browser window, and exports to OBJ format, textured and painted. Very simple drawing based interface. and VERY intuitive.

Does Smoothteddy include the cloth generator from the same author?

Scott Ruggels

Hmm. I don't know, but there is an improved one, that does support some simple animation.

I remember the 3d modeling toy for kids back in my day...it was called LEGOS. But now instead of Legos being fun and having original content, it's allll a bunch of star wars and harry potter...
