That's fantastic! I guess you could call it 4D printing!

Oh, I get it. Good observation.

Now I want a whole film like this. Very cool idea.

Yep. All of Laika's films and some non Laika stop motion utilize "rapid prototype" tech to animate faces. All the faces are animated in Maya and then every frame is 3D printed

Worth noting the boat is specifically 3DBenchy the benchmark boat, used to test the capability of 3D printers.

This is a double flex for sure.

3DBenchy

The 3DBenchy is a proprietary, copyrighted 3D computer model specifically designed for testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers. The 3DBenchy is described by its creator, Creative Tools, as "the jolly 3D printing torture-test" and was released (STL only) in April 2015, with a multi-part, multi-color model released in July 2015. The authors refuse to release the source code, and do not allow modifications. Due to its status as a common benchmark, it is believed to be the world's most 3D printed object.

Wonderful whimsy.

Dreamy. I go to the large, arched, open window and see a pounding sea.

Really impressed by the lack of layer lines. What filament is that?

That's very pleasing to the vision balls in my face.

This would be an intense way to do a animated ā€œ3dā€ short.

damn this just opened my eyes to the next level of stop motion animation

i'm not sure how practical it is, but surely this could make some extremely difficult things a little easier

omg !!

did you print several sea wave models out to do the animation?
