1. A CREATIVE METHOD TO MAKE A TOY
NOVEMBER 2014
Design and print a Fly on 3D
The advantages of Polygonal modeling

2. 01
CONCEPT CREATION
PURPOSE
Create a 3D model of a fly
using 3D printer technology.
WHY
The model will be inserted
into a series of frames that will
complete a stop-motion entirely
realized in digital fabrication,
using mainly the laser cut.

3D MODELING
Free modeling with CINEMA 4D R13.
Polygonal modeling is considered
one of the most creative process to
conceive a model in freestyle
Autodesk MUDBOX (sculpting
software) has been used to design
the volume of the head
Head
To precisely align the
different body parts, I
used the simple
“dowel” fixing system
which allows to obtain a
secure and stable
fastening without the
use of adhesives Head
