From Screen to Sculpture: Designing Characters for 3D Animation and Printing

Islam Fouda leads a hands-on workshop exploring the creative and technical process of crafting characters for both 3D animation and 3D printing. Through expert guidance and behind-the-scenes insights, participants will learn how design goals, modeling techniques, and workflows differ between digital animation and physical production.

Key points include understanding the design principles unique to each medium, adapting sculpting and modeling techniques for screen or print, and exploring post-processing steps for 3D-printed figures. By the end of this session, attendees will gain practical skills to transform digital characters into animated performances or tangible, collectible art.
