SIGGRAPH 2013, Anaheim, CA – July 23, 2013 Leonar3Do, the award-winning 3D technology provider introduces the first online crowd sculpting tool and game experience, called Leopoly. The WebGL based app is a revolutionary approach in expanding creative ideas.
The idea behind the software is to give the easiest 3D sculpting tool and a community based game experience to the makers of the 21 century. This new way of virtual sculpting is but a part of evolutionary modeling, where all users can share creative designs and further shape ones pieces of art. If users fancy any object to put on their shelves, Leopoly is the easiest, most fun and most intuitive tool to prepare files for 3D printing. Users can start designing almost immediately and make 3D printable files in minutes.
Leopoly is the only tool available which can also be used in a full 3D immersive mode with the Leonar3Do VR Hardware Kit. This lets users to break out of the 2D approach and work in virtual space using head tracked goggles and the Bird, the first 3D mouse.
“With Leopoly we break down boundaries. Leopoly narrows the gap between hardly reachable level of proficiency and novice enthusiasts in 3D design and printing” said Roland Mányai Director of Sales and Marketing. “Our goal was to make this project on a web based platform, to open doors to anyone and make it reachable literally anywhere for a wider community of makers and to make 3D modeling FUN.”
Right after Leopoly’s launch, the project will ask its community to rank the best creations and to award prizes. You can find more information about this at www.leopoly.com. This is to encourage co-creation, cooperation and remixing through this contest. Community members can win a full Leonar3Do VR design kit, including a 3D monitor, so they can design in virtual space using head tracked goggles and the Bird, the first 3D mouse.
Why Crowd-Sculpting?
Crowd-sculpting is a new way for people to create together by iterating, cooperating, sharing, remixing each other’s designs. Crowd-sculpting not only harnesses the wisdom of the crowd but also the talent & skills of the crowd. By making creation and art a communal project fit for anyone to participate in we can democratize design through collaboration and online sculpting tools.
