Your Favorite Emoticon -- IN 3D?!

Pumaman: Dec 2, 2006; Are you an onion?

I was tooling around in the :v thread when I began to wonder, "Boy, it'd be neat to see some of these stupid emoticons modeled out." As an industrial designer, I've made some good use out of Solidworks, and have built a lot of neat poo poo in that program, and a lot of the time, just for shits and giggles. I've done the robots from MST3K, a lot of trippy kitchen gadgets, lights, furniture and all that, but sometimes it's the (relatively) simple stuff that really shines.

So I'm taking requests. What emoticons would you guys like to see in 3D? It's not only interesting (and sometimes challenging) to see what they'd look like if they weren't pixel art, but it can also offer insight into what some of them look like from a 3/4 view. Here are a few that I did already.

Here are some awesome desktop-sized version to come out of this thread by other posters. (note: I'd love to include them all, but there are just so many that I'm only going to update with large versions, but I'll probably end up adding them all, anyway.)

Unfortunately, I lost :v:

, so I can't give a desktop version, but god, it's so simple, if anyone REALLY wanted it, I could do it again. What I want to know is what you guys are dying to see, and if you want to see different angles. :iamafag: looks particularly weird from certain angles. Keep in mind that Solidworks is parametric, meaning geometric, so some of the weirder ones, like :frog:

would be very difficult to do without a surface-based modeling program (like Alias, which I don't have and also suck at).

I'll post relatively low-res versions, since they can take forever to render, but requests for desktop size will eventually be honored.

Update: This has grown into something I couldn't have predicted. SA's awesome 3D artists have emerged to produce some great work and I couldn't be happier to see it. It's great to see the bar constantly raised and to go for 55 loving pages and not see even a derail. Color me impressed. Well done, everyone.

If you can export to Callada or X3D, you can print these at http://www.shapeways.com. Not that I'm certain you want to, but the option is there.

Solidworks can export STLs, which every 3D printer I've used has accepted.

Haha, that's awesome. Anyway, I'll do desktops when I'm sure I'm done modeling. I want to get at least one more done and then you'll get 1600x1200 versions. No vectors though.

This is an awesome idea for a thread...I think I'll keep this one open and maybe even contribute. I'm pretty good with SW and okay with Alias Studio and Maya.

^^^ That one would be appropriate to chrome plate, at least.

Anyway, as promised, here's the wallpaper size. I must have changed a light scheme but I'm not going to wait all that time for another one. At least not tonight. Also, gently caress me, the shadow got nipped.

hah! nice to see someone using solidworks for something other than dull Work drawings. Been using the program for years at work. Nice to see it used for something worthwhile.

You could do some of the wierder ones by making individual parts and bringing them together in assembly, or is that how your doing them already?

Naw, they're all single parts with separate bodies. I just don't want to do the ones with weird surface modulations, but I guess it'd be good to put loft to work.

Alright guys. I'm going to go grab a smoke and then I'll get colbert up. Then I'm going to have to probably lay down for a little bit. I'm exhausted. Tomorrow, or soon, I can go back to those first ones and make them matte, do some new guys and get all those desktop sizes up. What a night!

Well, I'm not going to make it my job to make them interesting -- I mean, I understand what you're saying, and I'll toss a few in, but when it gets this specific I have to draw the line.

Anyway, I'm falling asleep and I'm getting frustrated. I need to go back into this one, but that's for another time. Bye for now, everyone, and thanks again.

You guys rock, and I can't wait to get home and crank out :gonk:

Hell yeah!

Suggestion: try putting a thin gap between the teeth rather than a line.

That's what I did for black. I did a spline on the teeth surface and did a sweep-cut, and rendered the cut as matte gray.

So how hard would it be to make these real? And can I finance?

You can have them "printed" as plastic, which can then be molded and you could probably make silicon ones for dirt cheap.

To elaborate, my old alma mater has rapid prototyper that I can use, and it's much cheaper than having something outsourced. And hey, all money goes to the IDSA, so it's worth it.

If the creator could upload it somewhere, id be eternally grateful.

Here are the file types I can export:

STEP (.step)
ACIS (.sat)
VDAFS (.vda)
VRML (.wrl)
STL (.stl)
Universal 3D (.u3d)

Honestly, some of those might not even be usable for 3D modeling. I almost typed .tif, as if you could use that.
