%>This is a Second Life avatar, created from one of those rapid prototyping machines I used to dream of owning when I was a kid, I think I first saw one on tomorrows world. It uses a lazer to melt a layer of resin type stuff and builds it up layer by layer, new ones can do it in different colours somehow. I spoke to a guy at a business networking event a few months ago who worked for the university, they had one of these machines and they were trying to come up with business applications for it, I wish I'd had the idea of making and selling avatars from MMPORPGs like Second Life.
Basically what these guys are doing, have a look at their flickr set too.<%

The technology is really starting to mature now. I think well within our lifetimes copyright of physical things will become an issue when everyone has 3D printers. :-)
Also, we're legally restricted from making World of Warcraft figures. SecondLife's unique (people own their avatars) approach to intellectual property is what led us to start there.
Thanks again,
