In the IRC chat which anybody reading is invited to join at irc.scriptschool.com #scriptschool there is a feature where you can search past posts via the IRC bot I wrote by typing !hmm KEYWORD. I noticed one of the recent queries was for ‘plushie’ of which there were no posts here yet for. Coincidentally this week I came across this YouTube video on, guess what? Plushies!

This video comes from here:

Our goal is to show that relatively simple algorithms can provide fast, satisfactory results to the user whereas the pursuit of optimal layout and simulation accuracy lies outside this paper’s scope. We successfully demonstrated that non-professional users could design plush toys or balloon easily using Plushie.

I have no plans to be designing plush toys any time soon but this was too irresistible to ignore.
