Abstract

A method of selecting an object from a videogame for 3D printing comprises the steps of periodically rendering a virtual environment of a videogame for display at a succession of points in time periodically recording information that enables a visual reconstruction of at least part of the rendered virtual environment at a succession of points in time periodically recording a predetermined set of values responsive to the state of at least part of the rendered virtual environment at a succession of points in time, the predetermined set of values enabling a model of a selected at least part of the rendered virtual environment to be generated that is configured for 3D printing; meanwhile a complimentary method of selecting an object from a videogame for 3D printing comprises the steps of reviewing one or more visual reconstructions of at least part of a rendered virtual environment of a videogame from respective points in time and selecting one associated with a specific point in time; selecting at least part of the visually reconstructed virtual environment at the specific point in time as the object to be 3D printed; retrieving a respective predetermined set of values defining a state of the selected at least part of the rendered virtual environment; and generating, responsive to the retrieved respective values, a model of the selected at least part of the rendered virtual environment that is configured for 3D printing.
