For this Looking Outwards, I decided to cover a 3D character called Eggdog. This character was based off of a real pomeranian that looked quite similar to the shape of an egg after getting a haircut. This video of the dog became very popular over time and led to the creation of a 3D model. I assume that the 3D rendering of the dog and the videos of this character was made using a program like Blender. Within these types of programs, you can create and rig 3D models. You can also record animations and bring in other models to create an environment. What I admire about this work is that Eggdog is such a simple character, but has become so widespread and has made a lot of people laugh due to the silliness of its design.
