This looking outward is to honor and spread awareness of Eggdog, a CG character based off of a real Pomeranian that was groomed to look like an egg. Personally I find this 3D-model-turned-meme a very interesting, intriguing, and very relevant to Week 5’s Looking Outwards topic of 3D Computer Graphics. Eggdog’s prevalence on social media shows how 3D modeling, rendering, and animation has become so accessible over just the past decade. Almost anyone can download free 3D modeling software like Blender and learn how to create something as simple, elegant, and beautiful as Eggdog. This point was also made by the student who wrote about Eggdog.
Eggdog represents both today’s widespread availability and accessibility to 3D modeling software, and today’s ease of transferring information through social media. Any individual in the world can create anything, from Eggdogs, to feature films, to hit video games, all by themselves, and share it with the rest of the world. Eggdog, at its very core, represents the creative power of technology in the hands of everyday citizens.
