I added the free MP3 🎵 "Carnival de Brazil" by Doug Maxwell🎵 from YouTube Audio Library to the animation above.
These are on the online softwares I used to achieve the animation:
- Deep Dream Generator
- Vectorizer
- STL Viewer
- SculptGL
- Mixamo
- (Note: Creators 3D online will play the animated FBX file made in Mixamo)
- EZGif
- SketchFab
PROCEDURE
I combed through my best drawings of last year, looking for a frontal drawing to work with.
I combined the drawings in Photoshop Elements, by the Deep Dream drawing over the original, which thickens up the lines (Layers/Luminosity).
The Deep Dream result
blended with the original drawing
I continued in Photoshop, removing the background, adding a dark contour (Layer/Layer Style/Style Settings/Stroke), and saving the image as a PNG that was only 300 pixels wide (to keep the image small).
I made a PNG file in Photoshop Elements,
after removing the background
I imported the PNG file into Vectorizer, and exported an STL file (which is a 3D file). Normally one would export an SVG (2D image file) with this program Vectorizer also exports DXF files, which is what I believe the laser cutter likes.
I exported an STL file from Vectorizer
I checked out the STL file in STL Viewer online, and discovered that the limit was a 35 MB file.

I moved on
However, I needed an OBJ file, so I imported the STL file into SculptGL, and exported an OBJ file.

I exported the OBJ file from SculptGL
(download OBJ file here -- 17.59 MB)
Then I imported the OBJ file to Mixamo, and cycled through the various movement possibilities.

I filmed the dancing/movement with my camera (perhaps I could have captured it with Cam Studio), and downloaded the movie to my computer. In EZGif I was able to convert the movie into an animated GIF file, and crop the animation (as well reduce the file size), for this blog.

I first tried this procedure by making an OBJ file in Voxel Canvas -- as you can see here -- and posted the results at the end of this blog entry (May 28, 2019). Hmm...not unlike this voxel man in the YouTube.
