I have discovered something phenomenal!

3D printing. Someone from the art institute introduced me to it. Basically, you can model something in Maya, send them an .stl file (never heard of it) and their 3D printer will create from that file a perfect model of... whatever you modeled. They ship it to you, it arrives on your doorstep, and you hold your 3D creation in your hands.

Cool, huh? I'm currently modeling a squid that I intend to send to be 3D-printed. That's my project for the day (and by 'day,' I mean "several days.").
