Abstract: A method of 3D printing a virtual environment is provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of complementary images of the virtual environment from respective different viewpoints. The method also includes calculating a 3D surface geometry of at least some of the environment depicted in the plurality of complementary images, as well as modifying a property of the 3D surface geometry to form a 3D model and outputting the 3D model to a 3D printer.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology include method of selecting an object from a videogame for 3D printing. The method involves periodically rendering a virtual environment of a videogame for display at a succession of points in time. Information is periodically recorded that enables visual reconstruction of at least part of the virtual environment at a succession of points in time. A predetermined set of values is periodically recorded responsive to the state of the rendered virtual environment at a succession of points in time. The predetermined set of values enables a model of a selected part of the rendered virtual environment to be generated that is configured for 3D printing.
