    Concept Design

    Brainstorm an action figure

    You are a toy designer. Create a brief for an original action figure inspired by Southeast Asian mythology. Describe its appearance, accessories and cultural significance.

    3D Modelling

    Generate a 3D model

    Generate a 3D model file (e.g. .obj format) for the action figure described above. Ensure the joints are articulated and the model is suitable for 3D printing.

    Colour & Packaging

    Design packaging

    Design the packaging artwork and colour scheme for the action figure, including a short story on the box that reflects its cultural background.
