Offload Studios brings my ModNation Racer to life photo

Last week, I took a trip out to Vancouver to visit United Front Games' studio, and get hands on time with its upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive, ModNation Racers. While I was there, I used the game's insanely deep editing tools to design my own racer, a bloody mess of an undead ghoul. 

Well, it followed me home. Sort of. 

A physical mini-figure of my creation showed up in the mail today, courtesy of Sony, United Front Games, and Offload Studios, a Canadian company that brings virtual characters to "life" in the form of actualized statues. As you can see, the little bugger fits nicely next to my apple and PS3 controller... where it belongs. 

The process Offload Studios used to bring is pretty incredible, which you can see in the video after the jump. It's a bit of an advertisement, but it's certainly interesting. 

ModNation Racers ships next year, and it looks like I'll be re-creating this dude when I get my hands on it. We have history now.

3-D printers are awesome. We have one in my office and use it for building models.

@spiderfish:

Like Jim said, "they do." Well, they should. Be more specific regarding your set up (Firefox version, Flash version, OS, resolution, etc.) and maybe we can figure out the problem.

Do you use adblock? I was having a problem with that.

Sorry, it was indeed ad-block causing the trouble. I've disabled it for Destructoid, its the least I can do for you guys.

Thank you all.

Hey Nick.. any word on whether or not we'll ever be able to order a custom one of our own racer we create? Seems like a no-brainer that would be a tie-in.

I saw the demo for that at E3. It looks sweet.
