Using 3D software for stop motion.

Thanks to 3D software, stop motion animation techniques have improved in leaps and bounds. 3D printing has enabled companies like Laika to create interchangeable faces for their characters, making lip syncing a much easier and faster process and it means that its easy to replace them if they break. For each full length film, Laika can produce up to 50000 faces overall. The ability to print whole faces off also means that every face for each character is identical and there wont be any unwanted small differences between frames, leading to a consistent animation.
