Abstract
The most popular 3D animation garage kits are SD dolls and ball-jointed dolls (BJDs), which are shaped like 3D figure sculptures. Since garage kits such as SD and BJD are expensive, new materials such as PVC and clay have been introduced as there are still many fans. This paper takes the antique clay-making garage kit, “Sound of Pipa,” as an example and elaborates its design, production, as well as optimization ideas and methods to provide reference for beginners to create 3D garage kits. The garage kit industry, on the other hand, should pay close attention to the latest developments in technology and materials, both at home and abroad, and incorporate them into the creation and production of works on a regular basis.
