Close, but no cigar ;-) Plopp is a product based on the 3D painting
system that's also in Croquet which is quite a bit different from Teddy.
In Teddy, you draw an outline first and then you paint on the surface of
the 3D extrusion. In Plopp you paint the entire object at once. This
idea originated in the masters thesis of Jana Hintze at the games group
in Magdeburg (see

Cheers,
