==3D zoetropes== [[File:Murey.jpg|thumb|Marey's 1887 zoetrope with ten sculptures of different phases of the flight of a gull]] 3D zoetropes apply the same principle to three-dimensional models, as already practiced by Czermak (1855) and Desvignes (1860) in predecessors of the zoetrope. In 1887, [[รtienne-Jules Marey]] used a large zoetrope to animate a series of plaster models based on his [[chronophotography|chronophotographs]] of birds in flight.<ref name="Herbert2">Herbert, Stephen. (n.d.) {{usurped|1=[https://archive.today/20140527175613/http://www.stephenherbert.co.uk/wheelZOETROPEpart2.htm ''From Daedaleum to Zoetrope'', Part 2.]}} Retrieved May 31, 2014.</ref> Modern equivalents normally dispense with the slitted drum and instead use a rapidly flashing [[strobe light]] to illuminate the models, producing much clearer and sharper distortion-free results. The models are mounted on a rotating base and the light flashes on and off within an extremely small fraction of a second as each successive model passes the same spot. The [[stroboscopic effect]] makes each seem to be a single animated object. By allowing the rotation speed to be slightly out of synchronization with the strobe, the animated objects can be made to appear to also move slowly forwards or backwards, according to how much faster or slower each rotation is than the corresponding series of strobe flashes. ===Ghibli=== The [[Ghibli Museum]] in Tokyo, Japan hosts a 3D zoetrope featuring characters from the animated movie ''[[My Neighbour Totoro]].'' The zoetrope is accompanied by an explanatory display, and is part of an exhibit explaining the principles of animation and historical devices. ===''Toy Story''=== [[Pixar]] created a 3D zoetrope inspired by [[Studio Ghibli|Ghibli]]'s for its touring exhibition, which first showed at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] in New York City and features characters from ''[[Toy Story 2]]''. Two more 3D Zoetropes were created by Pixar, both featuring 360-degree viewing. One was installed at [[Disney California Adventure]], sister park to [[Disneyland]], but has since been moved to The [[Walt Disney Studios (Burbank)|Walt Disney Studios]] Lot in Burbank, CA. The other was installed at [[Hong Kong Disneyland]] from 2010 until 2017, and is now shown in [[Disneyland Paris]] as of late 2019. The original ''Toy Story'' ''Zoetrope'' still travels worldwide and has been shown in 34 national museums and art galleries in 18 countries since 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pixar.com/art-exhibition|title=Pixar Animation Studios|website=Pixar Animation Studios|language=en-US|access-date=January 8, 2020|archive-date=March 5, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180305202439/https://www.pixar.com/art-exhibition|url-status=dead}}</ref> ===''All Things Fall''=== ''All Things Fall'' is a 3D printed zoetrope, created by British artist Mat Collishaw. It is inspired by a painting by [[Scarsellino|Ippolito Scarsella]] of ''[[Massacre of the Innocents|The Massacre of Innocents]]''.<ref name= ATF>{{cite web|url=http://www.factum-arte.com/pag/636/All-things-fall|title=Factum Arte :: All things Fall|author=Factum Arte, S.L.|access-date=August 20, 2015}}</ref> The work was presented during the solo exhibition ''Black Mirror'' at [[Galleria Borghese]] in Rome. It is made of steel, aluminium, plaster, resin, lit by [[LED lamp|LED lights]] and powered by an electric motor. Of his work, Collishaw says: "The zoetrope literally repeats characters to create an overwhelming orgy of violence that is simultaneously appalling and compelling." Each model figure was 3D printed with a [[fused deposition modeling]] technique in [[acrylonitrile butadiene styrene]].<ref name= ATF/> ===Peter Hudson=== Over the period 2002โ2016, Peter Hudson and the makers at Spin Art, LLC, have created multiple [[interactive]] 3D stroboscopic zoetrope art [[installation art|installations]].
