Character for 3d printing

Frankie · Nov 2006

Hey guys, long time no pimp! I've been trying to make a model to get 3d printed so I can give it to my mum as a christmas present. It feels like ive been going in circles with it for a while and need to finish it up soon so it would be great to get some comments from fresh eyes!

definitely a great model but are you sure you want to give your mom a small naked man as a present ?!

Frankie · Nov 2006

haha yeah well I might dress it up to look like an old greek statue like in some of the other pictures

Sa74n · Nov 2006

definitely an awesome model, frankie *two thumbs up*

didnt know you were working on a personal project. proportions look good and so do the muscles. only thing im not sure about the lenght of the legs tho. either upper legs are too long or lower legs too short. i think its the lower legs.

warbys got a point tho :P not a very suitable present

I disagree, give it an awesome greekstatue like pose and it'll be the perfect gift.

Scan your selfnude and make it a 3D print. Your mother would love it

Out of plastic... hmm not so sure if that really looks good.
Anyways, if you pose him naked please don't leave him neutral like that, it just looks childish.

true, I never took the 3dprinting material into consideration, it's light?

EricElwell · Nov 2006

I agree with the comments on the legs. Also, I notice a bulge on the lower/base area of the thumb, if you spread your fingers out, and move your thumb up and down, you'll find that the "bulging muscle" is actually connected to the pointer finger, rather than the thumb. Sorry i don't have the muscle names down, but judging from the shots your presented, it just looks backwards.

Other than that, I think it's great! Still think he should have some characterization to make him more 'gift-worthy'.

Keep on keep'n on, man! I think it looks good!

if you're gonna get him 3d printed at least give him a COCK!

hawken · Nov 2006

how big is the 3d print gonna be? the fingers may not print properly, unless you pose him with them clasped together or something.

looking great, love the modo viewports.

You better take a photo of the printed version too!

tpe · Nov 2006

Hmnn the pouch is very very small, but i guess if it for your mum that is ok. Very nice work though, how long did he take and how is modo?

Nice work Frankie, I like the classical feel very much, need more of it.
Things that really stick out majorly are where the triceps and teres, major and minor are intersecting a bit wrong round the back and `underarm there. The thumb as mentioned and also all his digits look too skinny for his build.
Classical styled ref, so you can learn all the names too

EarthQuake · Dec 2006

Joao Sapiro · Dec 2006

Bronco · Dec 2006

The statue is looking pimp dude.is there anyway you could make the "skirt" (I can't remember the other word

) less solide looking and add some more folds? how big is the model gonna be?

Though im also curious who or rather where it is your sending it for print?,what are the rules and regs? been wanting to do one of these with Josh. havent got round to it yet though

I was hoping to get http://www.3dmodelprinting.com/ to do it, but there are loads of places, just search for rapid prototyping. For the US http://www.3darttopart.com/ seems really good and cheap, i've seen some prints by them and they look cool! Im sure rockstars seen them too.

Yeah ill try and get some more folds in there!

The rules are
