Re: Guidance on printing 3D miniatures and Freelance rate!
It seems like your client didn't bother to read up on if what he wants done is even possible. If it's a miniature, then it's a little larger than an inch and will not be possible to make with a 3D color printer without losing an incredibly large amount of detail. Again, the best color printer I know of has a minimum wall… -
Re: Comp Entry - Nature prophet bust
Reply by slocik · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Shapeways Dota 2 3D Printing Contest› Shapeways Dota 2 3D Printing - SculptureThanks man. But to nobodys surprise except mine the print failed ;f A quick 3 hours 0,2 layer print. When it got up to the head the base snapped. Since it was printing so fast, over 60mm/sec it got a stringy. Mostly since i set it up wrong, the base has a steep angle but no infill, so at some point the printer was forced… -
Re: Is it time to make the change to Vista?
Well from the user interaction point of view I must admit I love the new 3D win-Tab. Its definitely very clear and fast. However if you are easily annoyed by folders with fancy icons and don't like unnecessary visual clutter you are up for some big time frustration. The new explorer windows are just full of annoying junk,… -
Re: BodyPaint 3D, thoughts?
~ Body paint is great, and I've used a lot in the past. The only real downside is that it struggles with seams. It does this weird glitchy thing when you paint over something with a seam. At GDC they revealed to us the new 3ds Max 2011 which has a built in 3dpainter that can be used with photoshop that has no problems with… -
Re: Wendy relearns how to draw
This week, I decided I'm not going to draw a head on nights after gym anymore. I get home at 10 PM on those days, at which point I still have to shower and prepare food for the next day. Sleep deprivation was hitting me hard, which just isn't conducive to deliberate practice. As for the art itself, I feel like I hit a bit… -
Sculpting Miniatures!
Hey fellow Polycounters! Thought I'd start a P&P before I get too far into my adventure. Currently working on a project with a couple of friends of mine, the idea is to sculpt up a few miniatures and ponder up some rulesets for our own tabletop wargame. I'm working with Maya and ZBrush then exporting into .STL, which will… -
Re: Destroyed Farm House
plaster would be chiped away more near the breaks making the bricks there more visible, plaster chipping seems verry uniform, and bevel on paster is too thick, making it look really deep and smoothed at the chips edge. http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/3897040/2/istockphoto_3897040_broken_brick_wall.jpg… -
Re: vista is a fucking nightmare
I don't care for Windows at all-- if Adobe made the Creative Suite for Linux, I'd be using Ubuntu right now. As it stands, I have no reason to dual boot my computer. Adobe is forcing me to use shitty Windows, and I can't afford a Mac... Anyway, if you switch to ANY 64 bit Windows, make sure all your peripherals and cards… -
[Almost done] 3D print space ship carrier - Learning to 3D print correctly
Hi all, Slowly I am doing more and more 3D print work for others, either pro or hobby. Mostly relying on others on how to do things that work for a PLA printer. Since a week ago I started my own 3D print model to really dive into what it takes to make a good 3D printable model for PLA printers. I want to share the progress… -
Re: Megatron - 3D Print - Transformable
Thanks again guys. This thread offers good info on 3D Printing but it can be a bit overwhelming too. http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=57065&page=4&pp=15 What I do is as follows... Step 1 - Make sure your model has no open edges. I don't like the STL Check modifier myself. A quicker way is just switch to…
