Hi. Industrial Designer/3D Print expert person here...what do you want to do? You can use whatever software you'd like to make 3D printable models. It all gets turned into triangles in the end. So as long as the model is watertight (no holes), has no interior faces that share an edge (intersections are usually OK so long…
Hey, Its looking good Alex. I'm really liking your sculpt. Especially the way you sculpted your wood, very appealing. It certainly looks even better with those reworked colours but I think It would be worthwile to keep experimenting with colours. I think an image is worth a thousand words so I'm just gonna link it, perhaps…
totally missed this one.. you have some problems finding a good flesh texture / shader setup but the models are fantastic! two things about the girl (even though they are bit too late.. but anyway) the metal rings around her arms are in a bad position (imagine how she would bend her arms.. they need to be a bit more…

Yeah, go with what grimsonfart said. Since your are on a budget something like this would also be good for the beginning http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1WjEH if you don't want to overclock your CPU h87 boards are enough and you get Hyperthreading with the Xeon which can be useful in some cases. Change the Xeon to a i7 4770…

That's great to know that the format works fine! Thanks so much. You got it properly. I'm not 100% sure. There should be some reason they didn't disable Static option in instances component? But it's contrary to the very idea. That's what I'm thinking: - Instances can move even if marked as static. That's surely an…
@ DerRazputin : Thanks. the hood at this stage is kind of going to be suspended above her head by spider leg things..... I think. the eyes are just sculpted spheres.... Grassetti style.....https://grassetti.wordpress.com/2015/01/18/portrait/#jp-carousel-4791 Quick lunchtime idea paintover... now to try and do it in ZBrush…
