tri-count (upto millions) and topology doesn't matter much in 3d printing. you can clip the eye bits into the head no problem. use netFab to check the STL mesh for holes, thin-walls, and measure the size of features so they are larger than the minimum printable feature size. check the prices and minimum feature size for…
Eric: I just bought an Epson R340 which has a special DVD printing mechanism and bay. It prints directly onto the DVD surface. You just need to buy white printable DVD-R's. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AY5...5Fencoding=UTF8 OK thanks jec, that's why Im going with the solution of adding a data Quicktime file to the…
Among friends and trusted colleagues, an experienced national security analyst said, "it's a running joke for us." A few of the printable samples: "Things I Don't Want On My Resume, Volume Four." "I already gave at home." "Honestly, most of the guys would have to recuse themselves." I think that says it all. Only 3 more…
I probably have spent too much time on this project, but it was one that I really enjoyed working on. Building the Mesh for this was probably the easiest part of the whole project. This WarJack is the defender from the WarMachine miniatures table top game. Or at least as best as I could come to it. I had originally planned…

This is good as a 3d printable model or a high res model that you're going to bake down to a real time model later. Tight modeling, too. The newest standard of subdivision modeling in 3ds Max is OpenSubDiv. It's a little slower than Turbosmooth but it was developed by Pixar, is used across software packages (hence; "Open"…

I'm not familiar with 3d coat, but i guess you have a tool similar to zbrush dynamesh ? You can make one continous mesh from multiple separated meshes. The guy here is making a printable figurine, so you can watch the all serie, it's pretty neat. You can find more look at "sakaki kaoru"…
I have been a fan of Dota 2 For a while now. Out of many different interesting characters my favorite was Axe. To get a clear idea I used lots of references from many different artists to create the model since the model. My main idea was to create a printable model. So by using simple color palette i was able to get an…
