Yeah, I was considering going through and rebranding all my images. And making them more printer friendly. (ie less black) Some of my stuff is condusive to that others not... but yeah, the watermarking needs to be more subtle. Thanks for the crits!
WIP Hi world, this is my Yakuza artwork, which I developed during my participation in the ArtStation challenge "Neo Tokyo: Exponential Reality" in the Film/VFX Character Art category (rendered). This experience was incredibly exciting and allowed me to navigate the entire 3D pipeline, from likeness sculpting, modeling, and…
This might seem like a silly post. But I would like to create a 3d fire mesh from a fumefx simulation to print out in a 3d printer. There is probably no real way to convert it, but if there isn't how would the members of polycount go about creating fire out of geometry.
Not sure of Chinese print services, but I can print stl's and obj's zbrush. I'm in Australia though, and I only have a top down DLP printer at present. Happy to take a look and give an idea of price if you want though.
It surprises me that Shapeways doesn't appear to allow coloured VRML prints given that their Z-Corp sandstone printers should support them. ZBrush exports them natively with the polypaint data embedded in the model - no need for UVs and texture size limitations.
You can pick up a consumer grade printer for $2400. We grabbed one for work just recently. You won't get the level of detail that Lewis' machines can pump out, but the quality is better than you might expect.
This is a project I’ve been working on in my spare time. The driver was sculpted in Mudbox with the hard edge elements Subd modelled in Max. I wanted to do a simple, single material render to give it the look of a 3D printer model. There are work in progress shots on my blog: http://redbranchblog.blogspot.co.uk/ Red
Ha ha, after all that work, I finally printed out the sandbag halves, and they were as smooth as a baby's arse--no fabric texture to be seen. Guess I have to try exaggerating the displacement effect and hope my printer's up to the task.
a common way of calibrating monitors is to print a image off with a good quality photo printer and open the same image on the monitor and play with the hue, contrast and brightness until they match. there are also devices that do pretty much the same in a more accurate manner
Edits from my previous sculpt of Rihanna- A friend of mine approached me for the sculpt to test her 3D printer. I decided to touch it up a little before handing it over :D I'll post the 3d print once it's done too!
