Kenshiro, manzarek123 - thank you :slight_smile:

Stephen, glad you like it :slight_smile: I bet you’re going to make some prints pretty soon :wink:

hockey14 - thank you :slight_smile: the background is just a few layers in Photoshop.

AI. Tintop - Thank you :slight_smile: Well, as for the quality, I guess it’s a matter of printer’s technology. I also printed with other printer models,
like the blue demon (at Growit 3d facilities) and the hoplites character (at Protodemon) (both in a photo on page 2)
and they all look different regarding to the surface quality and type.
I do know Ownage, they make great prints, I just prefer to print my own textures and colors rather than have an artist paint on my model…at least for now.
The cost for the busts was 350 euros total. The price was similar to the money I paid to the other two companies for the demon and the warrior
(without the risk to break the model cause of the delivery - I went myself to 3DPS to see the printer in action and receive the prints :slight_smile: )

excellent i really like the design and the texture :+1:

#44

Thank you very much Remib :slight_smile:

You are right it definitly starts with printers technology and i saw your print
from protodemon it looks really nice. and i understand your opinion of
getting the texture right with the print. but i would prefer a more detailed
and ‘lovely’ handmade texture, because the artist who colors it colors it like
you did in your production process and i think they are able to do it like
your original texture. but i think there are many different opinions to this
and as i see you try out different printer and stuff to get a better overall
knowledge maybe?! i think thats the right way.

by the way, the post with new angles, i prefer the last one. blue looks
great.

keep it up.:+1:

Yes, you’re absolutely right, still it is not possible for any machine to match the quality of work of an artist painter, the technology evolves quite rapidly though :slight_smile: I wish I was able to paint my own models properly, in case I need this I will definitely have a look at a facility like Ownage and such.

#47

Very cool designs, I love the final render of the fishman, and the print looks great it almost looks like it’s wet… But could just be the camera lol. :D:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

#48

Thank you Zak_Keen :slight_smile: in a couple of days there will be a makeof I wrote about Aquaman, on 3D Total. As for the 3d print, the colours are much more saturated than those on the render, possibly that’s the reason for that look :slight_smile:

Hi again…
A rework on my submission to CGSculpt.org’s Battle Boss Challenge.
The aim of the challenge was to sculpt a 3dprint - ready Battle Boss character. Only sculpt was needed, no textures or UVs.

My initial concept idea lies like this.. Hidden into the misty, murky shores of the Big Lake, between the moldy folliage and the rotten carcasses of his unfortunate victims, he is lurking waiting in his muddy pit hole for the next unsuspected living creature, mostly fishermen of the Lake. Once a human who lost a bet with Evil, now a beastie shadow, the uncanny critter uses sharpened bones from previous kills to disembowel his prey, eats their hot guts from the still breathing torsos and makes clothes out of their skin to dress with. Then, he rips the bones off the flesh and uses the strongest of them to make new hunting weapons;spears, knives, pikes... and hiding again in the oozing mud to play his horriffic hide and seek game with the next boatman. The WIP thread of the challenge is there [http://www.cgsculpt.org/sculpt/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=365](http://www.cgsculpt.org/sculpt/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=365) Software used : Softimage XSI, ZBrush, 3DCoat, Photoshop Thanks for viewing ;)

these are very nice renders.
a friendly suggestion though - it is fairer towards others to edit a post you just made and add new images there, while your thumbnail is still up in the bottom row. this way you only occupy one thumbnail at a time and leave more for others :slight_smile:

#54

Julian_K, thanks for letting me know that; you know, I’ve been trying to include both 2 files into the same post but it was impossible, that’s why I put the second one on a different post.

Ok now :wink:

#55

Nice job Nick…:+1: :slight_smile:

Maybe a pile of bones at the waters edge below him, over to the right of his staff…might give it that sense of what he has been up to…Just a passing thought that might be useful to you…:slight_smile:

#56

all good, no worries :slight_smile:

#57

Glenn!! how are you my friend?? it’s been ages since we talked :slight_smile:
I dissapeared for a “little while” heheh
Thank you very much for your suggestion, I’ve got a bunch of spare bones to throw here and there, so I guess I’ll follow your advice :slight_smile:

Julian_K, great :wink:

Hello again.
“Family photos” of my 3d prints collection so far, from 1993 till now, 2011.
4 different 3dprint technologies were used in 5 different companies.
Hope you like them.

Thank you :slight_smile:
The small yellow model (the main block from a R/C engine) was built back in 1993 in a company here in Athens (not active any more).
The warlord was built in Protodemon. The demon was built in Growit3d. The small bust and the other behind it (with the black base) were built in another company in Athens, www.3dps.net.
The medium bust was built in Offload Studios. And the robot on top of the rocket was built again in Offload Studios.
