Thanks for the post. A ton of great ideas, I have never thought about.
Hey Ehren,
Great work, man! In regards to the tutorial you mention above, you should put something together in depth and put it on Gumroad. Sell it for something reasonable and I guarantee you’ll get a ton of downloads and therefore some money for your time. I would buy it for sure! 
well deserved top row, ehren… your sculpts are really beautifully done.
though i have never tried to actually getting anything printet (yet), i’d be more than happy to hear/see your thoughts and process on getting a model ready for the printer.
looking forward to see more from you.

Thanks for posting up these wonderful sculptures.
So much eye candy.
It always helps when the proportions are perfect.
Nice job.
You really know your anatomy. Great work.
May I ask, do you have tutorials or time-lapse videos etc ?
I’m gonna start puttin some youtube vids together. Some tutorial stuff and sharing my experiences and advice working in the industry over the last decade. In the meantime here are some images from what’s going at the studio…

One of the things I want to address in my tutorial videos is the breakdown of the printing process. I use nothing but zbrush and netfabb for print prep. It’s just a matter of understanding booleans, dynameshing, and decimation inside zbrush. This will get you all your cuts and keys for production. I don’t use any archaic over priced programs like Magics. I do all my final processing in Netfabb which is free software. It’s very simple. From there it goes right to the printer. I’ll break it down for you guys soon. No more guess work. No more mystery. Here are some results from our studio. All sculpting and print prep by me. I also run the printer. So I know what I’m talking about.

great stuff. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see more from you.
those works are simply superb, the models are great and I’m shocked by the printing quality.
How tall are those statues? and what printer do you use?
You speak about your studio, do you provide a printing service? I’m so interest in printing 3d models, especially with that quality, but I’ve no printer nor I know any service like that.
Beautiful work!!! The prints look great - so looking forward to seeing the breakdowns - thanks for sharing

I’m guessing you are using a Formlabs printer (the Form 2?). Great work here. Would also like to see a quick breakdown of your cleanup and how you can limit the amount of cleanup through ZBrush.
We printed this on our Stratasys Eden 260. The Formlabs printers are good but our printer does offer better resolution and a MUCH bigger build bed. These statues are all 1/4 scale. The Medusa here is 21 inches tall.

Beautiful prints. Do you accept print jobs for hire?
Great print results! Thanks for sharing the information.
Love your works Ehren, I’m a great fan. It’s funny to see we both have a very similar workflow for print prep, I do everything inside Zbrush and also use nettfab. I’d love to see your whole process 
Hey guys here is my tutorial. its in 2 parts.This covers creating keys using dynamesh and booleans. The second part describes proper decimation and the use of Netfabb plus a few other things. I kind of ramble a bit but I really wanted to explain everything thoroughly. Not just ‘how’ but ‘why’ as well. Anyway enjoy …
Your videos covered everything I was wanting to know about ZBrush’s role in your pipeline. Well done sir, and very watchable!
Ehren, does your company print 3D for hire?
Thanks for the feedback guys. I’ve gotten a few requests for other tutorials, like how to pose a model for dynamic composition, and how to determine the thickness for a printed part. I’ll be happy to cover these subjects as well as other things that you guys may be interested in. I’m open to suggestions. A few people have asked if we print for other clients… Right now we don’t. It may be something we expand into later. Here is a pic of the final printed Medusa for ARH statues. The total piece is 29 inches tall… The project to about 6 weeks to complete from initial sculpt to final painted prototype.
