hey zeoyn! Really big fan of your work, really glad you opened a sketchbook thread here! I agree, these works are pretty popular. Nice prints also! Love your renders/compositions! Looking forward to more work from you! =)

very cool work ! don’t you mind if you could explain your workflow for to make 3D print since i plan to do it with my aquatic creature.

thx for the possible anwser of you

[zeoyn]

Thanks!

Regarding the 3D for printing, it is not very difficult.
You can prepare everything in ZBrush, the main things are:
-Keep all parts of the model watertight. There should be no open polygons anywhere (under certain circumstances this can REALLY screw your model, I have learned it the hard way).
-Try to keep the thinner parts with over 1mm of thickness (at print scale).
-You can (and should in some cases) intersect geometry.
-Respect the laws of physics If you want to defy these laws you will have to talk with the printing company as they can create an armature or place weights inside the sculpture to balance it.
-If your objective is to make a mold and cast copies, you will also have to cut the model so that it can be assembled.
-Decimate with the Decimation Master plugin before exporting to keep the file size manageable.
-Use 3DPrint Exporter plugin and save as STL Binary to send it to the printer.

I hope this helps!

great barrio guy. thank for the tips regarding printing models.

Clean shapes, clean 3d sculpting produces great real sculpting.
Beautiful.

[Aumakua]

Beautiful models and prints indeed, congrats! Could you tell us where did you print them?

[Geert_Etcher_Melis]

Awesome works. !

Those prints are superb! If I may ask: How much clean-up and assembly did you have to do? Do you have pics of the seperate parts? What company did the prints?

Thanks for posting

[zeoyn]

Actually I didn’t have to clean up anything
For the 3D print you can have any shape you want, you just have to separate it in pieces if you need to make a mold and copies. These 2 are just prototypes, so there was no cutting involved.

These prints were made at Ownage.

thx you very much for these some tips but one thing i don’t understand : what does mean “watertight” ? ^^;

also, as you have more experience with 3D print, don’t you mind if i send you my zbrush file that you can inspect them for to make sure they’re ok for 3D print ? ^^ if yes, i will send you from e-mail

Here goes my latest piece: “A break from Bamboo”

A Panda caught by surprise while snacking a fish in the middle of the bamboos - this was the briefing given to me by 3D Artist magazine to support a tutorial focused on modeling and fur creation.

The tutorial has just been released in issue 29 and you can find it here:

I love your work man. Everything has such a playful cartoonish feel to it. Especially your armadillo. I would love to see what the guys over at Pinchbot could do with a print of it.

Keep up the awesome work. By the way, your Zeoyn Cutter Brush rocks. Best brush I ever for sculpting fat folds / wrinkles. Thank you.
