Shapeways?

[Nadesican 51]

Sooo, I've been working on this for a little bit, and she's juuust about ready for posing, painting, all that fun stuff. I've been thinking about uploading to shapeways to be a 3d print there! What do you guys think?

Impressive stuff, I think it's a great idea, go crazy!

How did you do this? What did you use I mean?

A combo of MODO for the base pony body, and Zbrush to make everything pretty. I'm a noob, so it's been a bit of an adventure.

Is there a link you could share? I'm new too! And just want to get started.

It looks great! What I think? I think it'll be expensive. Printing something yourself is dirt cheap but shapeways will cost you

Hmm... sure. Here's the version of Modo I use: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/55095/

And Zbrush is... well.. prohibitively expensive to get a legit license for. It's not as good, but try practicing with sculptris: http://pixologic.com/sculptris/

 

The basics in Sculptris are identical to Z-Brush, since they made both programs.

Thank you thank you thank you so much!

So... as it turns out, Shapeways killed the 'Super Fan Art' thing like.. 10 days ago. I'm pretty sure this means no 3d print for me. That said.. maybe I'll just go ham and make it a nice stand-alone 3d model?
