Kingpin update time,
I merged the head and refined the facial expression. Also I reworked his hands because the first version was kinda weak in terms of posture.
Slowly everything comes together but my Zbrush file isgetting slower and bigger :D

I came up with a fun exercise to sharpen my current skill sets.

My goals are: "sculpting directly in pose" and "creating printable statues"

It's so not my comfort zone, I swear a lot like a sailor!

My first Statue is based on Marvels Kingpin.

But besides my yelling, this is a pure fun project :D

Here are my first WIP shots

I found an older sculpting piece on my hard drive soo I sculpted that thing a little bit further and made a quick rendering and overpaint.
I like the idea that this rabbit is the one from alice in wonderland. Maybe I will start sketching out a full body sculpture.

I'm working on a creature idea and it's tall ....
maybe I will make a 3d print out of it because I really like the shapes. But for now I'm in the process of sculpting the shapes and playing with material ideas.

Older version, before I started to making some kind of shell with 4 arms in it :D

I made a 3d printable version of my grin sculpting.
It was quite a challenge making a hollowed version. I made a hole for the fluid but also to be able to be used with a pedestal and a metal pin and therefore I hat do build inside of this model a few supports to carry the bride of the pin hole.
My last print of this head was a mess, because I misscalculated the amount of supports therefore the print got stuck and detached himself from the print bed. I updated the version with more and thicker supports, but now I have to cleanup a few areas before the color wash.

The overall print time was 6h, the size is ca 10 cm height.

Hey everyone,

For my Doom 3 Fanart Project I made a Trite too. Here is the latest texture update, rendered in UE4

After 27h of printing, my first sculpted and printed figure is alive!

It was a weird thing, watching this print growing slowly by every hour and not knowing if the print would fail. But everything went fine and I already love the amount of details :D
I hollowed the mesh within Zbrush by hand with live booleans to have more control over all the small corners and to learn, how this stuff works. The height of this print is 22 cm.

Here are a few impressions, the mesh needs still to be sanded and painted .... 

Hey everyone,
I worked on a more advanced unreal shader and build a system to simulate the movement of veins under the skin.

Hey hey,

after a few years of thinking about having a 3d printer for myself, I finally bought one!
It's an Anycubic Photon mono x and I had no idea what I'm doing :D

I was slightly naive! In my mind printing with resin is straight out of the box and plug and play ... well after two fail prints .. I made more research and worked with different exposure setting based on my bought resin. It is interesting that the printer doesn't use .stl files to print. Instead you have to use a slicing software to make a printer readable file based on your stl.

Anyway .. I was able to make my own print file (yay) and hey it worked! I printed a genga test mesh ca. 5 cm tall in about 5 hours.


Currently the most intense moments are right before you can see your model on the build plate :D

I printed the test directly on the plate because I have still to figure out, how to use the supports propperly. Oh currently I'm using water washable resin because I don't wanted to handle the alcohol stuff yet

Here is the model fresh out of the printer

I bought besides the printer also a wash and cure mashine, it's so easy to handle and I get an even UV light result (looks like a disco for miniatures :D)

And here we have my first "good enough" model, washed and cured. I really like how sharp the edges are and the surface is very smooth.

So yeah that's my printing journey so far. I found online a few guides for propper printer calibration and I will jump onto that topic next.

Stay tuned for updates!
Cheers Oliver

Hey hey,

I'm making progress on the creature and currently I'm sitting on the texturing. I prepped a devlook scene and testing the current paint job under different light conditions.
