Greetings, dear readers! With this journal entry I am starting the countdown to the end of this project! Also I see that this is the 99th post! Yey! Next one will be the anniversary 100th! The fourth and last set of figurines that my mentor  Martin Punchev  sent me consists of three models - a wild boar, another lizard guy, but this time he is a warrior and one mysterious forest nymph. In this blog post I will be talking about the model of the wild boar. It was created by Albena Boeva for the  Character design course at CGZEN . The wild boar by Albena Boeva He seems like a cool guy to me. Probably is ready to drop his new disco album! :D Model analysis Our object of interest today is separated into nine different parts. For this project each and every one of them has it's own important details which we have to show and of course be very carefull with the placement on the buildplate. The model imported into 3Ds Max As you can see the ears might create some prob

Hello, everybody! We are slowly moving towards the end of the project! Only three more figurines remain! Lets start the countdown! In this journal entry I am going to talk about another frog guy who enjoys boxing (his sparring partner is the frog from the previous entry ;)). The character was modeled by Alexander Tsvetanov  for the  Character design course at CGZEN . Frog boxer by Alexander Tsvetanov Look at him! He is ready to face his next opponent! Model analysis This figurine was also very easy to print. It consists of six separated parts in total.

The model imported into 3Ds Max The object was opened in 3Ds Max and scaled up to 5500%! The resulting height in Cura was roughly 14 cm. This satisfies the client's requirements. Slicing in Cura The things we need to p

Another day, another entry in my 3D printing journal. Welcome! I am already halfway through in writing about this exciting colaboration with my mentor  Martin Punchev . Only four more articles left until the big final! I can't wait to share all of them with you! Today the subject of my blog post is going to be the figurine of one very strong frog MMA fighter! It was created by Kiril Kolev during the  Character design course at CGZEN . Frog MMA fighter by Kiril Kolev This frog boy is ready for epic battle! I remember that I started to work on the two frog models (in the next article I will talk about the frog boxer) somewhere at the beginning of December. I enjoyed making up stories of how the two always fight for somehting. :D Image used with permission, courtesy of Kiril Kolev Image used with permission, courtesy of Kiril Kolev These are the original renders of the frog MMA fighter done by Kiril Kolev .

Hello, fellow readers! Your favorite 3D printing enthusiast is here yet again to bring you another episode of Vili's bizarre 3D printing adventures! In the following articles I am going to discuss the printing process of the third batch of figurines that I received from my instructor  Martin Punchev . This time the theme was rather reptilian. There was a lizard and two frog fighters who really love to battle with each other. ;) Today I am going talk about the model of the lizard businessman done by Donka Raykova as part of the  Character design course at CGZEN . Lizard businessman by Donka Raykova The final result was absolutely fantastic! Just wait a bit more for the grande finale! ;) Model analysis Our lizard boy is separated into eleven parts. Of course, the ones who need our attention are the head, body and the tail. Look at the small scales under the chin. We clearly have to show them. The other pieces can use more faster settings.
