i was able to use acrylic paint to get it a darker color while keeping the metallic shininess from the rust-oleum paint since the color came out a bit too silver
acrylic is great because it tends to go into the nooks and corners and give some natural shading

it is still drying but it did good getting into the seams of the print and is a bit closer to the prop

i really enjoyed doing this 3d model meshy project and if anyone has any other requests for wesen busts please let me know

finally got a metallic paint for them and it looks decent!

the one with the corkscrew was with white primer and the other was with black primer, i cant really tell much of a difference.

this was a fun 3d printing meshy project

this was a fun 3d printing meshy project. i will sell these if anyone wants one for themselves with or without the corkscrew.

was hopeful it would come out clearer but still happy with my sea goddess, i hope to get it painted close to the model art. used meshmixer, lycheeslicer, and meshy for working on the project.
does anyone have any knowledge of true clear resin?

was going to post this Tuesday night with my other mimic but i ended up getting a really bad migraine

The biggest challenge was working the teeth, mouth, and facial features into the wooden staves and metal bands while keeping the overall shape and proportions of the barrel intact. It took a few iterations to get the balance right, but I'm really happy with how much character the final print ended up with.

For the workflow, I used Meshy to explore the initial concept and proportions, cleaned everything up in Meshmixer, and then handled supports and print prep in Lychee Slicer before printing it in resin.

I honestly expected to lose a few teeth somewhere during printing or cleanup, but somehow they all survived.

I've always liked the idea that mimics don't have to stop at treasure chests.

This started as an experiment to see if I could make something that looked like it belonged in an old manor, wizard tower, or vampire castle right up until the moment someone got too close.

The hardest part was balancing the furniture details with the creature features so it still read as an actual chair first and a monster second. I spent most of the time tweaking the mouth proportions and making sure the teeth didn't completely overwhelm the silhouette.

For the workflow, I used Meshy to help explore the initial concept and proportions, then cleaned things up in Meshmixer and prepared the model for resin printing using my normal process with Lycheeslicer.

The print came out better than I expected considering the number of teeth and the amount of detail packed into a pretty small model, only chipped a few teeth in the left side but i think it adds character!

If you dropped this into a campaign, where would your players find it?

I decided to make a 3d model bust of Baron Afanas since my bust of the sire came out so well.

His design looked simple at first, but it ended up being one of the more challenging character sculpts I've worked on. The stretched skin, deep wrinkles, exposed anatomy, and long facial proportions all needed several rounds of cleanup before I was happy with the result.

For the initial model I used Meshy to quickly establish the overall forms, then brought the model into Meshmixer where I reworked the anatomy, facial features, and surface details

I'm planning to resin print and paint this as part of a small collection of vampire character busts.

I'm pretty happy with how creepy he turned out.

Any feedback is welcome!

it works great! now i just need to find a nice metallic spray paint for it!

I used Meshy for the starting model, cleaned it up in Meshmixer, and prepped everything in Lychee Slicer before printing. It took a bit of tweaking to fit the corkscrew insert because i made the hole too small so i spent a good two hours using sandpaper to widen it "most of which made it into my eye", but I'm really happy with the final result.

Always fun when a sculpt ends up being something you can actually use.

if i get enough interest i will start making them and busts of the wesen

I wanted to make something fun and practical for my brother, so I decided on a little turtle planter.

I started with Meshy to generate the base model, then spent some time cleaning it up and making sure it would work well as a resin print. After a few tweaks, I printed this version, and I'm really happy with how the shell and chunky little feet came out.

It's still unpainted, but I'm thinking it'll look great with a small succulent or cactus once it's finished.

I made this little turtle planter as a gift for my brother. I used Meshy to help get the initial 3D model started, then cleaned it up and printed it. I wanted something that looked cute on its own but would also work as a small planter for a succulent or cactus or small flowering plant.

It's still unpainted in these photos, and I'm debating whether to leave it with a stone-like finish or paint it to look more like a real turtle. What would you plant in it?

I wanted to turn the character into a small display bust instead of a full figure, focusing on the skull-like face, huge ears, ribbed torso, folded wings, and creepy ancient-vampire look. The goal was to make something that felt like a little gothic creature relic or tabletop display piece.

i used my ELEGOO Saturn 4 Ultra 16K Resin 3D Printer and used meshmixer and meshy to help with model creation/design. i also use lychee slicer to help with hollowing, interior structuring, and fixing any errors that might cause the print to fail.

now i need to figure out how to either paint it to look like marble or i will need to learn how to make plaster castings to use this as a mold
