Improvement in cat model. What more can be improved?

Here is my improvement of my cat model. Found some good reference images and used the mask tool to really make the chest hair pop.

I'm quite happy with the result but but would still appreciate critique and suggestion for what could be improved. I feel like the tail and paws can still use some improvement.

Trying to make models of my Cats. What can I do to improve them? (Cats pics included)

Hello!

As I am trying to learn 3D-modeling in Blender I tried making models of my cats to practice making fur and sculpting. The goal is to be able to resin-print the models as miniatures later on.
I am still quite new to Blender so would appreciate any advice at all on how to improve the models. Be nitpicky.
Also any advice on making better paws, have found it more difficult to make than hands.

Thanks in advance!

How do I sculpt fur?

Hi everyone.

In my journey to learn 3D-modeling I am in the process where I want to create fur. Since I model to 3D-print I don't think I can use the fur simulation in blender. Does anyone have any tips or tutorials to create stylized fur?

I am also open to critique to the base model if you see anything that can be improved or I should try to get better at.

Also added picture of my cat at the end, the hope is to get a print that can represent her.

Shop Critique

Store: https://starcatprints.etsy.com

Hello!

I have recently started a etsy shop where I sell Dnd miniatures. While I am still working on getting more listings and new miniatures i would like to become better at creating listings.

  • How are the photos for the products? What can be improved and do they need to be improved?
  • Is there something missing from the descriptions that should be added?
  • Does the pictures and descriptions together give a clear idea of what is being sold?

I got to try a 3D-printer and really feel in love with the hobby. The store can hopefully mitigate some of the cost of the hobby but if it becomes bigger than that i wouldn't complain.

I try to have unique listings that I don't see at other stores but hopefully will soon be able to sell my own designs. I also try to add small improvements where I can to make it easier for buyers to use the miniatures they buy.

Thank you in advance for the help :)

Post processing of miniatures

Hello!

I have been printing miniatures for about 2 months know and while I'm happy with the printing itself the post processing something leaves scratches on the miniatures. My process is to remove the supports after washing but before curing. I use a mixture of tweezers, nail clippers and craft knives when just pulling doesn't work.

Is there a good way to sand down the scratches either before or after the prints are cured? Please share your way of getting perfect miniatures :)

Dragon Appreciation Post

My thanks goes to u/mz4250 for all the awesome models. It's a big part of why I got my resin printer

Just sent away the package of my first sale

It still feel a bit unreal. Have only had the shop open for about a week and tried not to expect to much. Somehow on Tuesday i got a lot of views to the store (about 20) and one person bought something and even started following the store.

Tell me how it went for you after your first sale. Did it pick of from there or did you still have to wait a bit to be more noticed?

What I've made after 2 months learning sculpting in Blender

I’ve been trying to learn Blender over the last couple of months. I mostly make miniatures for 3D printing, but I still have a lot to learn. What tips do people have for getting better at sculpting? (Besides sculpt more, I’m already doing that.)

My first model created from scratch

Recently got into the hobby, and it has been awesome. I’ve printed a lot of miniatures for D&D, but this is the first one I designed myself. I needed a crate mimic for Dragon Delves, and I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Printed the gray bag of tricks for my wife's first campaign

Please ignore the horns on the elk. She says they are supposed to be that way now.
