I’ve mentioned Shapeways before, and I finally decided that it might be time to give them a shot. For a quick recap, they are a 3D printing company that caters to… relatively poor artists. Which means that their prices are much more manageable than most. The only homemade model I had on hand to send in was the king model from the (still) unfinished chess animation that I made, as seen here in the bottom right hand of the picture.
My part is scheduled to arrived today (April 6th), so expect a photo update soon!
Here’s the next model I plan to have printed, assuming I ever decide I want to add enough detail to make it worthwhile. I sketched the concept one night when I didn’t have any early classes and the caffeine was strong within me, and it has been developing ever sense. It’s my current ‘pet’ project. I’m hoping to use it to learn mechanical rigging and animation as well.
I know there are plenty of Star Wars fans out there. I’m not big on Star Wars, (just the special effects involved), but yes, I DO know it looks like an ‘ATAT’. That’s not what I was going for, but hey, it is what it is.
