what character would you like me to design as a 3D model

I was thinking perhaps something like this as desing wise
Slinky is about the same height as hamm and the body is about an inch wider then the slinky plus the 3d rotation on the toy story site will help me alot

[b]By when do you think you will have the Mr. P parts? I would love to add Mr.Spell to my collection I think he’s fairly simple to make. I remember seeing someones 3D model once I believe maybe you can contact that person. If I find it again, I’ll post it here.

:smiley:[/b]

That would be me, heh.

lol I should have known so are you going to work with him?

I was in talks with Slink to get it 3D printed/produced, and that might still happen, but I haven’t talked to woodbuzz about 3D printing outside of this thread. Its a bit soon to talk about it too seriously just yet though, as my model still needs work to be screen accurate.

I want mr. Spell and the robot from ts1 :slight_smile:

It depends on the measurements of the model you made and if you can export it as an STL file as that is how the 3D printer reads the file. I found this model of a mr. spell and its really good [url]CgWhat.com is for sale | HugeDomains I’m gonna try to recreate what they did only in solidworks

Thats the thing, I did no measurements, I layed out a basic model, but completely eyeballed it. Backwards I know, heh. Slink has a buddypack figure (that I believe is accurate, just not not in scale)of Mr spell that he’s going to get me photos of for reference so I can adjust it to make sure the proportions are correct. I don’t have a great way of handling exact measurements however, so your methods might be better than my own.

I can export as a .STL with a script, though I’m not sure its been thoroughly tested.

well how about you email the stl file of the slinky as is I’ll check with shapeways on how much it cost
to be printed and let you know what they have to say on what to do to make the printing as low as possible

My last post was about my Mr. Spell model. When I mentioned slink, I meant Brian’s username. Not sure if I confused you, but I just wanted to clear that up.

I’ll have to figure out how to get the STL export working either way, so I’ll let you know.

Oh ok thats cool btw you can also upload an OBJ file on shapeways not sure if that helps but its worth a try. Update on the Eyes I’m ordering the prototype to night and they should arrive in early January when I get them I’ll post pics of before and after they been painted

Yes, OBJ works much better for me actually, because anim8or can export and import obj natively, and no information gets lost, except for texture and color information, which will get thrown out anyway when printing.

Oh good then if you want I’ll pm you my email so you can email me the obj file and I’ll see how much printing it would cost

It’s like you guys are speaking another language. ___

Ha ha I can get more technical then that what with all the different tools used to build a 3d model

my brain hurts jk x)

I’m drawing up some blue prints for slinky dog I’ll pics in a bit

BIG BABY!!!

3D printers can’t to cloth plus it be a difficult sculpt

I just got a conformation email stating that the potato head eyes are en route and should be shipped out from ups to me by jan 22 .
