POLL - If you could 3D Print a Daz Character which one would it be?

 

That's a tough one. A DAZ base character would probably be either one of the Girl Characters (either Girl 7, or Girl 4), Sapphire HD for Victoria 7, or FWSA Tiami for Callie 6.

Now if I could (afford to) print my own DAZ character, I would rework one (or all) of the characters below to be a 3D print.

Based on Sapphire

Based on Tiami

Based on The Girl 7

Hmmm .... I'd also like this one based on V6

kyoto kid

...considering the cost, I would pay to have one of my own original chracters Printed, either my little troublemaker Leela or my namesake, KK, not just a generic Vicky or whomever.

That is awesome, we will definatly look into that, and screen a few more FLGS!

I've ordered quite a few in primer grade finish.  I'm not sure I'm up to snuff to paint them, and if not, I'll go to my FLGS (Favorite Local Game Store) and see who I can find.  There are a few painters in the city that have been featured by the likes of Privateer Press, and several locals have made miniature games.  Showing off what I can get from Daz and GamePrint will be good advertising I think.

In any case... ANYTHING WITH AEON SOUL.  Anything.  In fact they are waiting to see if GamePrint can do them some justice.  :-)

What's the time for getting progress updates on things?  I submitted 2 figs 20 days ago, and got confirmation that they're working on them 8 days ago, but haven't gotten any questions or progress pics or stuff like that.

The Male Centaur

I ordered a male centaur (with wings) as 12 inch collectible and 7 inch single colour from a bonus I received at work... it's expected in February, I'll post images when it will arrive.

Here's the plan (rendered image)

Hey, sorry about the delay. If you DM your order, I will check on them and let you know what the status for each order.

Yes, I'm also very much looking forward to the final result!

By the way, I'm posting a copy of DAZ_Steve's post here in regards to commercial printing vs. gifts, for easier find: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/3231586/#Comment_3231586

I know there has been some question about the EULA, and how it pertains to gifting.  There has even been a quote from a CS person at Daz 3D as part of that discussion.  I wanted to jump in and clear things up.  

In the EULA, as it regards 3D prints, users are permitted to 3D print content for "personal, non-commercial use by the User."

The question has airsen about then gifting those items, as well as what is commercial vs. non-commercial.  To answer, this, it's important to look at the legal definition of "commercial use" is as follows:

According to 18 USCS § 31, term "used for commercial purposes" means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit.

So, if that statement applies to your use case, then your use is considered commercial.  If not, it's non-commercial.  Furthermore, so long as your use case is non-commercial, you are allowed to give 3D prints that you buy as gifts to others.

I know that this was confused by a specific customer ticket and interaction with CS (Customer Service) at Daz 3D which seemed to indicate that businesses were also allowed to give prints away to customers so long as they did not sell them.  That issue has been addressed with the one customer affected by it, and has been resolved.  We apologise for any confusion that may have caused.  

If you have specific needs for some 3D printing that you feel may be considered commercial use,and would like to find out for sure, and se if there is a way for you to get permission to do so for now, then please open a ticket with CS so we can review your specific situation and needs.

Waiting with bated breath for the minis to be available. Still haven't heard back on the quote for the third one I want (caveat, I did that one via the plugin. The first two were sent via email)

Very excited!

Hey Hanabi

Thanks for following up with us. We haven't launched any prices through the plugin yet.

So that is our bad on keeping you waiting for so long. We should send out prices as soon, as we have them ready.

Thanks for being patient.

Question - Have you ever tried to paint a figure?

What challenges did you face?

nonesuch00

I have painted wood carvings I have carved and my biggest challenges were:

1) Mixing the colors like I wanted 

2) Putting the brush where I wanted to paint

3) Paint bleeding out of desired paint area

4) And finishing with a finish that kept the paint vibrant when done

5) Clean up such that materials weren't wasted too much or instruments ruined or damaged so I could still use them later

All of those are important on a small budget.

I painted ceramics for years.  It can be a challenge to really bring out a texture (dry brushing is fantastic for this). 

Getting the eyes to look realistic, sometimes, those eyes are so tiny!

Printed figures for myself using PLA and tried to paint them.

Used Tamiya and Revel model paint I knew from painting airplane models decades ago.

Challanges where, fading eyesight, shaking hands in combination with tiny brushes and maybe also lost some skills ... ;)

The results are not worth to be shown here - think I need to learn how to airbrush ... then we´ll see.

Maaany years ago, I tried painting the NCC1701D Enterprise and a Space 1999 Eagle set (admittedly all not 3D print, but regular glue-'em-together' sets from the hobbyist store), and a clay-modelled that's-supposed-to-be-a-dragon-thingy. Let's just say, the end results reinforced the fact that I am painterly (and clay-modelling) challenged.

Problems and messes encountered, for example

• drawing straight lines/keeping the brush steady
• drawing thin lines or regular lines for the matter
• colour bleeding (even after waiting for the other set to dry first)
• angles/edges, often ended up with more colour than intended

One more figure from my Christmas figure-purchase binge arrived, and I'm sort of confused over what I received.

The quality is fantastic, and it looks more like a collectible than the 7 inch standard figure I ordered. Only, the figure isn't 7 inch, it's roughly four inches. Which made me curious as to, how is the 7 inches calculated?

That said, here's the handy-cam photos of the beauty. The images don't do the figure justice, and all the details a really fantastic! There's the fine body hair, and the wings pattern on the back, and the facial details.

As always, the figure arrived safely wrapped.

Even the loincloth tuned out great! He's slightly levitating, by the way, but that is what he's supposed to do - the dude is a mage, after all.

The wings tattoo is a very important detail of the character, so I'm really glad on how it turned out.

Question - Have you ever tried to paint a figure?

What challenges did you face?

Yes...  As luck would have it, I just finished painting 5 custom miniatures from Hero Forge. Note that techniques you need for smaller figures are not the same as what you'd need for larger ones.  With larger figures people tend to look closely, and the detail has to be right.  With miniatures, that's less of a concern, but they need more detail in terms of items scene.  Trim and character features tend to be exagerated.  Objects need to be thick in order to handle being played with.

I can't do eyes, but no one looks that close, and since I turned 40 I can't see very well, so I use the dip.these days. 

https://www.thearmypainter.com/

Painting base coats, then high lights, then the dip is pretty much all I do.  These are standard 2" figures with 1" square bases.
