Re: C3V/SoV 3D Printable Proxies
My list isn't totally complete as it seems some figures become more scarce by the day or waver between available and unavailable, price varying. So there are figures I'm not aware of that are now unavailable or pricey.. Havech, etc
And some such as the Red Mantis Blade dancers & Acolytes I didn't include since the proxy models are pretty good (Kursus proxy is good too). Personally I would like to see scans for buccaneers since it is hard to find decent looking pirate models/figures and Kira, Quorik Warwitch and Kon-Tar-Na, priority, for being currently unobtainable with unique models. If you do make a video on how to clean the scans, I'd also like to contribute where I can in getting that process done. |

Re: C3V/SoV 3D Printable Proxies
I really appreciate everything you are doing [MENTION=9472]White Knight[/MENTION] . You have done a service to the community here on Heroscapers. I wish I knew how to help contribute. I saw that there were jpg images with object files in a folder earlier in this thread with the gorilla troopers and the rest of the paizo heroes (Elaria the Pale, ect) among others that haven't been finished yet. Are the object files something that is printable or do they still need to be cleaned up? I'd love to print those minis if it's already possible.

I will try and post the new models later today, along with a quick explanation of the steps I take to clean them up. |

Re: C3V/SoV 3D Printable Proxies
C3V new models (need cleaning)
Steps for cleaning models: 1) Import .obj model into Blender 2) Rotate model (and base if necessary) into upright position. 3) Scale the model using the model's base as a guide to match with the gridlines (see my measurements below). 4) If there is more than one figure in the model, change to the Z direction. Go to Edit Model. Go to Wireframe view (Z). Select just a single figure. Hit (P) and Selection. This will make it into a separate model. Repeat for other figures. 5) Go to X or Y view 6) For each figure, go into Edit Model mode. 7) Press A to select the entire figure. 8 ) Left click on Knife and use the mouse to select Bisect. 9) Bisect the model at the bottom of the shoes to cut off the base. When the Bisect box comes up (after selecting where to bisect), check Fill and either Clear Inner or Clear Outer, whichever removes the base. 10) At this point, I'll usually go to Move and use the blue up/down arrow to move the bisected area down--making the feet slightly "taller". (Some figures have very thin feet.) 11) Right click on the figure's leg. Select ctrl-L, then ctrl-I, and then X and Vertices to remove any extraneous background or points. 12) Go back to Object Mode. 13) Repeat for all figures. At this point, the models should be in decent shape. Sometimes I'll go into Edit mode and fix holes and "bridges" between parts that should not be connected. I'll also go to Sculpt Mode and use Fill, Crease, Grab, and (most importantly) Smooth to clean up the model. Smooth really helps to remove pits and spikes. Then I save each figure as a separate .stl. Let me know if you need any help/pointers or just need more details. Figure base sizes D1-D3 D&D figures: 1.00" Gorilla Troopers: 1.558" Heroclix (8th Pathfinder and others): 1.360" Quahon (outside toe to outside toe wide): 2.1" Skull demon (Skeletons, Nhih Scrihr, Cathar): 1.190" Varkaanan Wolves: 1.565" Agaumo: 1.9" Zettian Deathwings (across the flats): .987" Zombie Hulk: 1.9" Major J15: 2.0 |

Re: C3V/SoV 3D Printable Proxies
Awesome. Could you create a shared file holding only the Obj's available for figures still needed?

Re: C3V/SoV 3D Printable Proxies
I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to use blender even with the instructions. I'm going to see if I can make usable .stl files from the raw ones using other software and if I can't I'll go back to blender.

Re: C3V/SoV 3D Printable Proxies
Yes, there are a lot of things I took for granted in my procedure. You'll need to do a Blender tutorial to learn your way around. But it will be worth it in the end--I've been using Blender all the time for many things. It's just incredible.
