I may soon be getting access to a 3D scanner. Maybe is the key word there.

I don't know a ton about this, but I'm guessing that would expedite the process a bunch.

Man, that would be insane !

Turns out, we may not be getting it until the fall

Lyrgard · #**304** January 23rd, 2015, 11:24 AM

Well, we'll see then ^_^

And sometime, the 3D model still come out all messy. After the 3D model is created with 123 Catch, it still need some editing in a software like blender, but that is the easy part, there is people that know how to do it.

So what we lack to create an Heroscape data set for HexScape is indeed people making photo of Heroscape figures. Anyone can give 123 Catch a try (it is free). If you are able to generate good 3D models from your photo, we are highly interested by your help !!

Hi lyrgard,

I didn't read all the thread but i have the 3Ds max version of all the figures present in heroscape. Do you want it ?

Lyrgard · #**306** January 24th, 2015, 07:14 AM

Do you really have 3D models of ALL heroscape figures ?

Thats would be just totally awesome !! If I want them ? Of course ! For the 3DSmax format, we'll find a way ! I use blender because it is free and I don't have 3DSmax, but we'll find a way !

You're the savior !

Can you export them to .obj files?

Lyrgard · #**308** January 28th, 2015, 05:23 AM

There was a misunderstanding. Zzzzzz only has the 3D models that are included in VirtualScape. It is already super great, and we already use them
