Salty McCreedy - Detailed support free character sculpture to kick off 2022!

SaltyMcCreedy_V2.stl

Highly detailed support free character. Prints in FDM and Resin.

Diaggihl the Master

Free character sculpture, printable without supports.

Nyahrr Thritoni is not the most well known bounty hunter in the sector. He’s paid not to be known. Harder to tell you are coming if they don’t know your face. A highly capable invidual – able to take care of any security detail, encryption or defense mechanism that stands between him and his target. With or without discretion.

(Really been enjoying "The Mandalorian" if you can't tell, wanted to make a character that might come from that setting.)

Su is known by many as the one for negotiating peace with Orc Chief Nakhbruh for all inhabitants of the plains and the mighty forests that surround. A quiet and unassuming soul, she largely keeps to herself and would easily be mistaken by travellers as a hermit. Locals however appreciate that her door is always open for a hearty meal and sound guidance.

Support free character sculpt for use with all printers. Support may help in some places depending on your printer. Plenty of detail for resin, confirmed printable in FDM. For FDM, I wouldn't recommend printing much smaller, but can be printed much larger to show the detailing if you have the printer for it.

Approximate Poly Counts:

High – 3,357k polys
Low – 840k polys

Decided to record a Zbrush sculpture start to finish to share with you all. A timelapse video of the process is freely viewable here:

https://vimeo.com/413426474

The only things cut from the video were saving, dynamesh and reprojecting the main head mesh about 3/4 of the way in (inflate brush overlaps too many triangles, but helps the feel of skin when sculpting) and the end part where I decimate the number of polygons down and boolean the whole thing in to a single piece. That and creating the base, which is just a stretched cylinder really.

If you have any questions about the process or are just new to the idea of digital sculpture in programs like Zbrush, feel free to ask in the comments.

Test printed in FDM with no support, ample detail to print larger or in resin as well.

Be sure to post your makes, especially if you've had some fun painting them!

Thought this would be a fun weekend project.

Printable without support.

Orc character bust sculpture in three detail levels:

High Res = 2,117k tris
Medium Res = 795k tris
Low Res = 267k tris

Also I'm available for sculpture commissions if you like what you see.

Printed in FDM without support, also suitable for detailed resin prints.


Orc Chief Nakhbruh

Orc_Chief_Nakhbruh_MedRes.stl

A highly detailed blacksmith character, requiring no support to print.

I wanted to create a character that knew their craft inside out over many years and was satisfied with a happy customer and a job well done.

Tested fine with FDM and plenty of detail to print larger or in resin / other print methods.

High: 3,667,000 tris
Med: 1,362,000 tris
Low: 471,000 tris

Nuroh Gribsek - Master Blacksmith

BLACKSMITH_Med_Res.stl

A cheerful little pilot character, requiring no support to print!

Tested fine with FDM and plenty of detail to print larger or in resin / other print methods.

High: 1,130,000 tris
Med: 400,000 tris
Low: 136,000 tris


The Cheerful Pilot

TheCheerfulPilot_Med.stl

Fantasy Throne for tabletop gaming or however you would want to use it. Public Domain so feel free to use it or remix however you like.

Prints fine at this scale without support.

Basically wanted to test a few things like the chains. Ended up making them much chunkier than I usually would to help them print ok at this scale on FDM.

Would need to be scaled up a bit if you want to sit a minifig in there. :)

Enjoy!


Fantasy Throne

====== Advanced print! ======

Two friends have been searching many years for this treasure and lo and behold, there it was...

Turntable video:

https://vimeo.com/276710712

==========================

As titled, this is a multi part print. I recommend you should be very comfortable with your printer and slicer settings before attempting this one. That said, I've printed the whole thing on an FDM printer (Dremel 3d40) and all parts work fine.

My two recommendations -

1) Don't print any smaller than the parts already are. If anything, print bigger. There is a whole lot of polygonal detail per piece that would easily hold up at 200% or more. The main issue is the base piece is a single piece and already quite large.

2) Some of the thinner parts stay too warm when printing (or at least for me and using PLA) and don't print nicely at the top. The solution here was to print parts 08 and 20 together and parts 21 and 22 together. This gives each layer a bit of time to cool as the nozzle switches over to the other part. Your mileage may vary depending on printer and material.

Ample detail for more advanced printers like SLA, resin etc. This multi part part print is split with FDM in mind, but I have uploaded the final model as a single part separately here:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2976856

Most parts will need at least some support, but splits were made with minimal support in mind.

Have fun and be sure to show your makes!


Treasure Hunters - MultiPart

02_MONSTER_HEAD.stl

====== Advanced print! ======

Two friends have been searching many years for this treasure and lo and behold, there it was...

Turntable render - https://vimeo.com/276710712

==========================

Hosting the single shell version in case you want to split the model your own way in to multiple parts or print solid in Resin or SLA etc.

Printing all in one part in FDM not recommended!

Unfortunately I can't post the full 1.9 GB obj due to the size hosting restrictions, which is fair enough. That detail is maintained in the original MultiPart download here:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2975252

Have fun and be sure to show your makes!


Treasure Hunters - Single Part

TreasureHunters_SingleShell_MID.stl

I wanted to create the type of character that just got things done. The ship captain you can rely on... And the one you don't want to mess with. Just make sure the credits are right and Mack Rhukta will get you your results.

===============================

Detailed character sculpture printable without support at several detail levels.

Tested on an FDM machine (sliced with Simplify 3D) with plenty of details for Resin and other printing processes.

Highest - 2,754,400 tris
Medium - 1,395,098 tris
Low - 715,144 tris
Lowest - 171,300 tris

The other two files are the same mesh and detail level, just split in a specific place so that both halves don't require support and should join nicely.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I've been wanting to release a second full character that doesn't require support material for quite a while and now Niorsuha is finally ready for her adventures in the Public Domain!

Files physically sized for 170mm build height with some gap. Might be ok to print slightly smaller in FDM, but I would recommend just printing the two halves for a total of 160mm or so if you have a smaller build volume.

If you want to print much larger or in detailed resin, there should be ample detail there.

Approx 1.8 million Tris total. Let me know if a further decimated version would be handy.

Tested with Simplify3D and a Dremel 3D40.


Niorsuha the Apprentice

FULL_Niorsuha.stl

Wanted to have some fun sculpting facial expressions. Cheeky defiance was an enjoyable choice.

Test print worked well enough without support, but the forearms at least would probably work nicer with support.

Around 900,000k tris. Let me know in the comments if you want lower poly versions for your particular printer. Would be nice to know if that is something that actually makes a difference for people's printers / computers.

Cheeky Monkey

Having travelled the stars for many years, this merchant has carved out quite a reputation for seeking out some of the most exotic wares. From trophies to armour, shirts to ship parts - he'll have you sorted with the finest the galaxy has to offer!

==========================

Single part support free print at three different detail levels.

"High" version tested in FDM on a Dremel 3D40 using 3DFillies PLA+, will be testing on the Bean3D resin printer shortly.

Will also be releasing a more detailed 6 part version for larger printing that also does not require any support, but I want to finish printing it first before uploading as a separate thing.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this turns out on a range of printers as both a detail and structural stress test, so be sure to share your makes!

==========================

Note - If you are going to print smaller with FDM, I would recommend adding some support to at least the cane. I added the hanging cloth late in the design to help it print, but having the cane any smaller is expecting a lot for it to successfully join again above the elbow.

Serpentine Merchant

Snakeman_High.stl

Detailed creature bust printable without support.

I've been meaning to do more work with no support required for a while now. (My previous piece needed heaps of it...) Still working on another full character piece that should be printable without support as well, but started free sculpting while at Fab Lab Adelaide on the weekend and this happened. Good session. Cleaned up and reworked a bit at home and released in to the wild!

Tested on my Dremel 3D40, sliced with Simplify3D.

Should be fine printed at other sizes (smaller or larger). Please be sure to share your makes if you print him!

Low = 110,000 polys (approx)
Mid = 528,000 polys (approx)
Low = 1,573,000 polys (approx)

Strognarox

Strognarox_Mid.stl

Full character sculpt tested on a range of printer types.

Size wise, default scaled to 165mm high. Should be right to print smaller down to about 100mm or so, smaller than that in FDM and you will probably lose the smaller bits on the guitar, maybe some fingers.

Low = 262,466 tris
Mid = 1,052,064 tris
High = 2,105,320 tris

Guardian of the Fire Guitar

FireGuitar_Mid.stl

So I woke up at 5 or so in the morning the other day and was inspired to sculpt. I liked where the model was heading and this is where it ended up.

Will need to be printed with support.

Detail options (in file names):
80k points
191k points
410k points
958k points
2463k points (large file!)


Overseer of the Realm

410k_deci_Overseer_solid.stl

Sometimes you're just super happy...

Simple sculpt at relatively low, medium and high poly counts.

File will need support material, but has been test printed successfully on a range of printer types.

Sculpted in Zbrush, preview renders in Blender, final check and stl file saved from Netfabb.

Approximate poly counts
Low = 100,000 tris
Med = 286,000 tris
High = 907,000 tris

The Joyful Yell

JoyfulYell_Medium.stl

Ahoy there me hearties!

Whether ye be needin' a new shipmate for yer desk, a hired hand for yer board gaming crew or just want to put yer printer though it's paces, Plunderbuss Pete is up to the task!

He be printable with no support material says I - now keen to set sail for his adventures on the wild seas of the Public Domain!


Plunderbuss Pete

Character sculpt at two detail levels. More than that for this sculpt is probably a bit excessive.

File will need support material and scale of the file is somewhat arbitrary. Should print well enough at it's default scale, but will easily hold up with the detail at double the size if your printer can fit it.

Approximate poly counts
Low = 150,000 tris
High = 500,000 tris

Just Chilling

150k_JustChilling.stl

Available for commissions through bendansie.com

Character sculpt at relatively low, medium and high and highest poly counts.

Sculpted in Zbrush, preview renders in Blender, final check and stl file saved from Netfabb.

Support required. Detail works fine for Resin and FDM printers.

Approximate poly counts
Low = 137,000 tris
Med = 372,000 tris
High = 965,000 tris
Highest = 2,804,000 tris
