Moved the model into Blender 3.2 (from 2.79) for some detail sculpting My new self build 6-core PC, not a powerhouse but sculpting is much more pleasant than my old laptop. I usually like a warm/cool matcap for detail sculpting. Underside view I'm not one for very fine details but I do...

I'm not a plastic kit maker but these Bandai kits are tempting, esp. the 1/72nd version. Right now I couldn't justify the price or the display space. All the best with this build, great work so far.

Gradually getting a few of my old 3D models on Sketchfab (and P3d). Some screengrabs of the Styracosaurus, there's a few things I would do differently these days, I think the mesh structure would be cleaner, the head I'd base on the holotype specimen (as with my skull model) and the nostril...

I had a couple of great-aunts but they weren't exactly lookers (oof!) :)

mesh structure with subdivisions UVs for ant model, going to attempt some texturing

Think the mesh is about there

Leggy

Got some reference, made a start

With apologies to Charles R. Knight

Put some stuff on Sketchfab starting with the papercraft Dimorphodon, anyone wanting to build the Dimo might find this a useful guide to the final appearance in 3D https://skfb.ly/oxzOK Really old skull model, must’ve made this ages ago. The form is OK but the polygon topology is poor...

Congrats!

I'm really newby at this and to me, node setups look complex and daunting, especially other people's. They're much friendlier from a construction perspective because you can craft the look of components separately then connect them together. I guess what I mean is - they're simpler than they...

Yeah it's something a bit different, I'm also thinking about making digital models for sale. The 3D printed skulls aren't selling at the moment so I fancy trying a different sideline, it'll probably fall flat but I'll have fun in the process.

Fire Ant scribbles Pencil on A4 copier paper. Going to try making one of these critters in Blender

Great modelling!

Thanks to the new PC I'm finally able to move on from Blender 2.79 and have a play with newer versions, in this case Blender 3.2. Thought I might have to buy a GPU but for the moment the Eevee renderer seems to work OK on my CPUs built-in graphics, these screen-grabs were done with Eevee but...

Impressive to see this level of detail represented with paper. Always loved air-frames.

A few more pics of the Ceratosaurus skull

Finally done with it, got the model up on my 'side hussle' and the first pics up on Deviantart, just about to jpeg a few more. Painted with acrylic, the bone effect one is 1:8th scale and the faux bronze is 1:10th

Painted the Ceratosaurus skulls yesterday, still need to make a stand for the big one. Now I'm rushing to finish the photos. Wouldn't mind putting the model on Shapeways tomorrow, going on a family visit but I might get it done later in the day. The hot pink background paper worked OK, going to...
