About this service

Summary

Hello! My name I am a freelance 3D character artist with over 3 years of experience creating 3D characters for 3D printing. I can create any 3D character or creature you want and optimize it for 3D printing so you can print it with ease. My service includes:

3D modeling and sculpting of your 3D character

Painting and rendering a final image of your 3D character

Optimization for 3D printing through decimation of polygons

Splitting and keying your 3D character in parts so is easier to 3D print.

Process

First we need to stablish the 3D character you need. For this I will need a concept art or sketch of the character and examples of 3D characters that outline the final look of the character you want.

With this I start the modeling and sculpting of your 3D character inside ZBrush. I will send you updates of this process so you can give me feedback on the design of the character. This is the longest and most important process.

Once the final design is finished, I proceed to optimize it for 3D printing, by decimation and splitting the character in parts if necessary and creating keys on specific areas so you can connect the character once you have printed it.

Finally I proceed to paint it and render it so you can have a cool 3D render of your character. This render is done through Blender or Marmoset toolbag

FAQs

What type of characters you can do?
I can do any type of 3D character you need for 3D printing. From anime, to cartoony, to realistic. Just have in mind that, the more complex the character is, the more time consuming and expensive will be.
Could you provide other formats like .fbx or .obj
Yes, I can send you your 3D model on other formats, just let me know which ones work best for you.
Can this character be used for games or animation
No, preparing a character for 3D printing is a different process than preparing it for animation. I can adapt the 3D sculpt of your 3D character and make it ready for games and animation, but this would be an extra service and involves more time.
