That's pretty sweet, Eric!

Did you use textures or just SU colors?

Eric. .. those are wonderful. Very nicely done. And don't worry. . .my pants are faceted too.

Happens a lot actually . . .

Just SU Colors Marcus. The top image was rendered with Twilight while the finely dressed monster is straight SU output.

Those turned out quite nice!

Thanks Eric.

With their help hollowing your model, it seems that iMaterialise helps customers with their models much more than Shapeways, whom I usually use. Good to know if I have a troublesome model.

That's fantastic Eric, character modelling in sketchup was an obsession of mine, well done

Excellent stuff Eric, glad to see you posting again also.

I have been itching to 3D print some of my now over 300 cartoon characters, waiting to either win one or one fall off a truck as I'll never afford one (wife says if it ain't gonna make money I don't need it)

Pete, you could use a print service like Shapeways or iMaterialise... Cheaper than buying a printer, plus there is a huge range of materials. One little 3-4" model will run ~$20-30.

The home printers are pretty much a pain anyways, trying to get a decent print can take more time than modeling it and you only get one (or sometimes 2) colors. A professional color printer like the one use to print Eric's model (Stefan's design) above runs about $50K.
