The Bearded Yell

thingiverse

I wasn't planning to create a follow-up piece based on my previous sculpture, but I got inspired by the rugged charm of beards. I decided to sculpt the character at relatively low, medium and high polygon counts, knowing that I'd need support material for the final print. The top half of the model has successfully been printed on an UP printer using relatively minimal supports. It should work great on a resin or SLA printer. I'm eager to do a full test print soon, but first I want to see if a manually modeled support structure is necessary for the hair. I couldn't wait to make the file public and let the community have fun with it. Update: My model was successfully printed using FDM! Big thanks to ichibey for confirming this! I've uploaded an additional option featuring all detail levels in a single shell, mostly to fix issues related to the eyes. 3DWP, thank you for your help! The zip file includes all three versions of the character. The character was sculpted using ZBrush, and preview renders were created in Blender. I checked the final stl file saved from Netfabb to ensure everything looked perfect. Here are the approximate polygon counts: Low: 137,000 triangles Medium: 372,000 triangles High: 965,000 triangles Highest: 2,804,000 triangles
