The Three Graces Anime - Repaired / Reposed

thingiverse

The original model was truly exceptional, but unfortunately, it was severely damaged during upload. The mesh was marred by numerous broken vines and leaves, creating a chaotic landscape of polygons everywhere. I spent many hours wrestling with Meshmixer and 3D Builder to scrub away the bad polygons and models, finally coaxing the three girls into pristine condition. Next, I carefully repositioned their hands and arms to avoid any lost fingers or overlapping limbs, eliminating the pesky hover hands once and for all. Version two boasts the girls as separate entities, allowing you to customize them individually or manipulate them as you see fit. However, they remain prone to collapse. In contrast, version 8e_m represents a significant leap forward from the original. A sturdy stand has been added, providing a necessary foundation for the center girl's feet. I also re-sculpted her pillow to harmonize with her pose, while the left and right girls received wedges under their heels to prevent instability during printing. As an alternative, I considered using stuffed animals or other natural-looking supports, but these sufficed. Furthermore, I meticulously repositioned all the hands, arms, and fingers to align them with the thighs and hips, creating a more intimate pose that also streamlines the printing process by minimizing the need for complex supports. This revised model is now merged and ready for slicing. For an alternate take on this design, I've included a remix featuring a different pose. Please note that these models still harbor some problematic polygons near their eyebrows, which I was unable to fully rectify. Fortunately, these won't interfere with the printing process. Additionally, all three girls possess disc-like pupils that aren't securely attached to their eye sockets – an issue I attempted to address but ultimately failed to resolve due to their slender design, which prevents them from slicing successfully.
