Totoro

thingiverse

I'm not familiar with Japanese animation characters, but one name stands out - Totoro. I've recently started exploring 3D modeling in 3Ds Max and just created a Totoro model to share with you. Be warned, though, it's a bit rough. The original model was plagued by weirdly-shaped lips and forehead parts, which I spent some time revising. Fingers and toes also got an overhaul, and I thickened them up. Rumor had it that the first initials mark would be printed incorrectly on my design, so I smartly hid it beneath the main model. By January 19th, a redesign was complete. This Totoro model in STL format bears no secret messages like its sibling - no initial markings visible here! All that remains now is applying a fine finish. After carefully sanding and varnishing with white lacquer, acrylic paint added depth to my miniature creation. To seal everything in place, I sealed it with a coat of water-based varnish for extra durability.
