<p>ebross uploaded a very nice bust of a sectoid from the game XCOM2. I printed and painted it but it really needed a nice base. I designed one so I could show it off.

So much sanding.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Blender + Inkscape</strong></p> <div><p>Got a logo image from a screen shot. Imported to Inkscape (Free, open source). Used the tool to trace to an SVG vector file. Then imported that to blender. Converted the vector to a 3D object and extruded it. Combined the logo with the plinth shape.rnrnI printed this with the back on the print bed. No supports are needed. If your printer can pause in mid print you might want to change filament for the logo instead of painting it.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: Games
