That would be great for miniature hobbyists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't take much editing to add shoulder flaps, straps, etc, to the models before printing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That requires a bit of sculpting yes :). Also you have to merge all props into one mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imarok Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Aren't some oft the textures done by first sculpting a detailed model and then baking that to a texture? I assume those could be easily transformed into detailed printable models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume those could be easily transformed into detailed models Some made by Enrique maybe but we do no have the files. But most of them are either hand painted or a mix of other stuff. The only thing that would be print ready for which we have the files is the sele elephant The Kushites skullcap and a few other helmets are too.

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Also, keep in mind that at the scale of a table-top miniature the model detail doesn't need to be very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
