Nice, you can see I had to make the horns stump for conform to the Shapeways specs. With a small scalpel you can make the horns pointed carfully if you wish.

Yes, all the plastic materials of Shapeways are paintable :) On the forum of Shapeways are some tutorials. The models must be good cleaned before and get a thin layer of primer spray before painting.

Thank you!!!

ooooh they look so nice!

*wants a 3d printer, now*

I know some people here want also try this kind of software. Now I've found there is a free version of the program I use. I use ZBrush and the free version is Sculptris. Of course this program has fewer options, but I think this is a good way for trying this way of sculpting. I thought, let me just mention for lovers. :)

Hi all, it's a long time since I've posted something, so I want to let you hear I'd not quit. Sadly I had nearly no time for creating new models I make very long days with my internship, so time for modeling is rare. There are still a lot of animals in the queue for finishing, so maybe I'll show soon some sneakpeeks. Hopefully I can release soon some new models on my site. :)

Hello. Stijn !!!! Good to see you are still there  

I hope very much you will have time to show us some sneakpeeks    

Welcome back     

Like I said, I'll show you a sneakpeek of one of the animals I work on. He's far from ready, but I hope you'll like it :

Stijn,
He looks great so far! In fact besides the circled blemishes the only thing it see that I would change is the legs, they should be much more bulky or sturdy for such a strong and massive bull, besides that I don't see too much more to do but I know nothing about 3-D printing so I defer to you as the expert.

Looking good, Stijn!

Wow, looks great so far!

Thank you all!

Yeah, you're right. I've to make him far more muscular. And the blemishes in the circles are my working points  The biggest point is the target on this side of the model and the small one is the mirrored point, so first te model is completly symmetric, till I give him a pose.

I want to show you an other sneakpeek yet. I'm not only working on African animals, so here you can see my first unfinished Indian animal (mother and calf). Hope you'll like them:

They're beautiful! Amazing job!  And it's only the beginning!

Wow he's wonderful!

Also nice new animals

That is interesting, I thought they were imperfections and the circle was highlighting the area to correct them.

The Indian mother and calf look fantastic as well, I can't wait to see them finished!

Fantastic works Mini nature

These look really good. I'm always interested to see models done on the computer like these. It seems very interesting.

This is a very interesting project but I would have a request... Indian rhinos are common animals in the Toy world and even if your sculptures are very fine, it is still one more Indian rhino. The real rare rhinos are the Sumatran and Javan rhinos. Joan already made a Sumatran rhino model for us. Wouldn't it be fun for you (and us...) to make a Javan rhino and calf ?

I love the rhino, can't wait to see it finished  

Those rhinos look like they are progressing nicely, good work.
