Hi all,
I've been playing around with Mudbox lately, here's the latest. He needs costuming and posing. I'm thinking he'll look good with a spear and some kind of mail apron at 28mm. Hopefully he'll print well at 15mm as well.

Great concept, well done. |

What do they call those? "Blemym"? (Or something similar…?) |

I wouldn't give him any cloths at all. I think a spear would do the trick! |

Cheers folks.
I didn't know about the Blemmye, very cool!
The tricky part seems to be adding costume and weapons to this mesh without having multiple overlapping objects. When fingers come together to hold a spear, should the model be edited so that they all don't interpenetrate, or can the printers handle a bit of overlap like that? |

Don't overlap at all, and make sure that all mesh faces are outside. Free advice. |

Depends on the printing provider and the software they have. Some don't have problems. Magics for example can handle overlapping/interpenetrating volumes. Non-manifold egdes and holes are bigger problems. Really, Zbrush has all the tools you need. From mesh unification, to stl export, to scaling. |

Could always make it open-handed to accept a variety of weapons or other objects…. |
