TMNT Donatello modeling progress…

Used MagicaCSG's new Looped Splines and Slices for the crenelated shield border.

Next up: arms and his fighting staff.

@metin you should 3d print, they look adorable

metin,
@metin@graphics.social avatar

@OnceUponAGoblin Thanks! Yeah, 3D prints, I've been into that for years, but I've grown tired of the necessary preparation. When someone wants to order a 3D print, then it's usually no problem though.

TMNT Donatello modeling progress…

Modeling is nearing completion. Tomorrow I'll add some details, color the model, and render the scene.

@metin I really like the more realistic approach you take in terms of proportions! 🐢

@metin@graphics.social avatar

@daniel 😁 Thanks. Maybe next time I should simply create a realistic turtle with a mask. 😉

@mbt3d Thanks Mark! Looking forward to finishing the Teenage Mutant Ninja chap today.

Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 🐢

Modeled and rendered in MagicaCSG, slightly post-processed in PhotoScape X and Affinity Photo.

@metin You could probably sell this as an STL. It would be the first thing I printed on my upcoming new printer.

metin,
@metin@graphics.social avatar

@pixelworship Thanks! I sold 3D models for a while, but every platform sooner or later changes something to the disadvantage of the sellers, such as adopting some unknown new payment service.

If you've got a tip regarding the best platform to sell 3D models, that'd be welcome. I left CG Trader recently, and I'm not a fan of Epic, so I'm reluctant to go for Sketchfab.

@metin Cults3D is where I get most of my stuff. Only bought models there like two times, but still.

@pixelworship Thanks. I've heard of it, and will check it out.

Whimsical 3D renditions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

@metin I can actually see a story here 😁 : Michaelangelo ist going crazy mad, because Leonardo ate the last pizza. Raphael is simply grumpy (deep inside he wanted a slice too). As for Don...he wants nothing to do with it and is on his way to have a walk with a big friendly smile on his face (and a walking stick). 😁

But seriously now: they look great! 👍Well done! 🤩

@Silvermoon Hahaha, thanks! 😁👍

Made a little video, showing some elements that make up my TMNT Donatello.

I'm often making use of the Groove Blend option in MagicaCSG, which allows you to extrude an area using the intersection with another object.

If you like to see more explanatory videos, I'll be happy to make them and answer questions. You can appreciate it with a coffee:

Someone who kindly bought me a coffee ( https://ko-fi.com/metinseven ☕🙂) asked to see the hierarchy of my scene elements and groups, so I made a second video showing that.

The element names are in Dutch, because I find that a little easier when I'm creating a 3D scene. 🙂

@metin Interesting for me to see the naming in Dutch. Always nice to see how things go together.

metin,
@metin@graphics.social avatar

@mbt3d 👍 There are also confusing things. For example, "mond" means mouth in Dutch, but in German it means moon. 😅

daniel,
@daniel@social.dhelonious.de avatar

@metin @mbt3d Haha, that confused me too 😂

I find it interesting that you use Dutch names. I'm always torn between English and German names. From programming, I'm used to using English so that others can understand the code. But this is not a requirement for private projects 🤷

metin,
@metin@graphics.social avatar

@daniel @mbt3d Recognizable. Coming from a time when there was no localization in the computer world (For example, the Commodore 64 computer OS was only English), I used to name everything in English: filenames, objects, materials, everything. But a few years ago I realized that using my native language is just a tiny bit faster, because I don't have to translate words first, even though that takes less than a second.

mbt3d,
@mbt3d@fosstodon.org avatar

@metin @daniel I am lucky to be a native english speaker, so didn't have to learn all the coding terms, as all the language I know off are english based instructions, except perhaps LISP which is a mess of parenthesise 😂
Variable names in native languages seem absolutely correct to me, and as I said I find it interesting to read them.
Being English, it wasn't clear which second language to learn, I thought Spanish and then end up in Germany, now I have okay Spanish and good German.

@mbt3d@fosstodon.org avatar

@metin @daniel Wahr zu sagen Ich finde es immer noch schwierig zu schcreiben auf Deutsch, weil die Grammatik ist wahnsinlich verruckt. 😂

daniel,
@daniel@social.dhelonious.de avatar

@mbt3d @metin I find it strange to see variable and function names in languages other than English. But of course it's perfectly fine.

Yes, German is not an easy language to learn. That's why I'm not sad that I learned it as a child 😂

But then I learned French at school and French grammar is a complete nightmare 🙈

metin,
@metin@graphics.social avatar

@daniel @mbt3d I guess I will remember this for the rest of my life: mit, nach, bei, seit, von, zu, zuwider, entgegen, außer, aus, gemäss, gegenüber. 😅
