Thank you!

I think there are a few different ways to 3D print metal-- but I thought the same. Yeah I wonder what's the smallest possible detail! The fingers on a good amount of the little hooded guys turned out pretty well-- not too shabby!

Hmm... Try switching between "fast" and "exact" solver modes! Or slightly move the box-- sometimes it can be strange.

Thank you m8!!

Thank you! :D

Same! haha those are great models

haha I can see the resemblance

Thank you!! He's a fun lil' guy

That's really interesting! Super affordable for mass model making. I'll have to do some looking around for those spincasting companies and see how difficult (and expensive) the process would be. Yeah the GW prices start to be pretty irritating when you look into the per mini cost of casting models after mold making. Granted they have a larger payroll than a small team of model makers do.

​@@iPaintSmallThings Yeah this was before the 3D design of miniatures was a thing so the biggest cost was actually paying sculptors, each miniature could be between £100-£250 depending on the detail, scale etc. However with the uptick in 3D printing and 3D design, the cost, well I wouldn't say it's gone down dramatically since hiring a GOOD 3D sculptor for miniatures is still going to cost you about that.

@@luketfer Not having to go through the whole mold making process is big. Yeah it seems the same in terms of sculptors-- just now it's digital. I wonder how "on demand" physical models are these days or if they have to have a certain amount of orders before doing a batch

Those are great guesses! A is basically correct-- they use metal powder and then zap/melt it with lasers.

heueheu toady rumps. I thought so, too! Thank you!

haha I tested it and I think the way it's melted makes it non-magnetic! I wonder if you could get it to be magnetic somehow though 🤔

It's stainless steel, which is naturally non-magnetic depending on the blend.

Oh I didn't think of that-- that's a good idea!

Oh wow that's easy!

haha I feel that! It's such a cool enemy

Oh I'll have to look into that! Thanks!

haha I'm glad I could help! Good luck painting!

@iPaintSmallThings I'm gonna need it, these fellas are deep (pun intended) into the dreaded "CHAOS TRIM ZONE" which is reserved for the thirstiest of time vampires. It's ok. The two businesses I operate and the album I need to finish don't need much of my spare time.. They will manage... wait, nope, that's my job, too. Curse you, vile cool minis, CURSE YOU!!!

@@maddog3902 lmao that's why I tried to do as much with the airbrush as possible. haha too many cool minis-- not enough time!!

haha this helps a lot^^ still brutal if you have to do a lot of that

Thanks a lot! No problem :D

Thanks m8!

I really appreciate it! You're welcome!

No problem!!

Interesting. That happens to me when I don't have everything selected in edit mode!

@@iPaintSmallThings yeah thanks i noticed shortly after i commented 😂

@@lazarman2000 haha it's all good😅

I'm not sure if it's the best way to do it-- but you can select the new surface with the face selection mode, right click, and then select "subdivide." A little menu will pop up in the bottom left corner and you can increase the number of cuts to 10. Then select the new faces you just created and do it again! That may mess everything up though so please make sure to make a copy of the object and save your project before doing it! This tutorial may help too-- but it remeshes the whole object. ua-cam.com/video/iveM_C6cenA/v-deo.html

@@iPaintSmallThings when i use this method it appears that only the edges on the rim of the new surface get more vertices, but it does not add them "on" the new surface. the video you linked however gave a very good answer, just use the "remash" option in the Sculpting mode and press Ctrl+R. that worked. Thanks!

@@user-oj8xu2cp6f Ah ok fair enough! Everyone who sees this comment do this^^^ I'm glad that helped!

Thank you very much! No problem!

Thank you very much!! :D

This updated video should help! ua-cam.com/video/dLWAF5igE6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=AAW7Xxsygy8dmGwr

@@iPaintSmallThings Thank you!

Oh no! What parts were confusing? This tutorial is updated and may work better for you (ua-cam.com/video/dLWAF5igE6Y/v-deo.html)

I'll have to try it! I've heard good things about it

haha I've never heard that one! I can kinda hear it actually

Thanks! Those guys would probably make for some really cool hive scum for necromunda or chaos cultists!

Thank you :D

Thanks m8!!

I appreciate it!

Glad it helped! No problem!

I'll try re-leveling! I was having trouble leveling when I first got it. Thanks!

Thank you thank you!!

That would be really cool! haha there is so much you can choose from

Yeah! They are very versatile. I believe they were technically a "loyalty reward."

You already know ❤‍🔥

I'll add it to the list of things to try! Thanks!

Those would be really cool! I'll see if I can come up with/find something

Thank you :D

haha they are definitely the coolest

Interesting. I love how they look! The cool thing about 3d kitbashing is you can edit the file until it's something you're satisfied with

<3 haha I got you!! Thank you!

It is! I did that in my updated tutorial (ua-cam.com/video/dLWAF5igE6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=b5u6zW8RVFN8ZEto)
