KNOW YOUR MODEL

Digital is a start.
Print-ready is a step further.

A 3D model describes a shape. A print-ready model has been prepared for printing. The distinction matters when you're planning a physical collectable.

Check what's included.

Model generation does not mean every result is ready for every printer. Check the included formats, print analysis and repair for your chosen package. Gallery listings describe the files offered for that model.

Plan for your printer.

Scale, material, orientation and supports can change how a model prints. Check the file in your slicing software and follow the instructions for your printer and material. Fine details may need adjustment for a chosen scale.

LOOK BENEATH THE COLOUR

Same character.
A different way to look.

Cinderbrush's textured render and single-colour mesh preview help you focus on different parts of the design.

Colour and characterThe digital surface helps communicate the intended appearance.

Shape and detailA single-colour preview brings the sculpted surface into focus.

Both images are digital renders. The single-colour view is a mesh preview, not a photograph of a printed model.

The smallest shapes

Look at the ear tips and fine fur. Their size matters when you choose the scale of a print.

The projecting forms

The tail, chest and underside deserve a closer look during support preparation.

The ground contact

The integrated woodland base is part of the shape to check when planning the model's orientation.
