I never recommend it but have thousands of hours in and I think that's pretty representative. So much fun shared in there and so much jank, though they are always slowly weeding it out.

And your cartoon and anthro animal character designs and sculpts have progressed so much since this - it's been amazing to see! You've become so at home with it 😁

Delighted by this little mans, ever since the 1-hour sketch sculpt that he began as 😁 He's come so far...

Gummy guitars it is, and 10% upscaled on advice from @workbenchmaniac.bsky.social . I think the color scheme really pops now.

I avoided modifying any of the stock parts - it was more fun to build them fresh. But there's so much measuring 😭

Sadly yes, the latter....

My wife and I have one that lives between our pillows in bed and sometimes we throw him real hard into the other corner of the room for his enrichment

It's been fun, here's my scrungle too. Love the movement and how the Bandit class's skills play into it.

Hee, thanks so much! 😁

You should give it a go! The tools to do this kind of thing have never been more accessible, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. 😁

I am just loving the shapes on this man. That's an incredibly striking silhouette, and the way you've simplified the shapes beyond even the artwork really creates the feeling that the toy itself lives in a cartoon. Delightful expression as well!

Oh gosh, that's exciting! I'll be watching! 😁

Your Transformers Toons designs are so energetic and cool! It'd be incredibly cool to see what you could unlock there with some new tools 😁

I've done SLS nylon through online services before, and that's kind of a compromise with a very durable material but a somewhat crumby texture. This resin isn't as strong as that, but it's holding up if I design around the limitations.

Yeah, I gotta recommend Anycubic's ABS-like V2 resin then, it makes such a difference. I'd been put off from trying making action figures this way for a long time because of how crumbly standard resins are, and I never tried FDM because the detail resolution was so limited.

Eee, thanks! 😁
