Yes, 3d printing is cool... but it only makes an original model.. now why don't you take that and make a negative of that and use lost mould sculpture techniques to create a mould to make toys out of other materials than what the printer is spitting out?...

well i dont know if it makes sens to reproduce a uniqe avatar 1000 times
but with the moob´s in the game it would make sense
but thats a thing MA had to figure out if they want a conection to 3dprinters
It's really too bad FPC doesn't own a printer so they could do likewise and start up a toy company...
In that unnamed multi-million player MMO you can order your avatar in 3D nicely painted too. This has been around for quite long time now. Easy to google that, if anyone is interested for comparision.
Pretty cool man!
PS: Don't forget to cover your asses on using MA's copyrighted art.
Supercool stuff!
And, its fine that you do fan-art as long as you do not make a business out of it.
So um, when is FPC going to start making a business out of it?!?Originally Posted by Hanne|FPC View Post

If some community members were willing to pay the price of supplies and shipping, would that be permitted? You know - like going to the office supply store to get photocopies made if you don't have a copy machine of your own (I know, stores actually DO make money, but it was the best example I could think of).
If that would be OK, I would gladly pay for the price of materials and shipping to get a 3d cast of my avatar, that would kick ass! Either that, or I second the notion - MinkArk should start offering this service.

We will ask MA/FPC.
In generally there are two different possibilities:
@Hanne: Don't you think that would be a great improvement?
- making models of mobs and weapons, using the 3D-print as negative for an injection mould. That means hundreds or thousands of casts = low price per item
- making models of individual avatars as a 3D-print (textured or later colored by hand) in any size up to ~300 millimeters. This means unique statues = expensive price per item.
Ohh ... before you ask: sure we can do 2cm-Jenna Star Mercury-key fobs
I expect Marco would revel in being able to brandish an Opalo in the trade show booth.
How about making a marber bravo or opalo real life size or close to as separate sections you glue together or something is that possible?
or even better a Tango ME
Damnit, you're making me want a 3-D machine. LOL
