  1. Sculpt a new voxel following the stl perimeter with layer density [2x] or more

    * make it a little small in size than the original one

    When done:

    Select the original stl... RMB > Substract from the new voxel sculpt

    Interior spaces must appear

    I tried it with a small prototype... but your stl is very high

    hope this help

    With ParaNorman, we have made the first stop-motion movie that uses a 3D Color Printer. The technique is similar, but what the 3D Color Printer affords you to do is to build color into the model.

    It was on the latter that he became central to exploring for the company how modern technology could bolster what was being created by hand, and worked on the company's Rapid Prototyping (RP) advances.

    He now oversees LAIKA's RP department.

    Q

    : How has the technology been advanced since Coraline?

    A

    : With "Coraline," LAIKA became the first company to do a feature-length movie using RP, specifically for replacement faces printed on a 3D Printer. It was beautifully articulated. But LAIKA wanted to continue to push the level of performance that a stop-motion puppet could give, and to modernize the process.

    Now, with ParaNorman, we have made the first stop-motion movie that uses a 3D Color Printer. The technique is similar, but what the 3D Color Printer affords you to do is to build color into the model. So it's a big move forward.

    Q

    : For those who don't know - what exactly is Rapid Prototyping?

    A

    : It is terminology used to describe a process in which you can go from computer designed object to a three-dimensional, physical object. LAIKA uses 2 different type of Rapid Prototyping machines (commonly called 3D printers):

    • zprinter_175.jpg3D Systems z650 color printers. Powder based printers that drag a very thin layer of powder (plaster and polymer) on a bed and spray CYMK colored binder (or colored glue) This colored binder hardens sections of powder and then another layer of powdered is dragged across the bed and the process is repeated over and over until eventually you have a 3D part buried in powder. When you remove the 3D part it is covered in unhardened powder, once this powder is blow away you are left with a very fragile, but color printed 3D object. To strengthen the part it is dipped into a thin super glue which absorbs into the part and gives it strength. This process allows us to design and animate thousands of faces that are printed out in full color.
    • objet175.jpgObjet Polyjet Printers. Resin based printers that spray a very thin layer of liquid resin and water soluble liquid support onto a bed. A UV light hardens the resin and support, the tray lowers and another layer of liquid is sprayed and hardened by UV light. This process is repeated over and over again until a 3D object is formed. When you remove the 3D part it is covered in water soluble support material, once this support material is washed away you are strong plastic object. This process allows use to design and engineer tiny mechanically functioning parts that can be used in anything from puppet heads to props.

  3. the functions for testing an importing into TF2 are in 3.7 paint room ?

    export from v4 Paint Room
