It's been an interesting exercise making all the pieces for the DataCrash minis in a 3D modelling program. I've learned a few things about making shapes in Sketchup and I might just jump over to using Blender in the future. I'll have to see how similar it is to Sketchup. Anyways on to some pictures!

#50 The parts I've made so far...
As you can see in the following picture I've made almost all of the basic parts of the DataCrash figures in Skethup. All that I'm missing is the hand/shoulders for the Gatekeeper and Import cores. I totally forgot about them until I exported this snapshop and since I need to get to work I'll have to make that part tonight. :P
There are two cylindrical shapes in the front that I'm planning on using for the ICE figures. I'm leaning towards the one on the left since I think it matches more with the physical piece thought the one on the right might give more definition. I'll have to pull one of the figures out and look at the actual piece before I make my decision. Eeep! I've gotta get to work! Oh, the mushroom looking shape is used for a few different figures, might have to make a Heavy Import core and I need the feet for the walker... Ok ok! I'm going!

#49 More 3D models, this time bodies!
Just a quick post showing of some body shapes for the sentinel, gatekeeper and ICE units. In the picture from top center and going clockwise: arm shape, head/body shape, sentinel body, gatekeeper body, ICE/scout body, standard gun, and head antenna. Ok, I'm off to sleep.

#48 Working in 3D!
It's been awhile since I did some focused work in a 3D program. The only one I really know how to use is Google Sketchup (though I want to start learning Blender). The stuff I've done in the past was usually based around learning the different tools, especially the 'follow-me' tool which is awesome when it works the way you want it too. Otherwise it just makes really crazy looking things which can be fun too. Anyways, with working on DataCrash and my friend Omar making the minis I thought it might be a good time to get back into the digital 3D modeling stuff again. The DataCrash characters make good forms to start out with since they are relatively simple shapes. It took me a couple of hours to make the basic parts and composition for the Sentinel.
#47 Door counters for Sedition Wars:BfA
I haven't been up to too much lately. Been getting in some solo games of a couple different systems just to learn the rules. I have also gotten the miniatures for SW:BfA primed and ready to paint. One other thing I've done is to make open door counters for the game since there are none included with the many different counters that are already in the game. Anyways onto the doors! I've made a simple sheet that has six sets of red doors closed, twelve sets of red doors open and five sets of blue doors closed and open. I hope that makes sense. Looking at the pdf will probably make things a lot clearer. I have two different versions of the red doors open. It just felt right since the Alabaster station is well on its way to technozombie apocalypse and I figured not all the doors function quite right. Enjoy!
They are made to be printed on US Letter 8.5" x 11", no scaling as I made the image slightly smaller then the printable area. Sorry I do not have any pictures of them I action yet.
