Makerworld has an AI driven Image to 3D model tool that looks pretty damn decent......


First kick at the cat and it spit out what looks like a pretty decent model of a DIV barb just from a character sceen shot.

DIV Barb

There's a 4 colour 3MF in there and a full colour GLB. Both files can be opened and viewed on this website....


edit: They can also be viewed in the free 3D viewer from the MS store.


I'm currently attempting to print off a single colour version of the 3MF, but damn..... that's pretty bloody impressive if it works. It's obvious not a perfect copy by any means, but it's pretty damn cool if you ask me. :)

I really want to try out the brown version at a slightly increased height (This one's 4") but even at 3 colours it's going to take forever and eat through a fair bit of printer poop. :)

Bumped the size up to 150% so it'll come out to being a 6" (ish) figure. 3 colour, .16 layer height (quality) is going to take 2 1/2 days the great majority of which is taken up by the 1850+ filament changes. :)

I did attempt to cut down on the wasted purge filament by dialing the multiplier down to .6 and selecting purge to infill, but it's still a ton of purges especially since I upped the layer count by selecting .16 height. I'm not sure on the prime tower..... that takes up quite a bit of filament as well. It's essentially the same function as the initial purge line at the start of a print, but done after every filament change.

edit: I screwed up the first print (accidentally turned off the power and I don't think it recovered perfectly) so I re-did some of the settings which shaved off 34 g of waste (second image is the new profile). Fortunately I was only into the print about an hour when I did it.


We'll see what we get out of this some time Saturday morning. :)

Print failed somewhere around 36 hours. :( The prime tower lost adhesion so it was printing the purge lines to air.

Results were good from far, but far from good...... automatically merging down to 4 colours did not work great.

The model would work well if somebody wanted to paint it themselves, but I can barely draw a straight line with a ruler, so that would be outside my skill set. :)

That turned out a hell of a lot better than it had any right to. I damaged a fair bit of the small bits trying to get the support off, but that's my fault, not the fault of the model.
I see that and think of a old horror movie about a family that moves into an older house an in the basement there is if remember correctly a fireplace that is bloked off , the husband thinks its a waste so he opens it up and then little creatures at not come out and try to take them down into therr spot anyway I butchered the movies what its about but that reminded me of that movies it looks cool
