Title: BSC2023: Beefcakes Elven Temple
Post by: beefcake on 26 January 2023, 07:10:50 AM
Likely to turn out terribly as I'll end up printing it on an FDM printer but hopefully I'll get through it. Probably pop the files on for sale on my DTRPG site afterwards.
All in the brain at the moment.

Good luck. I think 3D printing is Magic.
I don't understand it, but I am fascinated by it.

I've seen your 3D work; I'm sure it'll come out excellent!

Good luck! :)

This should be tough competition - also nice to see some elvish stuff.

Make the seats on the pews nice and high - more comfortable for those long legged Elvish types and it will annoy any Dwarves in the congregation!

Bahahaha. That sounds excellent. I've still got to figure out what will be at the centre for their worship. Also will I make it High Elf or Wood Elf, I was thinking more high elf but kind of want to give modelling of trees and vines more of a go. maybe I'll do a mix. Kind of like the elves in the Baldur's Gate 2 game with my own spin.

3D printing is still a mystery to me, so look forward to watching how this develops  :)

I might even do something like a tre or even a small tree perhaps a bonsai in the centre (although that will be a pain to print as I don't have a resin printer... yet... hmm.
A fig leaf?
Fig leaf mioght be dangerous if it falls away, don't want to add the NSFW tag lol

Hopefully I'll be able to demystify it for you, or make it worse by just referring to everything I do as "magic" :D

Love the sound of this one and I am sure your elves will appreciate the effort.

Sketches, line-drawings and digital mockups are all fine, as long as there are no pictures of the work in progress itself  :)

Thanks :)
I'll probably be adding a lot of greenery to this tree after the printing os done. In fact I've had the thought of adding extra limbs sticking about. Might even try my hand at sculpting foliage with playable tops to them. so I can have a leafy canopy that minis can sit on. They are elves after all. :)

That sounds really cool; go for it!  8)

I have collected a fair amount of Britain's Trees over the years to be able to do exactly that. Of course I haven't  come around to it, but...  :D

Well I'm giving up before starting. Too much to do at the moment. Best of luck everyone else.

Shame, but no point stressing about a hobby that should provide
release from stress. maybe we will see it further down the line.

As others have said, this shouldn't be a source of stress and saying no is absolutely an acceptable option. Been stalled starting mine due to other projects, wondering if I should continue, so feel you.
