I never played Guild Wars, but I would've definitely loved to do something like this for my Diablo 2 character, or Phantasy Star Online character, or any number of ones I put hundreds of hours into.
That's really cool tutorial and the LED in staff completes this charr figurine.
Officially supported player character printing service would be much more interesting than all merchandise Arena sold over the years
This is great, I hope some people pick it up and can make a business out of it. There's a few on e.g. Etsy that offer a service to turn game characters into 3D models.
I'm a bit surprised you need to eyeball the perspective. Shouldn't the transformation matrices be scrapeable, let alone grabbing the raw vertex data?
oh wow this looks great and thank you for the guide. Haven't played GW2 in over a decade but I do think about my time playing it every now and then. Made a lot of friends and great memories. Will have to login and see if any of them are still playing. Would be cool to print their characters too.
Thank you for posting this guide, although I've stopped playing WoW, I would have loved to immortalize my druid with a 3D figurine. I think there was a service for this a long time ago but I think the cost for the size was the reason why I didn't buy it. Do you have any advice on how to paint a figurine? For some reason Warhammer 40k has been popping up on my YouTube feed and I've been watching a lot of Warhammer figurine videos. It seems like you need a lot of specialized brushes and skill to make it look nice.
