Using a 3D scan to turn yourself into an action figure

0

Patrick used the 3D scan I made of him during the Blender conference to turn himself into a Gears of War soldier.

I am Patrick, 3D artist at Zazzy. Zazzy allows you to easily create your own customized 3D printed jewelry - I create stuff like the base 3D models that customers can then customize themselves.

When the Zazzy team was at the Blender Conference we ran into @bartv from Sketchfab. He was making some cool 3D scans from people attending. Bart was using an iPad with a Structure attachment to make the 3D scans. I got a 3D scan from the shoulder up, which meant that if I wanted to make some kind of super hero of myself, I'd have to find a body first.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
