Four Horsemen - Pestilence (Test Print)
Added 2022-05-18 11:49:16 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I have uploaded Pestilence in the google drive folder.
He has 2 body options ( Mask and Helmet), 4 Hand Options (Polearm, Curved long sword, Death Coil, and Empty hand). There is a 25.4mm round base but you can use any base you wish. Using a 3d app (like blender) you can also remove the chains, and smoke/fire from the shoulders and head (You can use this head for another project or add another head for him).
I will now work on the renders, I will probably upload him on the MMF store today. I will let you guys know.
After I am done uploading this miniature I will definitely look for a miniature photograph tutorial, for I am not happy with the quality of the images that I take. If you know a good one please share, my current setup is a cellphone and a lightbox.
Best regards,
Ivo

Thanks!
2022-05-18 12:47:44 +0000 UTCI will link the video that really changed mini photography for me. Although she goes quite indepth, and I dont really do any post-photo processing. The parts about light and ISO/Shutter Speed are on point. Balancing my light with my ISO and Shutter speed is what made my pictures pop. https://youtu.be/Lu9DPnZcb8E

2022-05-18 12:46:58 +0000 UTCHugo thanks! Yeah, I can try that but, I wanted to exhaust my other options before trying that. I fear that if I don't work the setting on my phone or the positioning of my object I might keep the same quality of pictures even though I have added work to it. It's also in my plans to learn how to paint but I still haven't managed time for that, in the meantime, my pile of shame will grow lol!
2022-05-18 12:46:34 +0000 UTCAwesome! Can't wait to do some OSL on the fire. On the photography topic, may I suggest zenithal priming the miniature with some matt primer before taking the shot?. I know it's more work, but it really makes the details pop, and reduces the light reflection from the plastic, thus making the miniature more readable.
2022-05-18 12:41:04 +0000 UTCMy wife is a licensed photographer by the way so its a bit of a taboo that I use his 3DPrintingPro's guides for this - he just has a very specific combiniation of skills (not to sound like a Liam Neeson movie) ;)

2022-05-18 12:03:22 +0000 UTCSome times I find that I prefer a strong light almost from above and just a little light from the side because it gives more dramatic shadows - a bit different from what he suggests. ALSO: the surface of the minis mean a lot. The more matt you can clean them down to the better the pics look.

2022-05-18 11:57:04 +0000 UTCLooks cool! Regarding the photography: Perhabs check out some of 3DPrintingPro's older videos out. Besides printing minis hes a photo geek as well. I learned a lot from him when setting up my stuff.
