"World of Shadows," a popular mobile-based MMORPG from playtox with more than 21 million players across the world, is stepping outside the smartphone screen; playtox recently challenged fans to develop 3D models of characters from the game. One participant, Russian Gregory Krasnoperov, is an art university graduate who truly rose to the contest with his design for the character "Armour of Pain." After starting out with pencil sketches, Krasnoperov created 3D sketches in Zbrush and ultimately prepared it for 3D printing with netfabb and sent his files to Shapeways. The finished model is available on Shapeways so other fans of the game can have their own figure, and the results are truly impressive.
