CGTrader's Top 3D Printable Models for the Month

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Well, CGTrader was kind enough to provide their top downloaded, and top viewed 3D printable models to 3DPrint.com for the last month. As you will see in the article we just published, there are some pretty creative and incredible models; some sexy, some intricate, and some just plain silly. Check out the full image gallery here: http://3dprint.com/26466/cgtrader-top-3d-models/

Let us know if you have decided to try printing out any of these ten models. Feel free to post images of your prints here as well as details on the printer and filament you have used. Below is the #1 most viewed 3D printable model of the month.... I wonder why.....

PROTEST!
Why did you think it necessary to scribble over the image? I'm sure that the majority of members can view an image of the human from a location further from their knees that your censorship implies. What is next? Lopping off the male appendages of Michelangelo's David?

I'd prefer to print things people modelled by hand

I have been using a program solidly for render & animation for about 18 years, it's called Poser. And I still use it today.

That model is actually a poser figure that has been converted to an OBJ file and then sealed in netfabb, not terribly difficult - nor original, nor alot of effort involved in creating it.

It seems to be the way of the new 'designer ' .. none of this actual hard work...

1. File / Export / OBJ
2. Weld Vertices
3. Upload to Netfabb
4. distribute
5. claim glory.

The worst part?

They did not even create the pose she is in, that is a preset Pose (i.e you simply double click and it poses the model for you) and the chair is a primitive prop included with the program. I wonder if Smith Micro are ok with people selling their content... might look into that one.

They're asking $9 for the 3d model of her. Some of the released models are FREE, but not all. Geoff they used to call it "sampling" in the music industry didn't they? Now its a standard How its done.
