The winner of 3DST40 “Miniatures”

I invited TobiasNoell, winner of 3DST39, to pick this week’s winner and tell us a bit about his choice.

During my lunchbreak I could manage to quickly look at the scanned miniatures. I definitely liked the “Box of Dinos” most. It’s a complex scan with a lot of occlusions and complexity. Nevertheless, most structures are well captured with a remarkable level of detail also at the lower “layers” of dinos. Nice result!

Appearantly, you happen to be the author of the scan, so I hope this is not against the rules

Yeah it does feel a little awkward to write my own name here, but at the same time I’m rather proud of my result, so why not! I’ll pass on the $25 prize though - we’ll keep that for the next round.

Congrats @Bartv

This week’s topic: Red

So today during lunch in Sketchfab Paris we were talking about a new topic, and we settled on Red (to give you a little insight into the complex thought patterns that lead to such decisions: our pizza boxes were red ;-). I think it’s a great idea, and so this week anything goes as long as it’s red!

About 3D Scanning Thursday (3DST)

Welcome to the 3DST!

Hey, nice of you to join us! The 3DST is a weekly community challenge for 3D Scanning enthusiasts. Participating is about fun and honor, although we do offer a modest prize.

How do I participate?

We pick a new topic every week and you enter by creating a 3D scan using any tool you like ([here’s a list of 3D scanning apps][scanning_apps] that you could use). Don’t take the topic too literally, just let the topic be your inspiration for this week.

After uploading, tag your work with the 3DST41 tag so everyone can view the contest gallery. For extra fun, post your entry below (just write down the URL in a reply).

The submission deadline is Thursday before midnight.

What can I win?

3D Hubs is sponsoring the 3DST with a $25 3D printing coupon. Thanks guys!

Cool, anything else?

We only have a few additional rules:

You can submit as many entries as you like.

Entries scanned before theme announcement are not ok.

That’s about it! If you have any questions, let me know. Otherwise, have a great weekend and enjoy creating your 3D scans!
