Freelance 3D Artist Needed – Create 3D Printable Figurines from Reference Images (3MF Output Required) Project Overview I’m looking for an experienced 3D artist / 3D modeler who can recreate collectible figurines based on reference images and prepare them for high-quality 3D printing. The goal is to convert existing figurines, statues, or character images into accurate, printable 3D models suitable for resin and/or FDM printing. An example reference image is attached. The final deliverables must include editable source files and a production-ready .3MF file. ⸻ Scope of Work You will: * Recreate figurines from reference photos/images * Sculpt accurate proportions and details * Prepare the model for 3D printing * Optimize the mesh for slicing software * Ensure proper geometry/manifold meshes * Split models into printable parts if needed * Provide clean exports for printing The figurines are collectible-style display models and may include: * Racing drivers * Helmets * Character figurines * Miniatures * Custom statues * Diorama elements ⸻ Required Deliverables For every figurine: Final Files * .3MF (mandatory) * .STL * .OBJ * Native project files (Blender / ZBrush / Maya etc.) Print-Ready Requirements * Watertight mesh * Non-manifold issues fixed * Correct wall thickness * Proper scaling * Optimized polygon count * Support-friendly geometry * Clean topology where possible ⸻ IMPORTANT: 3D Printing Compatibility The models MUST be compatible with modern slicing software such as: * Bambu Studio * Cura * PrusaSlicer * Lychee * Chitubox Modern slicers can already handle quite advanced geometries and support generation, so the model does NOT need to be excessively simplified. However, the geometry should still be clean and optimized for reliable printing. The ideal candidate understands: * Resin printing constraints * FDM printing constraints * Support placement logic * Hollowing (optional) * Print orientation optimization ⸻ Preferred Skills Looking for someone with experience in: * Blender * ZBrush * Fusion 360 * Nomad Sculpt * Character sculpting * Miniature sculpting * Collectible figurines * Hard surface detailing * Preparing models for resin printing Bonus if you have: * Experience with motorsport figurines * Experience with scale models * Experience creating articulated parts * Experience painting prototypes ⸻ Quality Expectations The figurines should: * Closely resemble the reference images * Preserve small details/logos/shapes * Be aesthetically accurate * Print successfully without major fixes Accuracy and printability are equally important. ⸻ Workflow 1. I provide reference images 2. You create a draft sculpt 3. We review and iterate 4. Final model is prepared 5. You export all required formats Potential for long-term collaboration if the quality is good. ⸻ What to Include in Your Proposal Please provide: * Portfolio/examples of previous figurines or 3D printable models * Software you use * Estimated turnaround time * Pricing per figurine * Experience with resin/FDM printing * Whether you can provide pre-supported files (optional) ⸻ Optional Nice-to-Haves Not mandatory, but appreciated: * Pre-supported resin versions * Hollowed resin versions * Magnet/keyed assembly parts * Color-separated parts * UV mapping/texturing * Render previews * Turntable animations ⸻ Important Notes * Output MUST include .3MF * Models must be legally original recreations based on provided references * Good communication is important * Looking for production-quality work, not AI-generated meshes If you’ve worked on collectible figurines, miniatures, garage kits, or scale models before, please mention this in your proposal.

Hi, I went through your details and this is a full collectible sculpting and print engineering task which I can handle from concept recreation to production-ready 3D print output. I can rebuild each figurine from reference images with accurate proportions and detail preservation, then optimize the mesh specifically for resin and FDM printing, ensuring watertight geometry, clean part separation where needed, and stable print orientation logic. I will prepare fully production ready files including .3MF, STL, OBJ, and native project files, with clean topology and print-safe structure while keeping detail fidelity suitable for collectibles and miniatures. I’ve worked on similar 3D printable character and figurine projects before and can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Before I start, are these figurines intended more for resin high-detail display prints or durable FDM prints, so I can tune thickness and support strategy correctly? Best Regards, Muskan

As a seasoned 3D artist and printing specialist, I have honed my skills towards the development of high-quality, precise models that are perfectly optimized for 3D printing. Countless iterations of sculptures, miniatures, and products using CAD tools like Blender, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, enabled me to appreciate your project's expectations. My in-depth experience in prepping FDM and resin prints along with my extensive knowledge of slicing programs like Cura and PrusaSlicer will guarantee that your collectible figurines will not only faithfully resemble the reference images but will also be designed to print reliably. From esthetic accuracy to clean topology, I take every aspect of model preparation seriously. I understand the value of details in creating truly satisfying figurines, and I can assure you they won't be lost in translation as I sculpt accurate proportions for ensuring proper scaling. My work methodology aligns perfectly with yours: a draft sculpt is created after reviewing reference images which is then fine-tuned according to your inputs and preferences. In terms of my 3Dprinting experience, I have successfully worked with various materials like PLA, ABS, Resin etc.,bringing to life industrial components along with miniatures and game assets.I am particular about delivering print-ready 3D models optimized for each material’s printing constraints.

Hello, your project is very interesting to me. I currently live in Germany. Last week I traveled to Paris and passed through Belgium — it is very beautiful there. I have been working with 3D models since 2015. I create organic forms in ZBrush and Blender and also use a sculpting tablet for detailed work. I can do UV unwrapping, texturing, and prepare models for 3D printing. I also have my own Bambu Lab 3D printer at home for test printing and checking model quality before final delivery. Please contact me so we can discuss the details. Thank you and have a great day.
