Hello,

I want to present you our project, createyourminis.com.

On the website you can create a model from spare parts like clothes, weapons, poses, etc. Later you will be able to order your creation as 28mm miniature (maybe other scales will be added), we will print it in 3D and send it to you.

We just added female models for you to try them on. We hope to start a crowdfunding campaign in the next weeks. The target price is 4-6€ per model.

Here are some creations possibilities :

All those models have been created on our site with no alteration to the 3D models, we just added bases and gave them more processing time to have prettier images.

If you are interested by our project please like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter.

And now, try to create your minis !

Well i didn't seem to have any problems seleting items, poses, ect.

The loading time to finalize is abit long, at a point i thought it might not work. But it did.


I then hit the return buttom and added more options and such. When then i finalized i got a page of text/code after it loaded for ahwile. I refreshed and it was the exact same error. I apparrently selected a combination of items that caused a error i think.

Other wise this seems prety interesting. I will PM you the error report.

You can colour me interested, especially once their are more options and poses.

Not a single bug or problem for me!

Gotta say, if you guys add more options and customizability, you could really be on to something. I've already created two miniatures that I'd love to have in the flesh. I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on this project as it develops!

~Tim?

With more selections to choose from, I would definitely be interested in this. Out of curiosity, what would the price range look like for these minis?

I had fun, the only thing I really miss right now is a Assault Rifle style weapon, but futuristic, or anything that's not an AK.

I'm really loving fiddling around with this thing. I could definitely get into this if the price wasn't too crazy

Who owns the copyright/repro rights for a mini created this way?

I would imagine they'd include some clause about them retaining all rights to reproduction unless at some point they offer an option to load your own 3D files.

The creator worked well enough. It would be nicer if it rendered in real time according to changes being made on the fly, but I have no concept of what that requires on the back end.

Also, while the creator app works fine, the biggest test will be the prints and whether they live up to the renders and if people feel the price is right.

The bug has been fixed, thank you for your help.

We have cheap servers for now, with hamsters running in wheels because it's just a demo. Obviously we'll get more powerful servers once in production (with faster, stronger, better hamsters).
If it's not enough we might have other options to speed up the process.

Of course the number of options will grow. Currently we are focused on solving technical issues, from that point of view having other assault rifles is of little interest (if we can do an ak47 we can do any rifle hold the same way). But once it's done we will be able to add choices relatively fast. For instance, we just add a new assault rifle with a more futuristic look, just for you Bob. Well, not just for you, the others can use it too, but still.

What do you think we should increase first ?
- the number of poses ?
- the number of clothes/armor ?
- the number of weapons ?

(we could also provide a female model, or elf and dwarf, etc. But it's more work to do)

 Jimsolo wrote:

The price range should be between 4€ and 8€ (around $5.5 and $11, with VAT). We did all our estimations with the goal to reach 4€ but as long as we don't confirm the whole production process the price can derail (but 8€ is really a worst case scenario).

Beside, the pricing policy is not decided yet. For example, will it be 5€ for any model or 2€ for a naked
model with a small extra for each cloth/ weapon ?

Real time would have been better but we didn't chose that option for several reasons, the first being that real time would have to be done on the browser of the user, so he would have to download the model, which is big. For a smooth printed miniature we need a highly detailed 3D model, this is why the server takes so much time to provide you the rendered pictures.

 Aerethan wrote:

Indeed, in fact the project needs 3 important things to succeed :
- The website being simple and fun to use (that test seems to be passed)
-The printed models being detailed enough (you don't know that but that test is passed too, unless the 3D printer's owner tricked me with a false sample)
- The price.

Absolutely love this, and will definitely buy from it! My only request is that the main image updates with the selection you choose as you're "assembling" it to get a better feel for the finished result without having to go back and make changes after.

You could show a (far) lower quality preview to the user. Basically taking the images you display in the browser and combining them the way they would on the final model, and then have the final render done on the backend - the preview need not be 100% accurate, but it would show things like if you give a model all the belt options, will they be hidden underneat a trenchcoat, or will the belt be on top of the trenchcoat?

It would be nice to give your customers the ability to pose the model however they wanted. Until then, I think more preset poses and other body types are a must. Human women and dwarves would be good to see next.

~Tim?

This is awesome, already ive made a few models i would love to own!!

I'd like to see a Tricorn hat added into the model range along with a few more options but otherwise this is a great start ^_^

Armor, probably, you've got something medieval going on with weapons and helmet, but I don't remember seeing plate/mail armor

Clipping would be something I'd look into, before adding more stuff, especially if you're going to add more stuff to go on the holsters.

The aiming downsight pose is also looking a bit too high, if you understrand what I mean.

What do you call “clipping”? When two parts overlap?

We will probalby give the ability to request specific options :
- as a customer loyalty reward (you bought for X€, you can chose an element to be created)
and/or
- as a backer reward from a kickstarter/crowdfunding campaign.

Yeah, for example, the machete goes through the model leg and pokes out the other end.

I'd like some body morphing, although I suspect that'll come along soon. The current model is a bit pudgy for my liking.

Maybe the ability to submit CAD files would be nice too.

Wow this is pretty awesome. I especially liked this part:
"Our gremlins are assembling your model, it may take them a few minutes.

(think of the gremlins !)"

I think that it would be cool if you could select a few races and a few more gun options etc. Well just more options in general but overall it worked awesome for me I will totally order one!
The backpack I chose (the last one I think) seems a little large for the figure though)


EDIT:
Just saw a glitch in the position of the large knife on the left leg when in the standing pose (it goes right through the leg).
Think of the gremlins!!!!!!

Will female models be available soon? There always seems to be demand for realistic female minis.

Our gremlins are working on it.

theHandofGork wrote:Will female models be available soon? There always seems to be demand for realistic female minis.

Female models will be the next ''model type''. In fact, our system is more interesting for female models as women have always more variety for clothing (armors can range from realistic to sexy).
The only reason we didn't start with female models is because it adds a couple of technical difficulties.

(Yep, I said it : women are more complicated than men)

Why is it only the women who get sexy armour? What if I wanted an army of men wearing chainmail loincloths and nothing else?

 lennymaybe wrote:

We will probably make a couple of loincloths for barbarians or slaves and an anatomically correct pelvis, but I doubt it will go much further. You can see on game modding websites like nexusmods.com that sexy clothes are almost exclusively for women. It's a question of market size and best use of limited resources really.

But are you really interested in sexy male underwears ? I mean, if you are enough willing to buy them we will make them, no question about that. It's just that I would be surprised.

I think it needs some kind of preview as you change the pieces. Doesn't have to be perfect can just be a composite made out of 2d pictures of the miniature from the front but just something so I can have a rough idea of what its going to look at as we are going along.

I very much like the concept though. With some UI enhancement and a larger range of options it could be very useful.

As long as we get realistic, practical clothing/armor options for women, I'll be happy.

Also how do you remove stuff? I tried removing a gas mask but the check box was greyed out.

You don't unselect your choice but select the white square to replace it. I admit a white square on a white background may not be the most obvious thing in the world, it will be changed.

Hum... You are many to request this feature. Something in real time is not currently possible, but we may be able to provide you a quick & dirty preview, ready in (hopefully) less than 10 sec.

Would it be enough ?

It's kind of needed to you have an idea of how the minitures parts look so far. Maybe a quick preview button on thr side would work. Would have to try it to see of it was enough.

This doesn't seem to work on an iPad, is that right?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ignore that it's working now after a while loading. Thought it had frozen or something

Big update !

First, since many of you asked for some kind of preview we created one. You can see a dump down version of your current model, ready in a few seconds. It still a little buggy, the pose in particular but it just to know what you think of it (in a sense it's a preview of the preview).

Right now the preview opens a new window each time. Do you prefer that way, so you can compare several different models or should we insert it in the main page instead ?


We also added the possibility to share pictures of your creations. Just save the model (you need to be logged in), select the model and clic on the ''share'' button. You will get an URL for the image.



You also get some code to embed the ''spinning model'', just like a youtube video (I can't make it work here, probably HTML is not allowed).
The last field is the ID of the model (qr for this one), so others can load the model. If they want to see the equipment of the model they just have to click on the return button.

Finally we also add some poses and pieces of equipment. We did most of the tuning so we will create new elements faster now.

Please help us by taking time to ''like'' or ''follow'' us. If you just want to be informed of the next major developments register on our website so we can send you our newsletters.

I just had a play around with it, and I think it's fantastic. If the models live up to expectation, you may have just hit a goldmine of miniature goodness

Hope to buy from you in the future

Edit: Oh, what's being added in the way of sci-fi? It's a tad picky, but I'd love to see more sci fi cc weapons - something like Raiden's sword in Metal Gear Rising would be beyond awesome

It seems as though the website is down, at the moment, regrettably.

EDIT:

Never mind; odd.

Hmm... Just tried it and whenever I select an option it just gives me a 404 error... Not sure what's going on there.

It's working fine for me Rap... maybe its a cache thing? IDK, clutching at straws here...

Futuristic close combat weapons are indeed a must and we will definitely add a few (at least), stay tuned!

RaptorsTallon wrote:Hmm... Just tried it and whenever I select an option it just gives me a 404 error... Not sure what's going on there.

A 404 error is strange, can you copy/paste the link that return this error ? Or maybe describe the option ?

Not sure whether it's worth mentioning, the trench coats appear to clip through the model at certain points. Not sure if it would turn up in the models.

A new update is on line !

A couple of bug have been fixed and we have added new elements :

 BlapBlapBlap wrote:

We fixed a few poses with that kind of problem. When clipping occurs on the rendering it will be on the printed model but you problably won't notice it except in the most extreme cases. On the printed model you don't have the shadow line around the clipping part you have in the rendered images, you just see a bump in a trenchcoat which is only natural.

I would be really cool if we could print only a part like a head model to make our own conversion.

What an awesome project!

Sweet, gonna try the new bits out soon as possible.

Eloniel wrote:

It will be done at some point, but I don't know when. Probably the next major update will be female models (hopefully before the end of the month), maybe spare parts will come after that. It depends on many things, including feedbacks.

We can do maaaany things, but our ressources are veeeery limited, so if you reeeeally want something be vocal about it.

Bulkier Sci fi armour. That is my one wish.

Ok, and sexy female armour. Because who doesn't want that?

edit: Loving the new stuff by the way

Edit 2: Oh, I noticed that on a few of the poses with the Mobile Cannon and the Sci-fi assault rifle, the left hand doesn't connect to the gun properly in the preview.

A new update is here !

We add a lot of new items


The biggest change is the possibility to choose a symbols/blazons after a request on another forum.



The most important thing is that our most generous backers on the upcoming kickstarter campaign will be able to send us an image of any symbol of their choosing and we will add it to our system !

For the preview it's not a bug. The preview is ment to be quick and dirty so we skipped some steps. We can make it less dirty of course, but it will be less quick.

This small update was about fantasy items, I guess we will have bulky sci fi armours in the next. But I don't think it will look like a space marine if this is what you want. The main problem is that space marine miniatures have strange body proportions and we are somewhat dependant on those proportions. We will probably mimic the style (round, rigid armour with big shin protections) at some point, with the difference that you will be able to fit a guy in it.

And for sexy female armours, they are definitely on our TODO list. You will see at least some before we launch our kickstarter campaign (I have noticed that kickstarters showing some female cleavages and midriffs have strangely more backers. Sex sells, who would have known ?).

I get what you mean about the preview, so that's all fair enough.

You say Space Marine armour... Well, I wasn't really thinking in that region (after all, it's not like there aren't 1000 Space marine kits already ), I was thinking something a bit closer to, say, Tau armour. Somewhere between PA and carapace armour (size wise, that is.) Think Halo Spartans

Anyway, always awesome to have new stuff to try out

ETA on when I can buy something I build?

Oh, tau armor, ok. My English failed me (not my mother tongue), in my mind "bulky" didn't define a tau armor. It shouldn't be a problem. I guess you will see a couple in the next update, although is not the kind of army we are working on right now.


For the ETA... well, forecast is not my strong suit but I may try. Let say 2 months before the kickstarter campaign and in six months we will be able to print. Then, the backers will be able to create/order their models and once it's done, maybe 3-4 months later, anyone will be able to buy our products.

So, 6 months if you are a backer, 9 if you aren't.

Neat. One bug I picked up - the kneeling pose has the back of the foot clip through the coat if you go for the trenchcoat torso.

Thanks, the bug will be fixed in the next update.

A little preview on one of our new armours, is it bulky enough ?

Love it

That'd be great for some Dead Space minis.

This is truly, truly, amazing. Might I ask if you have an actual final project to show, not just 3D images?

Very interesting, will keep track of this

 Noremac wrote:

Well, we ordered a print of one of our model for internal testing but because of a little misunderstanding the scale is not right, it should be about 20% smaller. Also, the 3D printer is not exactly the same we intend to use but it's the same precision (0.05mm).

That said, it can still give you a rough idea of the final result.

Looks nice. The material is interesting for sure. Never really used a 3D printer myself so I don't know the logistics of it all.

Interesting idea!

A new update is on the servers !

We changed the way the symbols are dealed with internally, it should looks better an being more versatile.
We improved the building speed of the model. It is faster, especially when holding a 2 handed weapon.
We add a drop down list to select a period for the equipment (fantasy, science fiction...)
Lots of tuning and tests for various additions (pony tail, long beard,...). Hopefully now we know enough to add new body types without too much surprise (female body should coming next)

And of course, we add new elements.




As you can see we added the (requested) bulky armour along with several others.

It took longer than expected because we did some polishing before starting a new body. We have started working on the female body.

Please give us feedback !

Nice! The new bulky sci-f armor and the headwraps/hoods look really good.
How long 'till we can order the figures we've created?

~Tim?

Wow , this is such an awesome idea, I love it.

I just made a helmeted axe weilding psycho from the future ( looked very judge dredd style) in 3 minutes. One request I have is wimminz , I'd love to have the option of female miniatures (maybe I just missed it) I'd probably make and buy a gang for necromunda off you guys.

Yeah, female minis should be coming next update, which has me far more excited than it probably should.

I'll get to trying all the new stuff and feeding back when I have a free moment - really looking forward to it though

It looks good.
A couple of other things would be nice to see:
Some more bionics for the arms, legs, etc and a bike riding pose.

Other than that good stuff

No, you didn't miss the option for the female miniature because it's not there yet, but it's incoming ! Obviously you're not the only one waiting for it.


Please share any comment request you might have !

This is looking amazing. PM sent.

Just to show you some armours we are working on


and an armour requested here (iirc)


We haven't done the sexy armours yet but don't worry they are not forgotten.

prices seem a bit steep if you want to use them for a big war-game like 40k but otherwise pretty cool.

lehcym wrote:

Then please, forget them. Seriously, the market is already oversaturated with sexy female figures. We really, really don't need more. Frankly, the female armor you've shown already is fairly sexed up. Could you, at the very least, make some vaguely realistic armor for the females, and possibly a second, more realistic female body template? I'd love that, since there's a real shortage of realistically armored/proportioned female figures. Always nice to have lots of choices...

Just my thoughts, anyways.

~Tim?

You'll probably make a killing if you provided a chest armor option that wasn't individual boob plate, but instead was a solid curved piece, at the very least.

I actually agree here. Mirror the variety available in the Male sculpts and it'll be fantastically awesome - even more so than it is now.

Can we order from the site already? I have a few dollars I'd be willing to throw your way, to test the waters.

Been messing around with it and I'm loving it. Can't wait to be able to buy some of them!

For the record, I would be pleased with both realistic female armor and chainmail bikinis.

I've had some trouble with 3D printed models(WoW specifically was a complete waste of money and time for me); what kind of prep work do you expect for these models to get them table ready? Anything besides glue/primer/paint?

I would love to see something like this for Mechs and tanks. I think there could be a big market for that.

Maybe the market is oversaturated with sexy female figures, or maybe it's the proof that's exactly what people want. And according to the kickstarter successes of companies like Kingdomdeath or Raging Heroes my bet would be on the later. Of course nothing is sure, that's why we will do both covering and revealling clothes, to see what people prefer. Maybe people are indeed tired of bulletproof cleavages but to be honest I would be very surprised if we discover that sex doesn't sell after all.

I can understand that you don't like the oversexualization of women but our goal is not to fight stereotypes or to bring balance to the world, our goal is to provide our users (and hopefully soon customers) what they are willing to spend their hard earned money on.

It's doable. In fact I believe it's already been done but it's not my job so I'm not sure (I can't ask since it's sunday).

When printed, the models need a support for the overhanging parts. Look at those pictures (not from us)

You can see a ring, a cannon and its wagon. Under the cannon and the wagon you have the supports needed to print them. To save handling and minimize the risk of breaking during the shipping we will send the models with the support, meaning you will have to remove it.

Just a note, here the wagon is upside down but we won't do that. We will print the model standing on their feet, meaning the small imperfections left from the supports once you removed it will be beneath the model, making them less visible.

Another thing, the pictures are from a DLP 3D printer at 50µm. We are not sure if we'll use exactly that printer but we will use printers with the same technology and precision, so it gives you an idea of the final result.

Mathieu Raymond wrote:Can we order from the site already? I have a few dollars I'd be willing to throw your way, to test the waters.

Not yet unfortunately, we still lack the production capacity (mostly the printers). It's the main reason we will run a kickstarter/indiegogo campaign.

Mattlov wrote:I would love to see something like this for Mechs and tanks. I think there could be a big market for that.

From a software point of view, we could add almost any kind of model to the website, the only thing we can't really do yet are models with more than one customizable entity (a rider and his steed for example). The problem for tanks would be to actually print the 3D models for a reasonnable cost. Currently I don't think that condition could be meet for anything bigger than a WH40K dreadnought.

Nicely done.

Is there any chance you could add "rider" poses, for models on horses or other animals, and perhaps sitting in vehicles (driver, riding, shooting while seated)?

Also, samurai-style armor (historical, fantasy and futuristic/mecha) would be helpful

Can't say I like what you're saying, though I get where you're coming from - gotta move stock. Too bad you have to stoop low to do so, though I guess that says more about the wargaming demographic than it does you all.

At the very least it would be great if you could provide a wide variety of realistic, non-sexualized armor for your female figures. I'd kill for some post-Apoc wastelander stuff, both for men and women.

Any change of some snipers, both ballistic and energy snipers? I would love to buy some just to own as so far everything looks amazing!

EDIT: Also I would love some female armour for futuristic settings that looks like normal human armour, instead of boobs in the armour just like a curved chest area to compensate for the fact females have got boobs but done in such a way it looks...realistic (even though its for a futuristic setting)

EDIT 2: It would also be awesome if we could have gadgets, like trackers or radars or scanners, so like I could make a aquad of people like futuristic scavengers, searching the wreckage for salvage

Really 4-8 Euro each? Isn't that a bit steep?

If you're buying in bulk, yeah. I think it's reasonable for single model builds though - look at GW for example. even back in the day of blisters you'd go ~£10 for a single model.

I think it's reasonable, considering you're literally designing your own bespoke model here.

We indeed need more special weapons (sniper rifle, flamethrower,...) and gadgets, we will look into that, maybe when we are done with the minimal stuff for the female model (a few clothes, some poses and adapting the weapons from the male model).

For the armour with a curved chest we did a variant of a previous one:

Nothing is certain yet but the price should be more between 4 and 6€ rather than 4 and 8€. Maybe 4-5€ for the backers of the upcoming kickstarter/indiegogo campaign and 5-6€ for the "real" price.

Note that those prices are with VAT. If you are outside the E.U. We will remove our French VAT and the shipper is supposed to ask you for the VAT of your country (but I'm not sure if they do it for such low value). French VAT is 20% so you have to remove 16.66% (because 1€ + 20% = 1.20€ and 1.20€ - 16.66% = 1€).

More importantly, we have high fixed costs (the website), so our cost by model (and hence our price) highly depends on our success. That means that we can have stretch goals that will reduce the price, something like -0.10€ for each 100.000€ of funding. I'm not saying it will be exactly that but it gives you an idea.

So if you are interested in our project but want a better price just talk about us! Spread the word!

Count one more extremely interested potential customer here.

i see me using this service as a cheap proto-type service to master minis that I'll cast myself or outsource if I need enough of them.

The female models are here (finally) !!!

Sorry for the delay, it was a lot longer than expected, we couldn't reuse as much from the male model than we initially hoped and the female body brought several specific problems. We had to find a system for high heels, for better haircuts with hats, for breasts and we also spend a lot of time to define a beautiful standard.

I know some people here think female models are often too sexualized, on the other hand obviously it sells very well, which means a lot of people like it. I can only hope that we have found a way to satisfy both sides of the spectrum.


We focused on adding new armors/clothes and converting equipments from the male model (weapons and helmet mostly), so there is fewer choices in other locations.

The main difference with the male model is that the body choices also include underwear or tight suits to be worn beneath the “real” armors/clothes, since those armors/clothes sometimes tend to be revealing. There is also no possibility to add stuff like grenades, pockets on the torso like the male model for obvious reasons.

We add a new way to have hair and a hat, you can see it with the officer hat and the facial masks, there is only a couple of haircuts tough.

A couple of choices are not there yet, mostly on the head (you can't add goggles yet for instance) and the choice of poses is currently at its bare minimum, so some combinations might lack a matching pose.


We also had to change the way model IDs are encrypted (you can find it in “my models”, “share”, it's used to share a model you created with others). It turned out that the package we used to encrypt those IDs didn't always know how to decrypt them, which kind of defeat the purpose. So if you shared an ID, displayed an URL or a link to a spinning model they all changed, sorry for the inconvenience.

Looks awesome!! Any chance for some more Sci-fi oriented armours soon though?

Just saw this on the FB feed as well, will definitely be trying the new stuff out as soon as I can.

Hum, the absence of sci-fi armor is an oversight on our part. The modeler who did the armors prefers to work on medieval equipments so he started working on that and we simply forget about more futuristic armors.

We will definitively add sci-fi armors, maybe in September.

Don't hesitate to tell us what you think is missing, I can't guaranty we *will* do it but we will at least think about it.

Well I still love your site, and do plan to eventually purchase at least 10 of the models I have made on your site eventually, but I would like to be able to add some sci-fi female BAMFS to my squad of sci fi make BAMFS I already wanna buy so I look forward eargly to september

Just a couple of thoughts from me, having played around with this more today.

More sci-fi stuff. Right now it's workable, but there's a lot of room for variety and so on.

Have you guys considered doing some anime style bits? I think there's some really good potential there.

More hair variety would be nice for both genders. I think some younger looking faces would be a good addition too.

Psychic/ magicy stuff would be cool to see too.

I'm still loving this, and it's only getting better with each update. When this launches, I will absolutely be buying from you guys.

I am REALLY REALLY liking what i am seeing.

Now here is some feedback

1- The designer is a bit awkward to use, i would advice to add labels to the parts of the main "model" prior to actually selecting the item you want.
2- We really need to have the models preview compared against the shadow of the core games minis, being "realistic" they can be really off when standing next to a gaming or heroic mini.
3- A feature to "Distort" body proportions to match those of other gaming companies would be awesome.

If this works out, i could definitely see my self ordering batches of say 5 troopers to design my custom masters for my infantry block, casting them in resin is trivial.

What do you mean by anime style bits ? Could you show some pictures maybe ?

1. We will probably add a tooltip in the selection list, it will display the name of the items when you hover over their thumbnails.

2. We will add some pictures once we have a few printed models and we indented to show at least one photo with other companies' models. However I don't see the point of adding a shadow in the preview or in any 3D views, especially since at some point you will probably be able to change the scale. We have created the 3D models with 28mm in mind but from a software point of view we could easily switch to another scale, 54mm for inquisitor for example (we had some requests about that). The only reason we don't really talk about it is because we are unsure if the printing will be cost effective, at least at the beginning.

3. It's not possible to do that with our software without a massive overhaul, and even if it were we probably won't add distorts that allow you to make models that look exactly like other company's models, it's a way to avoid IP trouble.

If you dont offer the same model distorting it would not make a difference the problem is that hte torso size of a heroic model or the hand sizes or the weapon sizes are really different when compared to historical or realistic once, thats what we would like to compare or change.
