This file is literally a 3D scan of the individual parts that make up the warlord titan from FW. My job involves the use of both 3D printers and scanners, so I have a little knowledge of them, and the detail you can achieve by merely hand scanning an object is insane. I imagine each part was put onto a revolving turn table and allowed to be slowly and meticulously scanned for the best possible render.

So unless Im very wrong, the "creator" didn't really do anything more than purchase a titan and scan it, then release the file.

Well, if that is the case, that's how it be. Hence the "unless im very wrong" statement. At first glance it looks like a scan, which I guess is credit to the creator's work.


I work at a custom slot car track company, so the vast majority of my job is making buildings and stuff from scratch. We just have a few Form 2 printers and a pretty badass scanner, and having seen what the latter can do I could easily see scanning a Warlord with very high quality results. (We use it to scan cars, minis, and buildings for replication) Although I think the scanner we have is upwards of 5k. Not sure.

Id like to think i'm very good at my job thank you very much, but I'm unsure why that would even concern you seeing as my comment was in no way meant in a negative manner.
