Thank you sooo much for sharing this! I haven't even finished the video yet but I just started 3d sculpting and I wanted to preview my sculpt in one of those 3d printer softwares but every single time I imported my STL it would show up weirdly flipped. I'm sculpting a lizard and, following Zbrush's camera, he looks like he's perfectly fine and flat on the floor. When I export and import him to somewhere else he's suddenly standing up using the tip of his tail. So frustrating!!! I spent 3 hours this morning trying to figure the rotation out. I know I could just rotate it myself on the 3d print software but I want it to load perfectly aligned and ready to print, goddang it. And all the videos I watched on the topic had people rotating it after import... So much time wasted! Than you for the 90 degrees tip! Lizard looks perfectly fine now aside from the critical need of improvement modeling wise. lol
Wow! Thank you very much Good man!. It's amazing how hard is to find this kind of info Online. Invaluable! Really appreciate you took the time to share the knowledge!
Thanks for that video mate! I was looking for a video like that, it's right on point. I just started sculpting on zbrush and had these questions from day 1. Awesome work on your sculpt!
For printing in SLA or PLA, one solid mesh is optional. The slicers will not fail if meshes are inserted into one another. Combining the mesh into a solid piece is mainly for optimization, reducing file size and retaining details. With zero wasted surfaces, getting the most detail in under 750k points. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
@@AlexKolakowski in my wflow I use to make solid as single mesh and printing in my PLA machine, however I shared a model with a friend who have a resin printer and works aswell, so I started to ask some stuff for improve my wflow, but I think I am ok for now. for miniatures to keep detail a good amount of poly arounds btw 700 K to 1 million?? thx :D
Hello! I have a question for you, does the angle of view in zbrush affects the final look of the 3D printed sculpture? For example if I use a 28 angle of view... when I print it would it look more or less the way it looks in zbrush? Thank you
Angle of view only affects the camera. Most slicers are probably equivalent to an angle 85 or 50 in zbrush so I would leave it to default so you are not surprised by the print👍
I cut these parts just to make it easier to print on my FDM machine at the time. Not at all necessary to list an item. Most people prefer to have the character and base uploaded and supported for resin separately though.
Hello! I've been an 3D Artist for a couple years but just now decided to start making models for minuature as a hobby. I'm new to the 3D printing process and that's why I was watching this video. I've noticed that artists that make toys usually make them piece by piece and then they assemble it together. So would the process be similar in this case as well? You make the model and the base - and probably some plugs so they attach - and print them separately? If you can point me to any video or tutorial I would appraciate it. Thanks!
Ok Question. I did everything you said and exported my model to have 31 mm of height. But when I import the model into a slicer it suddenly has 50 mm height. I can't fix it. Could you help?
yeah, remember to delete the .stl before saving over, I think that is a bug from zbrush, you might be re importing the same model into the slicer over and over.... also, to validate, re import your .stl back into zbrush and click Update Size ratios in the 3d print hub and see what it says... if it changes to 50 mm you will have to re scale. Good Luck!
Are you sure? Chitubox displays details differently, especially if you are using a mat cap with cavity in zbrush. You can always export the stl f on chitu and then import it back into zbrush to compare details. I haven't seen details dissappear but it might just look more subtle
thank you for this, a friend and i are starting to do personalized figures, so i'll be coming here very often.

No problem, if you have any video topic request, please let me know.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad that it helped you out. Hope that your printing is going well.
Thank you. Straight to the point
These are great tips for miniature sculpting!
Keep up the good work!
Very nice and useful explanation
If i want to print size 75mm sir..?
I want to print 1/18 scale headsculpt. Please advise how to set the setting and i new to this. Thanks!
Great video
Thank you, happy printing!
Perfect. Thank you very much for this info. Super.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, me ha servido mucho. Gracias nuevamente.
One edit, If you're doing bases for Dnd 25mm or lower is the way to go. 28mm is slightly larger than an inch grid. Please keep this in mind :) cheers
Hellow , in resin workflow is necessary to make solid mesh? your model is for pla? without not make it solid or inflate a little? thx

@@AlexKolakowski oww thank you so much dear alex .....thanks alot :)))))
Is it important to cut your model into parts to sell it or can you sell it as one single mesh ?
I cut these parts just to make it easier to print on my FDM machine at the time. Not at all necessary to list an item. Most people prefer to have the character and base uploaded and supported for resin separately though.
Very nice video, I will use these tips, but can you tell the title of the music?
The track is called True Faith. My favorite track is black Coffee though!
Thanks a lot
You’re a legend bro. Thank you so much.
Not a problem, going to try to make more of these. Thanks for watching!
A tip: watch series on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Archer Chance yup, have been watching on Kaldrostream for since november myself =)
As a person into 3D printing miniatures, there's nothing I hate more than when artists attach a base to their characters

Want to ask sir..why when i apply my model to 3d printer my texture in the cloth gone..?help me..🙏
Which 3d printer are you using to print your figure?
@@tigerskullrpg5092 mars 2pro
When i export to 3d printer the detail gone..export chitubox the detail lost..
Cloth detail..lost in chitubox..😓
Are you sure? Chitubox displays details differently, especially if you are using a mat cap with cavity in zbrush. You can always export the stl f on chitu and then import it back into zbrush to compare details. I haven't seen details dissappear but it might just look more subtle
