A few more pics of the Ceratosaurus skull

As my models a through a print service that's not my decision, don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Me neither, looks like it would make short work of humans :) Got the Ceratosaurus skull for sale - Ceratosaurus Skull by DinoReplicas Couple of examples I finished myself with acrylic...

Thanks. Few more photos, I'd better get painting.

A few more photos before I paint these, jaw articulation seems to work well. Both prints are nylon material, the white one is Selective laser sintering process and The grey is multi jet fusion.

Received my Ceratosaurus skull 3D prints Also got started on my new PC build. It's a fairlymodest spec, a 6 core AMD Ryzen 5 APU with 16Gb Ram. The old mechanical hard drive is temporary, got an M2 drive coming this weekend but I want to test this now. It should mean I can finally move on...

Blender's decimate modifier can get a couple of million polys down to a few hundred thousand without mangling the details. I don't go too fine with details anyway as they disappear in the print. Made the parts for the print version. This is just about ready now, going to try it at these...

This is how the connected mesh came out Too much happening last couple of weeks to do much with this but I managed to get back on it Wednesday night. Reckon I'm done with the sculpting part. Now for the next stage which is making ready for 3D print, so I'll need to make- poly reduced...

Viewed separately, the palette and brain-case section (green) looks like some kind of alien slug. Just need to get it joined to the cranium to complete the base mesh. The orange rings are a place holder for the jaw's pivot point.

Thanks. Might as well keep pushing this forward while I'm in the mood. Theropod teeth in Blender, a relaxing break from making the cranium. Apart from the profile shape the main thing is to make sure they are narrow. The solidify modifier is my quick and easy way to add thickness to the...

Some sculpt brush, a lot of push/pull with the grab tool and a couple of remeshes later Think I've got the shape roughly where I want it

To make the skull I'm going to employ the same 3-step process I used for the Mosasaurus and the Styracosaurus, it's a bit of an odd approach but I like it. freeform a 'scaffold sculpt' to form the basic shape construct a low poly mesh over the scaffold subdivide the low poly mesh and add...

This one's been brooding in the background for too long, time to get started on the 3D model. I'll put a few process pics up but not too many 'cause it slows me down. If anyone's interested in my methods there's a few threads on the Dinotoy Forum. T.rex W.I.P. Styracosaurus skull W.I.P...

Thanks! Yes it's really good. Decided to make another skull for 3D print. Mostly based on specimen MWC 1 with parts adapted from other Ceratosaurus fossils. I normally create these orthographic views traditionally with pencil and tracing paper, this time I drew it entirely digitally in Krita...

Haven't had many opportunities to do arty stuff this year, too much other stuff to do. Still need a new desktop PC at some point but I've had my scanner/printer in my old laptop so I managed to scan this the other day. In hindsight I'm not sure if I like Ceratosaurus with this spiky/crusty...
