Hello all:
A question to the community...
I recognize that it's considered to be an inappropriate practice to resell a 3D print of a model that was designed by someone else. That makes perfect sense to me.
But the finishing and weathering process of a 3D print can be a really big job of its own. Between the gluing, sanding, filling, painting, and weathering of a 3D print to make it look like the actual movie prop, a lot of skill is applied after the print itself. Is it still considered to be a "faux pas" to resell a fully finished prop version of someone else's model at that point, if I'm doing all that finishing work?
What's your take?
Thanks!
