From model to figure on the shelf

3d-o-mat now exports models for 3D printers, smooth and watertight, with figures put into a nice pose first.

Done

  • Upload pictures and cut them out automatically
  • Have pictures checked by Gemma
  • Have pictures painted from an idea, with three image models to choose from
  • Turn them into a textured 3D model with TRELLIS.2, view it in the browser and download it as GLB
  • Add a skeleton, with test moves in the browser and as animations in the GLB
  • New versions install themselves as soon as no job is running
  • The interface in English, with a switch and the browser's language as the default
  • Colour scheme light, dark or following the system, selectable and remembered
  • Print file as 3MF or STL, watertight, with a base and a height you choose
  • Ready-made poses such as “Relaxed” or “Wave”, fine-tuning bones and fists by hand
  • Describe a pose, and Gemma poses the figure
  • Test moves with more punch, a closed fist when striking, a roundhouse kick and a fall with gravity

In progress

  • Server messages and error texts in English too

Planned

  • Colour print files for printers with several filaments
  • A warning about parts too thin to print

A figure in a T-pose is handy for animation, but not a nice model for the shelf. So 3d-o-mat is getting a way to the 3D printer: you can put the figure into a pose, with ready-made poses, with sliders for every bone or with a sentence like “standing relaxed, right hand waving” that Gemma turns into joint angles. Then the pose is baked into the mesh, everything is merged into one watertight body and placed on a base. The result is a 3MF file for common slicers.

Only the shape is printed: whatever the model only painted into its texture, such as eyes or patterns, is missing from a single-colour print. The print file and the poses have been tried on a figure made in 3d-o-mat. Gemma gets a described pose only roughly right; the sliders let you fine-tune it afterwards. If the skeleton has fingers, the figure can also make fists.
