Liney, do you use a paintbrush stroke for your designs? I have been using the pen or pencil tool in Adobe Illustrator when making my decals and they always come off thin and flat looking. I tried switching to paintbrush, but the strokes were way too big and I could not find a way to make them small enough. I will have to look into a tutorial on how to make them smaller (if possible).

Who's rogues gallery would they belong to?

Let me know if that Stick Minimate is available that you are not keeping. He would fit in good with my Daredevil comic Minimates.

I have always wondered what was keeping Minimates out of stores like Walmart and Target (except for their-blink-and you-will-miss-it short run they had). Surely there is more appeal in Marvel Minimates than in Skibidi Toilet toys that I see at Walmart just sitting on the pegs. Distribution seemed to be a big hurdle for them over the years. I wonder if they would do better these days if they tried again to get them into stores like Walmart and Target.

I have managed to make the head and torso and they work perfectly with official Minimate parts. The arms are next on my list. I have it started, but I know the elbow joint is going to be a pain. I was actually looking to see if there is a different sort of joint that would work well if I were to make an extra large sized Minimate. I want it to still look like a Minimate at the elbow joint though. Any engineers out there that may have any ideas?

I would have loved those Tomb Raider Minimates. I wasn't a fan of the other Minimates based on games (Jak and Daxter, etc). I never played them so that is probably why. I played and beat almost every Tomb Raider game though and loved the mates that were released for them.

WindSHIELD IPA (Which I am not a fan of). I have no idea why they are so popular in the U.S. IPA.avif

This movie did quite a bit of cool things to expand the Predator universe and lore, but was also sometimes just goofy and just not very serious at times. Elle was great in the parts she played, but she didnt behave like any other synth in the other movies. She acted like a teenager through most of it. The little alien sidekick was unnecessary in my opinion also. My only other real complaint was his design. They made him too human looking in my opinion. Having his dreads on top of his head and pulled back was one reason for that. His father looked bad ass though and closer to the Yautja look that we all love, The language they came up for the Yautja was fantastic. The main storyline of him going off to prove himself was also great. The planet he went to was nothing but danger at every step and it was fun watching him deal with the unknown. The fight/action scenes were very well done also. There was enough new things in the movie for me to enjoy it. It definitely was better than The Predator. I had high hopes for that movie and was severely disappointed.

I have been looking at UV printers for a while now. This video actually shows what they are capable of. No more decals needed anymore. Now if only I had an extra $1700 laying around.

I would love to see a Tattoo and Mr. Roarke Minimate after watching this season of South Park. Little J.D. Vance is the best part of South Park this season.

Thank you for your help. It looks like it is going to take me a while to learn what I need, but I have plenty of down time at work this time of year so I will keep up with watching Blender tutorials. With the boolean modifier can I sculpt right to the head of a minimate that I have in blender, and then when I am done with the sculpted hairpiece just remove the head and be left with a perfect shaped Minimate hairpiece that I can then print?

Cylonchaney, what program are you using to design your minimate parts: hairpiece, parts for chest, arms, legs, etc. I have been watching Blender tutorials and am working on the donut one. I have been able to measure and get the dimensions to create the head and chest piece for Minimates. Im just wondering if there is an easier program to use to sculpt hair and other parts for Minimates. You can do so much stuff in Blender, You can do everything from sculpting to animation, but 90% of it will not be needed to make Minimate parts. Surely there is something more simple that focuses more on sculpting.

It looks like you can use your phone now for 3d scanning. Here is a great video looking at different 3D scanning app.

I gotta go with Marvel vs Capcom Doom. Best of Doom is great too, but overall I think the MvC Doom is just a little better.
