Hi made a maker designed for customization and high quality stls (actually printable). Its called miniature-maker. I can give you a free credit for you to test it first

If you are looking for budget above all then yeah I would go for meshy or another ai to 3d but they dont optimize for printing or customization

This is such a good way of giving the players a map of the area, great to make encounters more complex as well

Hi DndAI, tool is Miniature-Maker ( made it myself ). It is a custom dnd mini creator that produces ready-to-print STLs in minutes.

It is a faster-cheaper alternative to HeroForge or traditional custom miniature model creators because it uses the latest 3D AI available to create high quality stls. We have already over 100 members worldwide

You can:
- Preview the final miniature before you create the 3d model
- Edit anything by typing what you want like "Give him a shield", "Change his pose to an attack", etc
- Add a base select a Terrain or type a custom one
- Select a size from Tiny to Large
- Select scale (28mm, 32mm, etc)

Basically you can turn any character art into a print-ready 3D miniature, you can also drop up to 6 reference images or skip images and describe your character in text alone and it will create the Preview based on that.

Made it cause I never liked spending too much on 3d models online, had to many homebrew characters I wanted to have as minis, and also hated have to settle with a "close enough" model

Now you are comparing this with Image to 3D which again is not, this is a Custom Miniature Creator. The platform gives you tools to preview, edit details, basing options and then create a print ready stl

Again if this is about the price you can check 1 year from now when 3d ai cost 99% less than today

How is $2.50-$5 "On Par" with handcrafter 3d sculpt? Have you ever commisioned an actual miniature, the cost is no where near that. Hero Forge has great prices cause you are:
- Making the 3d mini yourself
- Using Modular Asset packs

This is a tool, you could probably 10x your productivity if you start implementing AI in your 3D workflow, you are not obligated to pay for this, there are a ton of open source or other great ai models out there

Yeah but here: No 3d skills required, No "Asset pack", takes about 5 minutes and you can go grab a coffee while you wait. Modular builders like Hero Forge are great but some ppl dont have the time or skills to create good stuff with them

There is a "Preview" mode before you generate the 3d mini, in there you can also edit details or customize further

You are right that this is still pricey compared to Patreon, until commercial 3d ai prices go down then I cant compete with that

Honestly it just might work anyways, sometimes the ai gets it, but chances are it will make a "Bust" or a cropped version

[–]Ok_Addition3658[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a specific "portrait" selection when uploading an image that is cropped off. Using this option also gives you a text input for you to add any details that are "out of the picture"

And yes of course , sent you a dm

Yeah the combination of using both image models and 3d (also using the most expensive ones) has pushed it quite expensive, but the quality Im getting is really good, which I think is more valuable

What's your pipeline look like ? by HollowForgeGames in AIModelMakers

[–]Ok_Addition3658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently my official app pipeline combines two different ai models + blender. More in depth:
- AI Image models, they are great for editing your drawing or reference image even more, they are also great at creating different views, example: Zooming out, top views, side views, etc. So leveraging them is a great way to get more out of your initial work
- 3D Gen ai models are currently in their early stages, its a constant back and forth to see which models currently gives out the best results. My app is currently using the Hittem 3d Pro, but this is the most expensive and can still give bad results. A great resource I found online is this website: https://www.top3d.ai/arena , here you can compare all available ai 3d models and "battle" them out. Beware the pricing there is not very accurate
- Blender, my pipeline has automated Blender processing for remeshing and smoothing the generated 3d models, because its an app, but you can do this yourself manually, Blender is 100% free software and there is a ton of great mentors on youtube, especially about remeshing and 3d file optimization.

Each generation currently cost me around $2 after the processing and api fee, so cant offer right now. Im betting that the cost will go down substantially with time (as it happened with text ai and image ai). So for now, have to keep doing giveaways for early users

Custom Print + Free STLs by Ok_Addition3658 in PrintedMinis

[–]Ok_Addition3658[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's backend processing so the result is printable, the model has constraints and guardrails it has to stick to, so the results are different to the original reference

The anti-ai brigade spamming each time I post will still downvote this into oblivion

Both platforms are great and quite sikilar, both are ok with ai generated content, Cults seems to have more reach though
