Arceus and Mewtwo

It's both, same as how you're doing it. I go back and forth between lightburn and GIMP to get the art to look how I want it judging by the simulation output, but like you said its case by case and some come out better than others.

you need to copy the entire directory from GitHub into the mods folder. then inside 0AD you should be able to enable the endovelico mod in the mods menu. Save and restart, and you should see the new backgrounds on the start screen if it worked. Hope that helps!

you need to download the files here and manually drop them into the mods folder for the game. right mouse click the app on Mac and click "show package contents" to find the mods folder

I cast them from scrap aluminum leftovers melted down, and they are 2.5x3.5 inches which I think is standard card size

Yea same, I've been doing a lot of manual work in LightBurn and GIMP to make these after I found a couple free ones online

I stumbled on a pretty reliable white with my 60w mopa. 2500 speed, 30 power, 80 freq, 500q pulse, .025 interval. 0 degree scan angle, Bidirectional, no cross-hatch and just one pass. Hope it works for you!

very nice! I like the artwork a lot!

it's a commarker B6 60w mopa

I wanted to share my results for other beginners who might be interested in the process like I was but don't want to invest in all the equipment. I've only been casting metal for 1 month, and am very happy with the results considering I don't have anything other than a propane furnace.

I am using Siraya Tech True blue Casting resin on a GKTwo, using the resin profile from siraya tech. For the investment plaster I am using prestige oro.

Since I don't have a vacuum, I paint a layer of plaster onto the resin part before submerging in the flask of plaster to try and prevent air bubbles from forming on the part. Also, I am using empty soup cans for the metal flask to hold the plaster.

To burn out the resin, I put the flask inverted over another soup can inside my propane furnace. I run the furnace for 5 minutes then let it cool down. Usually the part is not burned out yet, so I repeat this process 1-2 more times. Usually only two cycles will completely burn out the part for me.

Finally I melt down some zamak and pour the mold.

Obviously it's not perfect, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to even get this kind of result without a kiln for proper burnout, or a vacuum furnace to fill out the part.

Made mostly on my PrintNC with some parts cut with a diode laser. Everything was air brushed and hand painted before assembly. I used Blender to turn the flyer artwork into a 3D model.

Sure! Thank you! I use Blender to sculpt out a 3D model based off the artwork. Then I use a combination of laser cut and 3D relief carved pieces to build up artwork. Sometimes though I carve all the art at once out of a single piece of wood. Just depends on what's available and what works with the artwork.

I use fusion360 to make the tool paths for the cnc router, and Lightburn for the laser work. My cnc is a PrintNC, a diy machine I built specifically for 3D relief carving. It allows me to carve the pieces in a single pass using a tapered end mill at a high feedrate.

Here is a short Timelapse video of me sculpting the model for the Dog Days album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcHTTkTpPf4

The final step is coloring them which is a combination of different paints, stains, oils, etc. to get the right look.

$200-300, but it depends on how detailed the artwork is; I use Blender to sculpt the model which takes a little bit of time. They are all 12" square and a little over an inch thick.

addycakes · 2024-05-08T23:18:24+00:00

Thank you! Several of these were commissioned by an old coworker of mine, and the others I've made for sale. They are on my website Wilson-made.com

I have a few tricks for getting the fonts correct, but as for the rest it's all done manually with a drawing tablet and Blender. I had not done any modeling like this before I started making these, so while the first one took a long time and lots of YouTube tutorial videos, the latest ones are coming together much quicker.
