Are you sure it is not because you use to work on DOS 3.0 which feels like Ancient times :cool:
It WAS ancient times! It was in the past millennium! :ROFLMAO:
Now try to do a division in Roman Numerals (no cheating converting them to Arab Numerals) without an abacus and praise those Roman engineers and architects!
People in the future will praise us DOS 3.0, UNIX, and Novell workers when they forget how to deal with a computer without a graphic interface.

Daz is a bit of a milker when it comes to 3D printing. Each asset needs its license. 12 girls, 12 bikinis, 12 hairstyles. The cheapest license, when not in sale, is $1.99, so we are talking about $72 in licenses to 3D print that image (up to 20 times). Then you should add the printing cost, which I do not know, and even the printer if someone wants to do it commercially and (as it's my case) doesn't own one.
The best idea to get a good result would be to print it in a neutral color and handpaint it, and that would add even more cost and, especially, time. And someone who knows how to paint. It's been years since I painted a Warhammer figurine, and my skill couldn't be considered pro-level even then.
The figures should be adapted to 3D printing (even more time) to avoid the problems you named with hair and fishnet.

So, yes, that would be a nice feature to have, but I never would try to do it commercially. The final cost of each printed item would be too high to have any success, would take a lot of time I would need to take from development, and no one can be sure the final product would have the quality needed to be commercialized.

I guess that's why no one is doing it in the AVNverse. The more "fancy" items I've seen out there for AVNs have been T-shirts and mugs, and I think it wasn't a success. Most people who would purchase them have the PS skills to extract their favorite image from the game and print a mug online.
can you do this with VAM Virt-a-Mate ? (3D Printing without licensing restrictions)

No idea. I haven't worked with VAM ever, sorry.
no one should be fucked over by restrictions like those & if its only loading your assets into VAM & printing it should be a small learning curve (i am not a 3D software user)
i do know you can load DAZ assets into VAM

You can load Daz assets into Blender and 3D print from there too (you can't from Daz). It's called piracy.
Yeah, yeah. I know. We are in a pirate forum and blah blah blah
I'm sorry, but if I purchase every one of the Daz assets I use (I could get most of them from pirate sites, but I don't) it means I am running this as legally as possible. I won't use technical tricks (or outright piracy) to circumvent a license.

My first job was DOS 3, Vax/VMS and whatever OS comes on a PDP-11/70. We didn't have any machines running it, but I learned a LOT from a DOS 1.0 manual that was still kicking around my office - stuff that they stopped putting in the documentation for non-devs so as not to frighten them away. :)

I for one would be interested in the Photo Results if you do post a Photo just to see how it would look like. :unsure:(y)
Well... as expected, the hair is a complete disaster. It almost caused some failures for the face or the whole head, but in the end the print finished without failing. But as the hair is very brittle, it started to break down as soon as I removed the support.

So here are two photos of Erika's figurine. The model was printed standing up (with supports) but I laid it down for the photo.
Erika_red_pla_18cm_front.jpg
Erika_red_pla_18cm_back.jpg
You can see that the hair is a mess: some parts broke down and fell off. There is also a problem with the right elbow. I guess that the supports moved a bit during printing, which caused a part of the elbow to be printed incorrectly. This would probably not happen again if I would reprint it.

Overall the results are not too bad, considering that I used the medium quality settings and a relatively cheap filament. At least the bikini is visible. But the problems with the hair caused a slight quality degradation of the face, so it is difficult to tell that this figure is Erika.

Also, the lighting conditions are rather bad. Maybe I will try again in a few hours when there is some daylight.

I am printing another test now with the same model lying down. I scaled it up a bit so that Erika would be 27 cm tall. I will see if it prints better, but I expect that the hair will also fail.

I know filament printers have gotten better, but wouldn't resin be better for something like this?
Resin would certainly provide a better quality. However, very few resin printers would be able to print a 27 cm model. Most resin printers cannot even fit an object that is half that size. Also, PLA is a bit easier to paint. And resin is more expensive.

in the model world gluing things together isn't unheard of, right? I'd imagine you could glue them together from multiple chunks, the paint is another issue entirely though.

maybe start a new thread, the mods are going to be pissed that they have to delete all these offtopic posts

Special Render (L) - Alexia - Free Version
Continuing the Valentine's theme, some people like a jacuzzi full of flowers. With that Jacuzzi, neither flowers, champagne, nor even water are necessary.
Alexia is the only gift I need for Valentine's Day. She is more intoxicating than champagne, refreshing than water, and beautiful than flowers.
Enjoy the Full HD render (4K for subscribers).

Mine can do 16cm in height but usually you print them at around a 45 degree angle which means i can use around 22cm in height.

This works very well, yes. It's very common at least with resin printers.


Maybe it's time to dust of mine and print a big model of The Queen......

i have downloaded the game but its all black when i opened the game for some reason
Care to describe the steps you took?

- What did you download? - Name of the file please.
- What did you do with it? - Extracted? Run straight from the zip?
- What, if any, error shows up? - Any messages?
- If you see a Menu, where did you click?

Thanks.

Peace :)
