I've been using 3ds Max for nearly twenty years. I'm not so much worried about having payments as I need an excuse to my husband to be able to make those payments. I love Max and wouldn't want to give it up. It's just that my 2012 version was getting long-in-the-tooth, and the only option for the recent versions is the subscription (I was too late to upgrade my version before they did away with upgrades and went subscription-only.).zxant wrote:Blue Phase Music wrote:Thanks, GaryG!
I must admit that seeing that thread a while back gave me the initial idea, but I won't be making key chains, rather they'll be scale miniatures offered in higher-detailed plastic (I doubt most of my models will be appropriate for metal prints as many of the parts will be too small to be printed in metal, as you can see with the patch cable on that KORG key chain.
I also doubt I'll brand mine. They'll be presented as generic versions of famous synths.
I'll find out pretty quickly if there's any sustainable interest in a project like this. If not, I'll abandon it and go to the next thing.
I just need to come up with enough cash to pay for my software subscription. It's a hobby I've had for the last 18 years. I don't care if I make more than that (though it'd be nice.).
If you're worried about costs then why not use this? It's fully free and rather sophisticated!
It's been a hobby of mine for so long now, it's about time I actually make some money with it. Lord knows I've spent enough on it and will continue to do so.
Again, no big deal if people don't clamber all over miniature models of synths. So many more fish out there, but I like synths, and I like 3d printing, so I thought I'd combine the two.
