I am hoping to create a relationship with someone who can handle this task in a regular basis for my business. I have a single reference photo of an athlete mid-action (and supporting photos for facial features and other photos in uniform for reference) and I need a faithful, print-ready 3D recreation. The figure must capture the exact pose shown in the picture—no improvisation on posture, limb angles, or facial expression. I’m looking for high detail, including recognizable facial features and carefully sculpted clothing folds, so the model feels lifelike even after FDM printing. You’ll receive the photos as soon as we start; feel free to ask for additional close-ups if they help you nail the likeness. I typically print on an FDM machine, so wall thickness, overhangs, and part orientation have to be considered from the outset. Think clean topology, watertight geometry, and no non-manifold edges. If separate pieces make the print more reliable, that’s perfectly fine—just keep assembly straightforward. Deliverables • High-resolution source file (.blend, .zpr, or similar) • Final, watertight STL ready for FDM slicing • Any texture maps you create, this can be printed in preferably up to 7 color with a maximum of 24 • A quick screenshot or turntable video to confirm likeness before final export Acceptance criteria • Pose matches the reference photo precisely • Facial features and clothing details are clearly defined at FDM scale • Model passes an automatic mesh check in Cura or PrusaSlicer without repair If you’ve handled photo-based character sculpts for 3D printing before, this will be right up your alley. Let me know your expected turnaround and any questions you have about scale or print parameters, and we can get started right away
