This is a new dragon from the first fully rigged model I have ever

This is a new dragon from the first fully rigged model I have ever made. She was modeled in Blender. It’s been interesting because using rigged models is not simply a matter of pose and print. It was an enjoyable but challenging experience.

The STL can be found here:

Wow that looks great. Any tips for someone who just started using Blender?

Thanks and glad you like her!

Go to Blender Cookie and work your way through their excellent project based tutorials. There is paid content, but many are free:

Those and just generally messing around is how I learned it.

Thanks @Louise_Driggers I will check those out.

@Louise_Driggers
I love your designs! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

T minus 5 minutes tillthis is featured on thingiverse.

Another great design!

Working on printing a 440mm tall version of this right this second. May take a day or two though.

@Carlton_Dodd and @Mike_Kelly_Mike_Make : Thank you!
@ThantiK I cannot wait to see that - what colour are you printing her in?

I know we’re printing her in a light blue, we have a second one going as well…but I didn’t check what color we were printing with on that one.

I’ve got a ~200mm one sliced to print tomorrow!

Mine is about half done, in blue PET+ will post a picture if it successfully finishes.

Cute dragon! I’m so printing this when I get back to my machine again!
