I’m broadly agreeing w moph, and to add: I also don’t object at all to Kondor’s stuff at the top of this thread
It’s interesting that 3D stl can be generated from image from text prompt, I didn’t know that was possible


It's very possible and also 3d printing in full colour
is already possible . It won't be too long until 8k+ printers in colour are a thing with Ai Generating (stealing) art to make those sculpts and said sculpts Fully being "painted"...

Sooooo many jobs will be lost ...

progress.. Sad 😞

Colour printers at the minute are only FDM right? which has huge layer lines and not suitable for minis
Resin printers can't do colour

Just had a look and there's a thing where it has a turntable on a Z-axis and different colours of resin sprayed downward inkjet style and then cured as it rotates and descends
Pretty cool

I like painting now, but only because i've gotten into it
If I was getting into hobby at a point where this type of technology is mature.. I don't know ..

Blood Bowl is the sort of thing where you only need a handful of minis for a team and it costs more to buy a set of paints than it does to buy a team. I have so many paints, probably more than I have minis...

I think the real benefit would be to have minis base coasted
.. all the sections their prinary colours then you cam add the detail you want.. its pretty incredible tech though

The best application for it at the minute imo is for minimal effort minis
(Similar to the AI discussion) it cuts out the bottom of the market, replaces the low end

I'm thinking of board games with minis you're not that attached to
D&D games where you potentially have hundreds of monsters to fight through but without the personal attachment

For a lot of people, their team / army is something they have personal investment in, attachment to, and want to paint to a good standard to represent themselves as a hobbyist and gamer
So they'll try to make it as good as they can


The quality of the mini in this full colour resin printer video I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvnKH7oHoZw is not that good
Well... I can do better. The non-hobbyists I know couldn't do better

I'm not sure its a starting point for paint, because you'd probably still need to primer it first. It's got some kind of waxy coat as supports which is probably horrible for painting on
And the surface looks a bit rough which probably will look horrible if you did oil washes or streaking grime or other things that'd show up the texture, similar to how they can really bring out layerlines
