Years ago, my wife made a doppleganger of a certain Count in Spore (that game where you design your own species and lead it through history. Or just make creatures and things).
Recently I’ve learned that the latest patch allows exporting the creature models from the game into Collada format which can be read, for example, by Blender.
So I exported it,
tweaked it,
and brought the file to local 3D store to be printed.
Even my wife, who wasn’t exactly charmed by my sphynx attempts, was immediately inspired.
By the way, the scale was 4 cm (think LEGO minifig size), and the price was about 500 roubles for 2 copies (originally they were asking 570, but lowered the price, probably as an apology for some service mishaps) which you can convert to a currency of your choosing.
Note to Cory: the usage of the model is actually controlled by some draconian EULA which I’ve probably broken, though I hope not.
Count out!
