Oh, interesting! A different approach to minis. What material will they be in?
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested to see how this compares to traditional minis in price and quality. And does it simplify the process? I'd think so, because it reduces the effort involved to "someone that can do 3D modeling" and "the company that has the 3D printer"...
Now if only they were painted... WotC's quality isn't that high but I pretty much gave up buying unpainted minis a long time ago, unless it's something I really have an investment in (a character I'll be playing, a really major NPC).
@mxyzplk: Here is the list of the material they will be in: http://www.shapeways.com/materials/
ReplyDeleteWe hope to offer CUSTOM and PERSONALIZED minis that you the customer can create if this does well.
