Excuse me while I go grab my popcorn.
I make props, armour, movie replicas as a hobby. I do it all by hand.
I get a bit of an eyeball twitch when someone shows me a prop and goes “I made this too” “of yeah, what did you use as a base material?” “Oh it’s 3d printed” “oh so your printer made it…”
id consider them making it if they were also the one who designed the 3d object without taking someone elses work. if they just downloaded a model, made minor changes than print it, I would not consider it their work.
Yeah, I spend hours digitally sculpting parts sometimes, and then once it’s printed I spend hours filling and sanding the build lines and painting. Having also built parts by hand, they’re equally skilled work in different ways. Digital sculpting is just a lot less messy which means it’s much easier for me to do at home, lol. Do not miss the days of hand-sculpting foam and making silicone molds and fiberglass parts.
