Hey everyone!

Here’s the very first episode of Behind the Mini: a new series where I take one of my minis and break down a specific part of my sculpting workflow.

This first one covers the Dragonborn Paladin, and how I managed to get it to print without a single support. We’ll go over how I approached the pose, where the hidden supports are built into the geometry, and why his sword is literally fused into his face (on purpose).

I had this idea to make shorter, more focused videos instead of one big course. Little deep dives into problem solving, design choices, and all the weird tricks that make these minis printable in the first place.

Let me know if you like this format, and what subject you’d like me to cover next.

Love,Sander

P.S. If you want to start sculpting in Gravity Sketch yourself, I still have this older starter course explaining every tool I use. It’s a great intro! You can find it through this post.

I just got a meta quest 3. I didn’t know if I should get gravity sketch or shapelab. I want to do my own designs that I draw often. But I also want to learn how to print things in pieces so they key together with glue OR so I can make the head til, pivot, and swivel. Any tips or input?

I would also love to see how you did hazy 🙏🏼

Shapelab is really good too. It's more akin to something like Zbrush. You should try both and find out which one clicks for you. ;) Moving parts I do in Fusion 360 because they're too complex to do in Gravity Sketch. Not sure if I'm the right person to ask, because I only do them once in a while and my process has been kinda messy every time. There's plenty of tutorials for 3D printed connections and such on Youtube though! A big part of this is just doing and iterating. Learning from others. Trying something, printing it, fixing what doesn't work, then trying again.
