Model Introduction:

This model is a capybara-shaped pendant with a hole in the center of its orange-topped head for attaching a cord.

The model utilizes four filament colors: desert yellow, dark brown, black, and orange.

It can be printed as a single piece using AMS, or printed in parts for assembly.
 

Model Design:

Designed using Blender software’s polygonal modeling capabilities, based on reference images.

Design and Modeling Tutorial Introduction:

The tutorial is divided into six chapters, guiding you step-by-step from beginner to creating your own figurine.

Prologue: Introduction to the Blender software interface and basic operations
Chapter 1, Preparation: Explaining model size determination and reference image import
Chapter 2, Design and Modeling: Creating a complete 3D model based on reference images
Chapter 3, Part Optimization: Optimizing the designed model for 3D printing
Chapter 4, Coloring and Export: Coloring the model and exporting it in a format suitable for color printing
Chapter 5, 3D Printing: Importing the file into slicing software, setting parameters, and printing and assembling

Upon completion of the video and mastery of these techniques, you will be able to design and create your own character toys!
