Diablo II Hell Bovine Figurines

 I am in the process of commissioning a 3d model of the demonic cows from the secret cow level in Diablo II. 

See image:


I have been researching 3D printing and moulding processes. I have ordered the guts of an mp3 player that comes with a motion sensor to play sounds when someone walks past. I plan to make a cow statue that moos at you.

That's all for now,

Boss

Update 5/1/2022

I asked for a model that was fat and cartoonish with stubby legs, as true to the original (pictured above). Here is an example of what I said I didn't want:


Here is what I received:

I will work with this for now.

All for now, Boston.

Update 28/1/2022

If I'm going to produce statues and figurines I'd better learn how to make and use moulds. I decided to start off easy with a simple frog design using paraffin wax.

Simple frog design:


Frog design with pour spout:


Frog in situ.


 
 
Pouring the mould.
 

The mould is now set:

Extracting the model:

Mould ready to use:



Melting wax:


Mould in use:


Finished product is filled with tiny bubbles and missing toes.





That's all I can do for now,

Boston.

Update 14/1/2022

I have used my existing moulds to make a cat and a frog out of plaster. The resulting figurines are covered with bubbles.



All for now. Boston. 

 

Update 9/1/2026

 I plugged one of the sprites from Diablo 2 into an AI to reconstruct the 3D model.

 



 

 Its not a bad resemblance from that angle. I could pay extra to generate from multiple images from multiple angles, and then get someone to make the spear a bit thicker for 3d printing, and then I could print like half a dozen of them for a total cost of possibly $300, then lose interest and wish I had the money back.

Oh well,

Boston

    If this works out I might make a Wololo statue.

    I know a guy who knows a guy who has a 3d printer. I was thinking of getting my original cast made in metal but if I can get one on the cheap in plastic, that'd be good.

Reina (Dungeons and Dragons Character)

Image
 Reina was a DnD character I player using a class that was not available on DnD Beyond, so this was where she lived. The DM is doing a new campaign based of Diablo 2 and I am playing Cassia the lightning/javelin ranger. Reina is a name that means queen in the old language and she carries herself with a regal air. She speaks only when she must, but she does things right while displaying minimal effort. Such is her grace and her consecrated beauty. Race:    High Elf Class:    Alternate Ranger Level:    9 Alignment:    Lawful Good Armour Class:    17 Initiative:   4 Speed:    30 Proficiency:    +4 Max Hitpoints: 77 (Tough) Passive Perception:    13 Investigation:    11 Insight:    13 Ability Score: Modifier: Saving Throw: Strength: 8 -1 +4 Dexterity: 1 8 +4 +9 Constitution: 12 +1 +2 Intelligence: 13 +1 +2 Wisdom: ...

Maths Game.

Image
 I am (occasionally) working on an action RPG game where every time you attack you have to answer a maths question. RPGs are cool and I used to play them a lot but now I am a social gamer and I don't appreciate the brain-drain. I have accrued a large repository of spaghetti code with a few gems as I learn the ins and outs of game programming in C ( https://github.com/BostonBrooks/Spaghetti_Graveyard. ) . I chose C because it is what the electronic and computer engineers use and working as an ECE is a long term goal for me. I am using the C binding for SFML because SDL doesn't easily incorporate 2D meshes, to be used for 2.5D curved ground surfaces. A few demos below. Scritchyness is due to screen capture software.     All for now, Boston.   Update 17/02/2022 In the game, the terrain is represented as a 2 dimensional grid where each point has a third dimension (height). I have used bicubic interpolation (functions with x^3 and y^3 terms) to smooth the areas between po...

Fossicking

Image
 My father and I just got back from a trip to Lightning Ridge to look for opals. We had a great time and we were much more successful than we have been, panning for little specks of gold. Mud collects on the bottom of the ocean, and gets compacted into rock. Then then rock cracks and water fills on those fissures. Over time silica is deposited in those fissures. The silica is commonly a greyish blue colour (potch), but sometimes comes out sparkly. This is what we call opal. Over time, through geologic processes, the mudstone is carried upward, above sea level. In Lightning Ridge they bore tunnels into the mud stone looking for opals, and the gravel they dig out is just left on the side of the road. In fact, the roads are lined with this gravel. When it rains the mudstone is washed away, leaving behind the potch and little fragments of opal that the miners missed when they dug up the gravel. Fossickers walk along the side of the road looking for the sparkly stuff.  I collected ...
