Welcome to PJ's Q&A session. Hello everybody welcome to PJ Chen Design.
Today's Q&A section we are going to talk about where can you find a ready-made
model to use something like Tiger head or animal body. Those kind of model is
not easy to build in Rhino. If you know how to use a ZBrush, that's great because
you can save your money to do that, but finding those model is saving your time
to do the freelance job. Are you ready, let's get started!
There are a six websites that I'd like to show you today. You can find a model here
also mean you can sell your model here. But today, we are going to talk about
finding a model, so what do you come to the website first one is GrabCAD. I will
list all the website in the description below. Let's go over here and we are going to
search for lion head, because we use animal head on the signal ring a lot, so
this is something that we can look into it. So you're gonna look into if you see
any lion head that you like. For example this one is already on the ring, and I
think it's selling with the ring in there, or if you don't like it you come
over here, you just want to have a head. and then you can take a look on that.
Since doesn't have a great detail in there, so we want to look for
something really nice and smooth, and this website doesn't have much of a
specific lion head. Let's just type in lion and see what happened. Alright, so
you have more with the whole lion and this is more of the logo looking things.
So you can search for the things over here. So the first one is GrabCAD. The
second one is CGtrader, and so let's take a look on this again, we want to
search the same thing just for the comparison. So lion head, and you can see
there's a lot of the head you can choose from. A lot of ZBrush artists on this
website. Some of them is already making to the
pendant more of the side view and things like that. So Let's just pick one.
Let's said, we like this one on the top for our signet ring.
and then you look you can kind of preview. It will give you all kind of
angle to preview what does it look like, and you always want to check what kind
of license that are you buying whether it is royalty-free, or there's
commercial,there is one-time use or things like that. We are looking for
STL file. This is the file we can bring into the Rhino, and we can adjust it
using the mesh boolean to simply just boolean into the mesh on our jewelry, so you
CGtrader is the second website, I will highly recommend. The third website
it's called Art Station, and what we're gonna do is we're gonna go to the
marketplace. This is a website not only people sell stuff, they also display
their work here. It's more like a portfolio place, so again we want to
type in Lion head, and you can see a lot of detail some of them even have a good
rendering, and so not just for jewelry use, people use for the animation we
find a head like that. the front head is really similar than the one that we were
looking at, and you also see this standard license for personal using, one
commercial project up to two thousand cells or to 20 thousand view. Alright so
you also want to see what kind of file. Look into it that you have the STL file.
So this will be good for us to use and make sure, most of them are coming with
a closed mesh form, so you just don't want to have a open form that way you
won't able to boolean. Okay so the third website it's called Art Station.
Follow-up we have another one Turbo Squid and turbosquid. Let's search again
Lion head, and then you have a lot of different kind as well. Some of them are
really elaborated, some of them is more simple like this cartoon. So
you kind of shop around going to and see what type of things you want. Imaging
that, if you have to build this in the Rhino, it's gonna take forever. If
your freelance job pay you well, and they request to have so much detail
sometimes, it's much easier to buy the ready may model to modify it, instead of
you using your time to build them. okay so TurboSquid is the fourth one
that I search a lot. The next one is Sketch Fab, you are going to see some of
the model as cross the station is because you can sell in ones platform
you can selling the other platform, so you might come across to see different
kind of the heads and you feel like. oh, this is familiar on other website. so
we're coming over here we are able to turning around and see inside and outside.
Again, you want to read through the model information.it will tell you it's an
STL file, and what's the file size, how many vertex is that, and all the
information you need. The very last one this one is Free3D.com and let's
search for lion head, alright, so they give you other different type of a head,
it's because they don't have much of a lion head, so we can look into it and see
if we like any for example that this one. It is actually pretty good in the details.
Sometimes for jewelry, we forgot we are looking in the computer, and we
can zoom in a lot, but in the reality, once you cast it, you polish, you lose a
lot of detail, so the detail like this is actually pretty fit into for the jewelry
purpose. so that's six websites that you can play with search for the model that
you like. I hope you enjoy the video today. Please like and comment and share
my video, and let me know what would you like to know I can put in the Q&A
session. Thank you and I'll see you next!
