I Recently Finished 3D-modeling All Of The Millennium Items, So I Celebrated By Making A Nice Render!

I recently finished 3D-modeling all of the Millennium Items, so I celebrated by making a nice render!

To get your own IRL Millennium Item (3D-printed and ultra-accurate) for cosplay or for your Yu-gi-oh! collection, check out this post~!

Ahhh, they look gorgeous! You did a great job painting the Rings! I’m glad you like them! (8

Painting the Millennium items

Last week I got my order from Shapeways. I started painting the items a day later. Here are some phot’s of how they were when I got them, how I painted them and the finished results.

I haven’t made photo’s of the mini millennium puzzles yet, I’ll get to that later on this week. Overal I’m happy with how everything turned out, and am glad I choose to handpaint them.

For anyone who’s interested, I got these lovely items from Shapeways, from a seller named vaguelygenius. Who took the time to model the items in a 3d program and let them be printed. How cool is that?

Charizard's Mega Evolutions are so awesome, and it's great that you have a choice in which strategy to use- and it adds an element of surprise since the enemy can't be sure which one you're using until you mega evolve!

This tribalish design is available on T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, phone cases, you name it!

And you can choose whether you'd prefer Mega Charizard Y facing up, or Mega Charizard X facing up~

The Yoda head and the castle tower are actually commonly-used 3D models for checking the accuracy of a printing machine. Another common one is a T-rex. Making a complicated shape lets you notice any mess-up and see how tiny a detail you can manage. For example, if the T-rex's teeth look more like gums, you know you can't use that printer for very fine, free-hanging details without some serious calibration.

As for the size of the prints, I limit myself to the 15cm (about 5.9in) cubed so that Shapeways can fit them into their polishing machine. The Ring only fits because I placed the spikes very, very close to the main body, and I designed the bigger Items to be pieced together from smaller parts and easily assembled. Just add superglue and you're good to go! Keeps the cost lower and makes sure you have a nice polish out of the box! Shapeways can actually print much bigger stuff in plastic and even metal though, it just won't be polished after printing.

I haven’t quite gathered all seven Millennium Items yet, but I’ve got five down, one in the mail, and one in the works!

These are all 3D-printed models of my own design, and they’re actually all available for sale at my Shapeways shop!

Check out all the details and how to get a nice gold shine on them at my Millennium Items page~

BONUS: The Millennium Items page includes a fully rotatable 3D model viewer, so you can see before you buy AND you can draw the Millennium Items from any crazy angle you desire! (Plus they’re really glittery and shiny and I am very pleased by the effect, oooooh)

Respecting the build volume can get a little hairy sometimes...

This was fun to do, and I'm glad you like it! And Mood Ring OMG that's beautiful. All it needs to do is change colors too, haha.

This was a bit of a last minute gift for one of my favorite Bakura blogs, but here is a render of my attempt at a DHB!Millennium Ring.

This Ring is probably my favorite DBH character, because it’s expressions make me laugh every time!

Solidworks made it transparent without my permission, so now this Ring can look vaguely alarmed by your dash!  B)

Oh man!  It’s so cool to see the Mood Ring with personality in 3D!!  Ha, ha!  It’s great that there’s someone to love it as a favorite.  It’s mostly going to be in serious face mode for the next part of the story since it and S.Bakura are in trouble!  But once that’s over there’ll be time to relax again. Guys, vaguelygenius makes neato 3D Millennium Item models and then makes them available on ShapeWays!  If you’re in the market for cosplay props, totally check it out.
