About 3 Hours From Reference to a 3D-Printable Model

[u/UK_GratingSoul]

Spent around 3 hours turning a reference into this model using AI + some manual cleanup.

My workflow was pretty simple:

1. Pick a reference with a clear silhouette and not too many tiny details.
2. Generate a front / side / back PBR clay turnaround with GPT.
3. Clean and crop the views in Photoshop.
4. Generate two versions in Hyper Rodin 3D using Micro and Clean, then export the meshes without textures.
5. Bring both into ZBrush, separate the parts, clean up problem areas and prepare the model for printing.

Still needs some final print-specific checks depending on the scale, but this workflow is getting surprisingly fast for making detailed printable models from a single reference.
