3D scanned action figure head
I was testing some new AI models, and put together some tools that let me create 3d models from photos. This is "less accurate" than photogrammetry, but more realistic... basically it "fudges the details" in typical ai-slot fashion.
I'm using ReconViaGen Pixal3D and TRELLIS.2-4B along with Qwen3.8-27B as an agent with hermes-agent
Before we even had our son, I told my wife that I had one requirement before we had a kid... That before he was old enough to appreciate it, we had to get a 3d printer...
There are many reasons, but the biggest for me, was that I wanted to print custom action figures for "future child".
Being able to 3d scan his face, add compatible sockets to make it compatible with the other action figures I print for him so I could make a "personalized action figure" the same scale as all his other Fortnite action figures... is amazing...
Can you imagine having an action figure of yourself to play and fight with all your other favorite super heroes and villains?
I can't wait for when he's old enough to understand how insane this is... lol for now its just normal, and that's how it should be, IMO.
