As a 3D modeler and game developer I love ZBrush but its a double edge sword as its created a generation of artists that have replaced strong silhouettes and shape language with visual noise. This started in games and then blead into movies and now mini sculpting. The reason Space Marines are so iconic is their simplicity of form as compared to the noise blobs in a game like Gears of War. The eye needs to rest when looking at images and sculptures so detail is good but in moderation.

One of my favourite bugbears about 3D printing minis is digital sculptors who seem to exist almost solely in the virtual, with apparently little experience on the limitations of physical reality. They'll sculpt a dragon in flight, supported by tree branch that is brushing past the tip of its wing, without a care for gravity and weight. They'll sculpt free-floating jewelry chains, delicate as a human hair, floating in mid-air, where an experienced physical sculptor would properly merge such things with the surface.

Another issue I've seen with alot of 3D modelers is depth of detail. On a GW Space Marine, detail has alot of depth, so as layers of paint go on, it's still there. I've bought some 3d printed models, and had to put the lightest of light under coats on, otherwise you lose detail on the model as it has no depth. They forget these models are to be painted, and that needs to be taken into account.

It's not just a problem for painting the minis either. It also makes it harder to have a good focal point on the mini. Our eyes tend to focus on areas with higher detail, but only if that detail is surrounded by an area of less detail. If the entire mini is covered in intricate detail, you have to use different tricks to create a definite focal point on the model.

Especially with the abundance of recent paint lines designed to be applied quickly over textured surfaces, I would love to see more sculptors take that stance (it's one of the reasons why Bestiarum is one of my favorite sculptors). Really love the relic blade models and may look into picking some up for myself!

I've deliberately moved towards a very similar mindset when making my models. I used to make perfect geometrical symmetry, model everything in an engineer-like manner, measure shit to the micrometer. I had to create a solution for the endless detail-on-detail compulsion that I too suffered at the time. The first step away from this was the "Cube of Detail". When sculpting, I always had a 0.2mm cube in the scene. When you print stuff at the 0.05mm layer line height, 0.2mm is slightly more than the absolute minimum required to have a wash or drybrush catch on the detail. So when going for those detail adding passes, I brought the cube near the details so I'd stop myself from worrying about stuff smaller than that. A big breakthrough away from this mini detail obsession was when I made a copy of the GW Angron kit. I essentially just made the basic armor shapes, and then hand sculpted the details on top. It took less time, and it still after printing, looks just as good. Other two deviations I've made away from the insane detail-on-detail obsession since then has been to increase the size Cube of Detail to 0.3mm, and having another cube the size of 1cm3. That's roughly the side of a fingernail. That gives a better idea on how much details do I really want on a surface overall. Float the 1cm cube over, look at the details. Yeah it looks in the software like there's plenty of room to throw shit in, but the thing is that I'm looking at it so closely that the model should be printed at 75mm to match. There is no need to fuss over details on every surface, and it's just a waste of time for both the painters or hobbyists who want to use the models, as well as you as the designer of said model.

Big flat areas are very tricky when you not a master of layering like you and Miniac. Not everyone is a pro-painter or has the time to blow out a dozen hours per miniature. The high detail makes it SOOO MUCH EASIER to paint when you is a Slapchop-based technique. Basically, you have to use an airbrush to shade or screw around with Speedpaint/Contrast paint and overbrushing until it doesn't look splotchy.

I love the lower detail minis. Might have to get into Relicblade based on those minis. I'm so tired of 50% of the time I spend painting a mini being trying to find a way to efficiently go over eight million little details and trims and things. I painted a mini recently with the standard big shoulder pads which I don't mind, but then above and below the shoulder pads are these metal vents sticking out at either side. And the ones on top aren't OVER anything, it's just a vent sticking out perpendicular to the rest of the shoulder. I'm looking at this while I'm painting and thinking "the hell is that for?" Does it look cool? Nope. Does it make sense? Nope. Does it enhance the silhouette of the model? Nope. So why did they do it? I have no earthly idea. My guess is when the sculptors are working on the models in their sculpting program they get too zoomed in to the model and it still looks like a blank canvas for them. But it's not meant to be a canvas for them. It's meant to be a canvas for us. There's obviously extremes that can go either way. Nobody wants a knight that just looks like a blob of plastic with no details at all. But more companies need to consider the painter if they want to get more people into this hobby.

The increased level of detail on minis can really be tracked to the increase in the accessibility to quality 3D printers; now that more people have access to printers that can print quality resin minis, there are more and more companies putting out huge releases of 3D printable tabletop minis. One major issue with this is that a lot of the sculptors doing this work come from a video game design background (often looking to pick up some extra work on the side) and have never picked up a brush in their life and it shows in their sculpts. As you said in the video a lot of the renders look phenomenal, but if you print them out the detail is too shallow, the weapons are too thin to be durable at all, and the model ends up being a nightmare to paint.

Not only can you now not decide on the texture etc. but using painting techniques glazing, layering, wet blending becomes really annoying because all the sculpted texture is in the way.

I don't find this to be a problem personally but to each their own.

This is so true. I brought cursed city and ran out of focus to finish painting the heros and main bad guys too many bits

Such a pet peeve of mine when you can tell a mini was sculpted with no consideration for the painter in mind. A lot of the details don't even make sense! The sculpts are just one of the reasons why I love Relicblade. The Destroyer Pig is my favorite even though it's hard to choose!

I can totaly agree, i was so used to GW minis (which are looking awesome), then i was so suprised wenn i painted Darth Vader from Star Wars Legion (better then 40k). I painted him up so quickly, because there are less details. This makes paintig way more enjoyable and you can start playing earlier.

Totally agree..i wonder if its partially because the modelers dont paint and/or game, unlike the past

Great video! The interview and paint footage together is a cool idea. How many of us listen to podcasts while we paint right?

Good lesson, and I agree about the over engineering of minis. I think 3d printing would be WAY cooler if the people producing STLs would make minis look more like the thicc, hand-sculpted glory that got me into this hobby. There's a place for it all.
I think there is a market for both - in my view, with painting companies that come out with 42-60 + colors to choose from, one should get their money’s worth with large and detailed sculptures that would demand a full color palate. There’s equally simplistic miniatures for those who wish an easier canvas to paint on. The Pros may suggest simple is better but they do wind up showcasing more detailed miniatures anyway for their channels. You certainly want a more simplistic style for mass army board games for obvious reasons both commercial and playability - that makes sense because doing 50 pieces all the same with their details is a very tedious task. I think the detailed models are most def for the 75mm and up crowd ( Like Myself), for I don’t table top game but I like the hobby side of miniatures and using pieces to portray a display story. I just personally think if it was meant to just be simple, then why bother having a color collection when you can then just buy a primary set of pigments and mix your own. There wouldn’t be a need for 60 colors or so - and that I think would start to hit the hobby’s versatile options. I like the choice and love the different schools of thought!
