You need something (phone, camera) to take pictures of the model along a circle, ideally covering each part of the model. Optionnal: I made myself a lightbox out of standard blank A4 paper taped together, and I stick my desk/painting lamp on the upper face to make a cheap diffuse light.ġ.2. Camera tripod or similar fixture (or any base with correct height that isn't risky for your phone or camera)ġ.1.Light box (I made one out of paper taped together on which I apply a desk lamp).Rotating plate (mine is homemade using an arduino board, stepper motor and a warmachine round base).The physical model that will enter the numeric world.Without further ado, here is the step-by-step procedure I used - it might not be the best and don't hesitate to let me know if I can improve anything! I have now uploaded one entry for each of my painted units, so for instance for EOS Heavy Infantry I have each of the command group options + 1 halberdier + 1 swordsman, which I can then duplicate to build virtual armies. I personnally also use Arduino for the hardware part but don't delve into details here nor is it mandatory. This is the only mandatory non-free software of this guide, other softwares I recommend and use here are 3DF Zephyr (free edition) and Blender. The objective of this first tutorial is to let you upload your own models onto TableTop Simulator. Import the reworked model(s) into Tabletop Simulator if the model had been sliced, assemble & bind them to recreate the full model save the final object and it's done! obj into Blender, orient it, rescale and finally decimate if this creates too much loss, slice into several parts export the reworked model(s)ĥ. Import pictures & masks into 3DF Zephyr (free), generate model. Import pictures into 3DF Masquerade, create mask for eachģ. Take pictures of the finished (painted & assembled) model (30 pictures, 360° at model height + 20 pictures, 360° from above at a 45° angle)Ģ. Workflow : I put it there for anyone to easily find if needed:ġ. Bonus: Idum's patrol collection (TTS) & Essence of War by Veil of the Ages (TTS, main mod for playing).
Extra guides: Dynamic Movement Tray + Improved Model Capture + Multi-parts Model.Advanced method for improved model quality.Creation of your numeric model & import to Tabletop simulator (current post).Note that a device to capture pictures (smartphone, camera.) and a computer are needed, so it is not exactly "free" - and the use of the numerical model presented here uses Tabletop Simulator, which costs 10 to 20 EUR for a lifetime licence.Īt the end of this series of tutorials you will be able to bring your own, physical models built with love to the online world! The method presented here uses free softwares & demo only for 3D scanning your models and make them usable numerically.
