Today we are taking a look at two character makers for 3D printable characters for your table-top games, and collection. Hero Forge has been around for quite a while and they offer subscriptions, digital and physical and painted prints. The platform is easy to use, and it is loved by quite a few folks out there. Eldritch Foundry is a bit newer to the market but they seem to know a thing or two about characters and give you tons of great options to pick from.
So, which one is best? Read my techical thoughts below and watch the video to find out more.
Hero Forge:
Pros:
Easy to use
Lots of options
Fairly inexpensive to purchase STL files
Cons:
No Mounts on XL or bigger characters
Low Poly counts on STL files
Meshes often colide with each other causing all sorts of odd looking things, causing you to have to ensure the model is 100% perfect before purchasing
Base options are limited
Prices for physical prints are a little high for a 32mm or game table sized mini
Physical prints are printed @ 50um or 100um (microns) would love to see this at 30um especially for tiny minis with tiny details
Eldritch Foundry:
Pros:
Easy to use
Lots of options (seeming to have some options that Hero Forge does not have)
Cheaper than Hero Forge to purchase STL files
Unlimited downloads with paid plan
Physical prints are printed @ 30um (microns instead of Hero Forge's 50 and 100)
Cons:
Locked items that don't allow STL downloads
Low Poly counts on STL files
No hollowing ability on most objects - so scaling is limited unless you want a solid giant figure
Meshes often colide with each other causing all sorts of odd looking things, causing you to have to ensure the model is 100% perfect before purchasing
No mounts
Physical files are also a bit pricey @ $25 and $55 for double-sized.
