Description
The mini adventure Lost Mines of Phandelver includes a Dwarf named "Gundren Rockseeker". I found that he wasn't on Thingiverse so I wanted to create a model of him to fill that gap. He's a pretty basic NPC dwarf that gives out quests at the start. If your party likes to adopt NPCs you might find that you need a mini of this fellow in particular.
For the process I used a different AI tool this time. I was contacted after posting about my process on Reddit and was trying a workflow of a new tool. Overall I'm really happy with the model results and could see this tool being really good at getting the "perfect" model (as opposed to the shotgun approach of most AI tools). Beyond that I did my usual processing in Blender and optimization for print.
Gundren is a Dwarf so he's on a 25mm medium baseplate and I have him at 25mm in height (about 5ft tall). He's a pretty solid model so should print straight up on the print bed without any problems.
