Description
Zao the Sub Commander
This 3D-printable wasteland invader is inspired by a deep and enduring love of Fallout 4. Overlook the fact that he nuked part of Boston and he's holed up in a radioactive underwater tube. Commander Zao is part "professional sailor with good morals" and part "it sucks being in Boston harbour for 200 years.”
The model is intentionally detailed yet print-friendly, with clean surfaces, sturdy proportions. A closer examination might say, “Yes, I’ve seen some things, and no, I don’t want to talk about them.” As anyone who has worked with AI-assisted modeling knows, you sometimes end up with a character sporting either seven fingers per hand or an existential crisis made of polygons. The “mutant mishap” variants are AI-inspired and I let 'em go 'cause there's nothing some throwable SLBM targeting grenades can't cure.
Whenever a character has fine bits, consider tilting it 15 to 20 degree on the print plate.
I hope the character has just enough post-apocalyptic flair to remind you why roaming the wasteland is still one of gaming’s greatest joys.
