I'm giving away free 3D badges! (closed)
10 years ago
I will give away 4 free* 3D lowpoly lenticular printed badges like this, this or this.
The back of the badges looks like this and has a QR code and a URL on it. (Only if you want that of course.)
The badges are 10cm by 15cm (4x6 inches) in size and come with a badge holder and lanyard.
I can also add an NFC tag that's programmed with up 137 bytes of links and text and can be read with an NFC enabled smartphone if you touch it against the badge.
Since this is a physical item it will need to be shipped to you somehow, so I will need some sort of address.
If you're uncomfortable with that (which I can totally understand) this might not be for you.
(If you happen to come to Eurofurence and I finish your badge by then I might be able to give it to you in person.)
If you want to get a badge post in the comments below or the reddit thread.
I'm gonna need a good reference of your character and a description of how you want to appear on the badge.
These badges will be SFW only.
Please understand that 3D work takes a lot of time, so I won't be able to model any super complicated backgrounds or props.
They will most likely look like the ones on the badges above.
Also please keep the limitations of the medium in mind.
The maximum "depth" achievable using this technique is around 5cm. Everything more than that will just be a blurry mess.
This means none of the parts of the model or background can extend more than 5cm "in" or "out" of the badge.
The badges are meant to be viewed straight on and have a viewing angle of around 35 degrees.
Outside of that viewing angle the image will flip over to the other side and look slightly distorted.
Also, since they are hand made there may be slight variations in the viewing angle and you might not get the full 35 degrees.
The better your ref and description the better your chance of getting picked. This is not a "who comments first" competition.
I'm gonna allow a few days for replies to accumulate and pick the best ones.
I will announce the "winners" sometimes this week in a journal and also send them a message.
If you didn't get chosen and still want one you need to have some patience.
Once these badges are done and I have worked out how to get paid for doing this I will open for commissions.
The starting price for a badge will probably be around 250€.
How long will it take to finish these badges?
No idea. but I'll try to cram as much in my day as I can, but my paid work needs to come first.
* Yup, it's free. But if it turns out that shipping it to you costs five million Euros because you live on the south pole or something we're gonna have to work something out.
Also I'll gladly accept donations if you want to cover the material costs.
EDIT: The badges ship from Germany. Shipping to the US is only a few euros, so that's no problem. ^.^
EDIT 2: Tomorrow I'm gonna make my final decision and announce the "winners". So if you want in there is still time.
EDIT 3: Some stuff has happened at my work that took up all of my time so I couldn't look at all refs yet. I am really really really sorry. I get to it as quickly as possible.

Here is Kasia's ref sheet: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17223209/[1]
I think it would be neat to maybe have her be waving if possible!
I live out in the U.S, but I'm tots fine with paying for shipping :) Thanks for the chance!
A nice position would be smiling, maybe waving as well, with her goggles perched on her forehead.
And I live in Sweden, so shipping wouldn't be an issue.
I can imagne her in some sort of cutesy pose, much like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/536772849312835186/
As for clothing, something frilly and pastel is perfect.
Sushi or hearts are always perfect for the background.
This is awesome! Thanks for the chance :D

If you end up choosing me I'd love to see him with a orange lasers firing out of his eyes
I'd love to put myself in the running.
Here is my reference for Jaxen: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17295556/
He's a plain and simple brown beaver. :B If I have the good fortune of getting a badge, a 3/4 view headshot with a friendly expression would be wonderful. If the setup was exactly like Nybble's, with the woodland background and wooden plank for the name, it would be very fitting, being a beaver and all. ;3 The only thing I would change is the text colour to purple, to contrast Jaxen's green eyes.
And I'm perfectly happy to pay for shipping to the US!
