Hey, I just came up with an idea of a service for you guys over at Illfonic.
As the world struggles with crappy stuff like NFT, lootboxes, bitcoin and other ways of making cash. You guys can develop a niche to actually be unique in this sense and be more creative, inspiring and original about it.
I suppose there are plenty of fans of different franchises here that would love to see their characters come to life or actually materialize?
On the Illfonic side:
What if you guys create some sort of an easy plug-in for the game or engine where you can afford for the characters (overall) that are customized in the game to be 3D printed and painted over at the studio by your talented artists (or a team of selected artists) and be able to organize a competition in order for the selected profile (customized cheracter) to be sent to the winner? That would be a neat way to attract and connect to the community on a whole new level.
On the general view:
I am talking about a neat idea for Illfonic to be able to organize competitions of all sorts as well as set up limited edition events where the community could actually give / send / export their characters via something as rudimentary as the profile settings file and be able to get their favorite characters and customized models to actually be 3D printed and painted and for them to be able to receive it via shipping to the winner addresses.
After all, who wouldn’t just want a painted statue out of numerous materials and ways in terms of raisin and other more environmentally friendly as well as recycled materials? It would be every fan’s, nerd’s, geek’s and gamer’s, and dev’s dream Come true. (3D printing is the future after all)
Differnt variations, different ways to print it, different resolutions and detail levels, and different paints combined with the ultimate touch and creativity of the player/fan. Hell, you can even do charity and donation events as well as give the ammount or sum from these figures or statues to a cause out there.
Just sayin’
