This was a highly requested topic during the past days, so here it is! A video on how to Kitbash using zBrush and preparing a model for 3D Printing.
I'll be covering a lot more topics in these videos, make sure you leave a comment with your video suggestions, I'm taking note of all those.
In the video, I will cover the basics of how to Kitbash models using zBrush 2020. Kitbashing is super fun and allows us to come up up with crazy and amazing ideas using pre-existing models...

Hello guys, Alex here.
So, I've been meaning to post more on our Youtube channel for the past year, but due to having a full-time job up until last month I was not able to do so.
Now that I left my full-time job I'm 100% dedicated to Cast n Play and posting videos again on Youtube is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now.
(I'll probably be making a video of how it was to leave my day job to focus on Cast n Play)
So, here's the first of many. I know production value is not over the top but I'm...

Hello guys, due to quarantine and this COVID situation being shitty as hell, we will include a complete bonus collection for next month's Throwback Folder. (Instead of the usual 11 Minis). You can vote as many times as you want!
Please, help us decide which one is your favorite.
This will obviously take more time to pre-support, so expect the pre-supported Throwback folder to release later in the month of May.
Right now, Heroes Vol 1 is ready to go and will be releas...

Hey guys, join Yeesik while he's working on next month's collection. Feel free to ask questions about supports and printer settings, he's amazing at helping get printers dialed in and getting the best possible minis out of them.
You will also be able to see some of the upcoming models. *wink*

Hello guys,
Thank you all for being so patient. We finally finished pre-supporting and printing all the Kobolds files. Most of them have been printed twice, some of the easier once only once and some tricky models even three times without errors using different printers and resins.
Kobolds are super small compared to a human, so please be super careful when de-supporting them since some supports are thicker than their wrists and it's easy to snap them off.
Tweezers and warm water are super h...

Hey guys, lately I've been getting requests and questions about pre-supporting our models.
As some of you may remember, we did this in the past, over a year ago. And most users were not even using them. That's why we stopped.
It does represent extra work and it's not our area of expertise, so we're thinking very carefully about how to implement this step to our workflow while providing great quality on supported files.
Times have changed and a lot of new supporters have joined. So we're all ears and would ...
