Downloads without real image with ticket message

I’ve printed that model, I have it right in my palm, I’m looking at it and comparing to the “photos” and… Damn… You’re right, it’s a render, but it’s sooo good of a render that it’s near indistinguishable from the real thing unless I really look into it.

I’ve looked into “how” and I found:

This makes it hard to distinguish ‘real’ from really good render. In other topic I did mention that personally I’m fine with renders instead of images on model covers/images as long as it’s to-the-scale and so on and this is it, but the print profile real image is imho clear enough requirement.

I think @GenericUser suggested requirements for real photo, but I don’t remember them now - I think in print profile it’d be good to ask for:

  • model on print plate, ideally whole plate visible with purge lines.
  • if the profile has supports, then with supports still on
  • if the profile is multi-color and has purge tower - the tower in the frame too

I’d have to make my printer space more “presentable” to meet those, but I’d be ok with that. I do wonder if having the blender gcode importer thingie would allow to fake all of that though :confused:

I’ve worked on product photography and I assure you, making “levitating” objects in still photos is quite easy, especially for items that fit within weight limits of thin transparent fishing line :wink: more “telling” for me are the books.
