Still, with 3D printing, they turned out pretty cool. The other characters available for you to trip down memory lane are Tifa Lockhart, Barret Wallace, Vincent Valentine, Red XIII, Cid Highwind, Cait Sith and Yuffie Kisaragi. So now you can grap a Sephiroth, or Aeris Gainsborough at joabaldwin's Shapeways store. 'The only things I changed from the original was making thin parts a bit thicker (like the swords), or thickening Vincent's cape (in reality it's a flat polygon). And 3D printing is perfect for making these models. 'Low polygon version just like the one you controlled (briefly) in the FF7 game, with original textures and manually posed.' writes joabaldwin.
Artist Joaquin Baldwin ( joabaldwin) has recently re-created a set of Final Fantasy VII characters using 3D printing, and they look awesome.
It turns out the PlayStation's polygonal models of Final Fantasy VII's colorful cast are perfect for 3D printing. The game follows Cloud Strife, a troubled mercenary who joins with an eco-terrorist group to stop the megacorporation Shinra from draining the life of the Planet to use as an energy source. Final Fantasy VII, a role-playing video game released in 1997 features a large number of fictional characters.
