Downloading a frame as an obj file

I recently created an obj file of myself and I was using Maximo to position my character. Is there a way to save a single frame of the animation as an obj file so the model will say positioned? I am trying to save it as an obj file so I can 3D print it. 

Thanks

Yes there is.

  • Turn off the animation preview button.
  • Trim your motion to the frame you want.
  • download
  • depending on how you print, you may want to download .DAE (collada file)
  • Convert to .stl, obj, .amf (Free online converters)

 

Good luck

the file you download will have two sets of bones... the T \ A pose you uploaded to Mixamo and the animation so you still need to use a 3D tool like Photoshop or Blender to see the correct pose anyway

 

also be aware the model will not have any textures when you print it out in 3D i.e, only a white \ gray model is what you finish up with but you can still paint that by hand

At AdobeMAX, they showcased some options for printing 3D that included colored sandstone.  If it's a one-off that you want to send to a service like SHAPEWAYS, you can get metal, SLS, (standard PLA or ABS).

 

My coworkers print all kinds of solid color PLA models - some of them look great as a single color!

Hi, I created small script for this exact purpose and use it to position characters in mixamo and then 3d print them:

To be clear tho, this script passes the animation file through Blender3D in order to produce the single model for printing? Right?
It's not a task that extracts the .stl by itself.
(I haven't executed the script yet, but it looks fairly easy to run)

Yes the script uses blender in order to produce the .stl
I currently use it with Blender 3.2
