HI,
I just wanted to say that DotSan provided me with an excellent service - I tried hollowing the piece out myself (using zbrush) but ended up wih a lumpy un-uniformed thickness.
DotSan created the minimal wall thickness (to minimise material costs), remodeled the base (which was a vey unpleasant angled block) and re-created the plaque - which is so much cleaner now.
Thanks DotSan!!

I've been working with Travis from Mississippi. A fleet of battleships for a game he is putting together, there is still one more to do to complete the set. The models were created from his drawings.

Amon Desiree gave me this complicated Sketchup model with many problems. I remodeled it and shelled it.

Hey, VirtualV, great stuff!
I'm wondering, how much do you charge - what's a typical hourly rate for your work, and how many hours does an average, fairly simple model take you to repair?
I'm asking because there are some meshes I've made that I'm having difficulty getting clean enough for the uploader to accept them.
If your pricing is reasonable I might hand them off to you.

Here is a print of Hoodie, he's amazing and the print quality is brilliant. The process allows for easy variations of the colours and pattern, see it here http://www.shapeways.com/model/80951/hoodie.html

Hi,
I have a manifold issue with my model that I worked very hard on but I dont know how to fix it. I was wondering if you might be able to fix it for me and find out how to make it hollow so it is cheaper. It was made in google sketchup. Thanks!
P.S. It wont let me attach my file so if you think you can fix it send me your E-mail.

I've just finished a project for David Mihail from www.scifiskunkwerks.blogspot.com
He wanted these models cleaned up of many problems including creating a single shell.

Just wanted to give a big "Thank you" to Vijay. He does excellent work, quickly and at an affordable price. Best, he was able to put up with me. The top model was a digital kit-bash, and a thoroughly messy one. The bottom two were quick & dirty models. In each case, Vijay was able to make them watertight, manifold, align the normals and then shell the model. Great work, Vijay.

Great! Nice to meet you. Take a look at these two articles on my blog.
Does shapeways have the capacity to print a shoe that is wearable? Take a look at this article on my blog (url below).
What material would you suggest for this? Let me know please and how long (how many hours) it would take you to create a design for a shoe.
http://www.tallshortgirl.com/2010/03/3d-printed-footwear-is- the-future/
If I sent you a pair to duplicate, could you create those 3d files for me? Right and Left foot? How long would that take you!?
Let me know! If the price is right, I hope we can work together!

Dot San has filled a knowledge gap in file fixing for me, enabling my Rhino drawings to be printed. This has significantly improved my work-flow.

Heya everyone, Vijay was very helpful (and fast) hollowing out a model for me. The cost of the final model printing was reduced from $200 down to about $50

I found Vijay to be very helpful on a recent project.
I was also surprised to see the price differential between the "pre-shelled" and "post-shelled' model as test uploads to the Shapeways site.
Shelling is certainly cost efficient and Vijay was a pleasure to work with.

It has been a pleasure having Vijay working on an idea of mine, he's showed true quality of service, professionalism and would always be quick in sorting out any unforeseen problems and replying to any questions.
Thanks Vijay!

Vijay has recently helped us to create a digital model of a scrap metal sculpture. We just gave him a set of photos. The project went very well and many thanks to Vijay for a job well done.

Vijay helped me this week with adjusting some models to be smoother and ready to print. After making the payment i got the 3 models back in 1 day. Great and fast service for a good price. Next time that i need something adjusted to be made ready for printing i'm sure i will contact Vijay again.

Vijay is brilliant!
Its not easy trying to get your ideas across to someone half way around the world,but it can be done!Hes very understanding,Im sure he mustve been banging his head on the table a few times,after reading my emails!
Very talented.I will be sending all my work his way(if he isnt sick of me yet).
Even with exchange rates,I wouldnt be able to get the same job done here any cheaper.
Hats of to you Vijay,you are prepared to make dreams come true for people you dont know and will probably never meet.
cheers mate.
Stu.

I just wanted to say that Vijay helped me with a project that I was at a standstill on. He did a great job fixing things I needed and was very pleasant to work with. I wouldn't hesitate using him again. Thanks, Vijay!
