Hello 3D modeling gurus! I'm looking for help building a 3D model that looks like this photo frame: http://www.michaels.com/studio-decor-bent-acrylic-horizontal -frame/M10118166.html?dwvar_M10118166_color=Clear I'm interested in building more intricate designs around this base model of a photo frame. Once the initial model is created I'd like to open it up in Photoshop or some other 3D modeling software in order to customize the design further. Please let me know if you can help and your rate! charles@cc5tudio.com
The frame you've linked to here is a sheet of bent plexiglass. None of the Shapeways materials are "clear" - you would be better off crafting some side decorations that act as a support structure, then use plexi or actual glass between the two side frames. If Shapeways were to have such a clear material, it'd be drastically more expensive than the $5 you see there at Michaels.. A flat sheet 8x10x0.15" would cost somewhere above $500 http://www.stonysmith.com/wired/VolumeEstimator.asp?L=8& W=10&H=.15&T=0&I=1
