Looking for a lobster

Llynara

Not sure where to put this thread. I'm looking for a 3D lobster, preferably a toy one (like the picture attached). Not sure one exists. Might have to make one eventually if I can't find it. I figure with the Little Mermaid craze ages ago, there might be one out there somewhere. 

It's definitely not urgent, LOL. Just trying to find one for a render. I have a character (a little boy) who carries around a stuffed toy lobster. This was inspired by one of my sons who had one as a kid. It would be nice to add it to the scene.

only one I know of and have is for Carrara

Thanks, fool. I figure this might be difficult (or impossible) to find, but doesn't hurt to ask!

There's a Poser one here, but probably not worth the price.

Thanks, that's a nice realistic one by Noggin, and I'm sure there was a lot of work that went into it, but not exactly what I need. Did you see how much the rigged, animated lobster cost? Wow!

I'll keep looking. I have hexagon, blender and some other 3D modeling stuff but have no clue how to use them yet. This might be a good excuse to start learning!

the 3D printing sites have some

I thought there was a free one on most-digital-creations (although not rigged I don't think)

not a lobster exactly

Wow, "Thirty feet of primeval terror"! That's hilarious! Love the render with the giant one!

Thanks! This one might work: http://www.123dapp.com/123c-3D-Model/Lobster/593572

I'll give a whirl and post how it turned out!

This one also looks promising, if I can figure out how to get them into DAZ: http://www.123dapp.com/catch/Toy-lobster/4069203

But might be copyright issues, as it looks like a scan of a real toy that could be trademarked.

You can use 123D catch on the web, or as an app on ipad phone etc, you just need an Autodesk id, is free, you can then download it and export an obj.

the app itself is fun as you can scan things yourself with just a camera, phone or ipad.

as to copyright bit unsure, possibly if you 3D printed and sold it, using it in a a 3D render is really not much different to using a photograph

I don't mind paying $30 (a lobster is very important for my current project)Do you know if this will work in DAZ?

There's a cooked lobster in the product Beach cabana . Maybe you could you use it after changing the textures and hiding the antennae?

The funny thing is that would be perfect (the lobster in the story is cooked.  Basically a comedic undead lobster)
But it doesn't seem to be posable...

wow it's been a year, hope you find your crustacean buddy soon

Now that sounds exciting, but on checking it out [link]  "Autodesk is no longer offering 123D" [...] "We are making some changes to simplify our Autodesk portfolio and workflows for people everywhere who love to make things. We are consolidating these tools and features into key apps such as Tinkercad, Fusion 360, and ReCap Pro.".

this thread is so old it has hairs growing on it

 CassLightwing has dragged it up from the dead like the unfound necrotic crustacean

yes 123D catch is long gone, it was a cool app, I miss it
