Creating and posing the mini The first step is to model or sculpt the character. For that, I'm using DAZ Studio. I'm using the same products/items as for renders, however I enabled morphs to enlarge thinnest parts like eyes, nose, mouth, fingers, etc... I had to create some of them in Blender (not covered in this tutorial). Marina's tunic was created in Marvelous Designer, belt, armbands and boots in Blender. After posing the character, I simulated tunic and hair (it's the reason I couldn't thicken them before). Once your character is ready to be printed, export it to OBJ with default parameters. Improving the geometry for printing Now I have to add thickness for parts that weren't possible in previous step. For the tunic, I'm using Solidify (Mode Simple, Thickness 2 mm, Offset 0.5), Subdivision, Remesh (Voxel, Voxel Size 0.3 mm), Subdivition (again) and Decimate (Ratio 0.1) modifiers. It allows to add thickness, smooth and simplify it enough to print. Usually I'm fixing errors
