Bring classic fantasy wisdom to your world with the Elderfolk Fantasy Collection — a set of four high-detail, stylized elder characters designed for storytelling, tabletop scenes, dioramas, and display pieces. Each model has a distinct silhouette and personality: from a robed archmage to a rune-marked elder, a horned hermit, and a whimsical fae-eared trickster.

These models are AI-assisted 3D creations refined with artist-guided creativity and cleanup to improve shapes, materials, and overall presentation. Think of it as a collaboration: AI helped generate the base forms, and a human artist directed the look, character identity, and finishing details so the set feels cohesive and premium.

3D DESIGN CONCEPTConcept goal: “Ancient wisdom, distinct silhouettes.”This collection focuses on strong readable shapes (robes, belts, beards, horns/ears) and a unified fantasy vibe. Each character is designed to feel like they belong in the same world while still being instantly recognizable:

1. Verdant Archmage – classic robe + chain, calm authority
2. Desert Rune Elder – grounded stance + rune markings, mystic guardian energy
3. Horned Forest Hermit – rugged minimal outfit + horns, primal wilderness sage
4. Fae-Eared Trickster – exaggerated ears + lean form, mischievous folklore spirit

INCLUDED FILE FORMATS (easy-to-use)You can offer these common formats for different workflows:

• FBX – best for animation pipelines and DCC apps
• OBJ – universal static mesh format
• GLB (glTF) – great for web, real-time previews, AR/VR viewers
• STL – standard format for 3D printing

Premium illustration

• JPG/JPEG preview images (Compression quality 95/100)

Visual storytelling media

• Cinematic 360-degree showcase video (captivating 5-second turntable)
• Animated GIF (quick looping preview)

3D PRINT SETTINGSThese are practical starting points that work well for character figurines. Adjust based on your printer and desired scale.Recommended scale

• Tabletop size: 75–120 mm height
• Display size: 150–250 mm height

Resin printing (best for detail)

• Layer height: 0.03–0.05 mm
• Supports: medium density; add heavy supports under feet + any overhangs (beard tips, horns/ears)
• Orientation: tilt 25–35° to reduce suction and preserve facial/beard detail
• Wall thickness: keep solid or ≥ 1.5–2.0 mm if hollowing
• Hollowing (optional): 2.0–3.0 mm walls + 2 drain holes near the base

FDM printing (best for durability, larger sizes)

• Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm (0.2 mm for finer detail if available)
• Infill: 10–15% for small models, 15–25% for larger
• Supports: “tree supports” recommended for beards/horns/ears
• Orientation: upright usually works; rotate slightly to reduce support scarring on the face

Post-processing tips

• Light sanding on support contact points
• Primer helps the beard/face details pop
• Dry brushing is great for fantasy characters (robes + hair)Helpful note: Because these are stylized high-poly characters, results look best when printed at larger sizes or with resin, especially for hair/beard texture.

TARGET AUDIENCE + AGE GROUP + THEME CATEGORIESTarget audience:

• Business: game studios, tabletop sellers, content creators, 3D print shops, marketing teams needing fantasy character visuals

• Educational (character design + 3D printing practice)
• Seasonal: optional fit for Halloween / fantasy events (if marketed as spooky folklore variants)

AI DISCLOSUREThese models are AI-assisted 3D: AI 3D generators helped form the initial base, and the final look was shaped through artist direction, selection, and refinement to ensure cohesive style and presentation.
