They do stress that users can’t use their creations on a commercial level, however. The different sliders do need a lot of tweaking in order to balance everything and create a face, but its super fun, especially when RML encourages users to share their creations with each other. You can create a wide range of faces, here are two I created myself, which both look very different. It doesn’t run in Google Chrome, but it works with most other browsers. Here’s the link to the program, which requires unity web player and a browser to run. You don’t have to pay anything to use the program, so I’ve already had a go at creating my own dream doll. RML allows customers to model their own doll face using a user-friendly program, print the 3D modelled face, finish, paint and then assemble the face and body into a full doll.Ī user friendly program called ‘RML 3D FACEMAKER’ presents you with a list of facial features which you can manipluate using a sliding bar which you can select and scroll side to side with a computer mouse or touchpad. However the levels customisation these dolls already offer just isn’t enough to some, as that perfect face shape can often be just out of reach. sculpt: Kids Sky Moonstone, credit to Lydia Mahon More common sizes include 1/6 scale (around 27cm), 1/4 scale (around 45cm), 1/3 scale (around 60cm) and larger (70cm +). They even come in a wide range in sizes, from as small as under 10cm, to over a metre tall. These resin BJDs allow you change their eyes, hair, how the face is painted, and body parts can even be mixed and matched depending on the owners requirements to help create the perfect doll for them. Sculpt: Ringdoll Andrew, credit to Lydia Mahon The ‘custom’ element of these dolls is what brings many people into the hobby (as well as them being super pretty and cool to look at) and ‘custom’ products are becoming more and more widely produced on 3D printers.
However, this doesn’t stop doll hobbyists from collecting them, painting them, developing characters and making accessories. Most are cast in resin and finished by hand, before being professionally painted, which is why they come with quite a hefty pricetag. One doll community which is starting to feel the force of 3D printing in particular, is the Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) community.Ī BJD is a doll which features ball joints, and is strung together with elastic cord. Obviously anything doll-related may not be something to associate with dreams for some, but there are communities of doll collectors that are larger than you’d initially think.
