Model Background

Is started with an idea - 3D printable Thanksgiving decorations. But how to make a realistic looking cooked Turkey? First, ask ChatGPT go generate a realistic image of a roast turkey on a blank background with nothing else. Second, use Makerworld's Image2Model AI. The results were amazing - but huge ~50 megs. MeshLab was able to reduce the geometry complexity with ease. Last, a little light model clean up for 3D printability, and the result was  amazing! From there, the platter and modular peg system was designed in Tinkercad.

Filament
