Rounded support
A soft circular profile works well for figurines and compact character models.

How it works
- 1.Describe the base you have in mind or choose an example above
- 2.Continue to the studio and explore the tools available for your model
- 3.Review the result and choose from the studio’s available output options
Start with a direction
A base should support the model, not compete with it.
Choose a shape that follows the model's footprint, leaves room for the details that matter, and gives the final object a stable presentation surface.
Exact footprint
A shaped plinth keeps architectural and mechanical models balanced at the edges.
Print-ready finish
A clean transition and sturdy lower edge help the finished object sit reliably.
A clearer workflow
From a floating mesh to a finished object.
Think through the support as part of the model. A good base gives the silhouette a place to land and makes the result easier to present, review, and prepare for fabrication.
- 1Describe the intent.Mention the object, the viewing angle, and the kind of support you want.
- 2Check the footprint.Keep the base wide enough for the model without hiding its important details.
- 3Continue to the studio.Use the next step to explore the available tools for your 3D model.
For many kinds of models
Give every silhouette a grounded presentation.
Characters and collectibles
Use a calm, sturdy plinth to make the pose and silhouette easy to read.
Vehicles and hard-surface work
Follow a technical footprint with a thinner support and clear edge definition.
Ideas to explore
Start from an object you already understand.
The right base depends on the object above it. Compare a few different shapes before choosing the direction that fits your model.
