Paint and Print Easter Eggs with Shapeways and Sketchfab!

April 1, 2015

It’s almost Easter, which means people are getting ready to paint some eggs. Last year we partnered with Sketchfab for a fun contest, and we’re doing the same this year!

You don’t need to be an experienced designer to join in on the fun. Just visit Sketchfab’s Egg Painter app, paint on the egg with your mouse and save the model to your Sketchfab account. From there you just need to share it with the world! Get as many views/likes/comments/etc. as you can.

How the Egg Painter works:

• Visit the Egg Painter app. Use your left mouse button to paint on the egg, and click and hold your right mouse button to look around your egg and reach other parts.
• While painting, you can select different brush sizes and colors with the Radius, Intensity, and Color options.
• When your egg is ready, click the ‘Publish to Sketchfab’ button and log in to your Sketchfab account. It will automatically be tagged with #Easter2015

Contest rules:

• Paint your egg with the Egg Painter. No external tools are allowed.
• After saving, share it on Facebook and Twitter to get more views (more views and likes = better chance of winning a 3D print!).
• Enter as many times as you’d like!
• Contest ends on Wednesday, April 8th at 12 p.m. EST.
• Winners will be announced on Thursday, April 9th.

Happy “painting!”
