released a set of Ogres on his Patreon (

) this month and I decided to give it a go.
WHAT I DID :
The models came in a single big piece and I decided to split it in 4 parts in order to have lower print time with better supports control.
I also hollowed the big chunks (chest and legs) because I feared the thickness could produce some cracks over time.
So I had to create dovetail shape in Zbrush, I used a cube shape.
________
WHAT I LEARN :
When you split a model, even if it look perfect in software, you'll have to use putty to fill joints. Also I'm not sure I gained time usin this method.
Hollowing model is still a good way to prevent cracks and to save previous resin. But at the end of the day, I used more supports so was it worth it ? TBH I don't know, i'm just happy I tried new stuff.
:)
If you want to use dovetail, don't use plain cube shapes. It may be perfect in software, but once you print it it will inflat a bit. Prefer pyramid shape, it will make the assembly easier.
I forgot to add that the stick didn't print well probably because I used auto supports and didn't pay attention to this area. Should be ez to fix with putty also.

I attached Images of my Chitu project as well as final result and settings. Hope you'll enjoy my journey
