Tell me more about Terrainify. I want to help craft a better description of it, so fill me in on its purpose and what kind of work you've done for it.

MichaelSefranek commented 7 years ago

In early 2015 John Casiello and I were buddies who played an assortment of board games and tabletop games. John had a skill set to make realistic looking miniature gaming terrain similar to expensive contracting websites: http://bit.ly/2nGUJ4H . He wanted to "copy-paste" by scanning real models and fully finish 3D printed copies. I analyzed that he could probably skip time and steps of expensive 3D scans by designing the 3D models from scratch. He was doubtful and unwilling to learn this new skill, so to prove it was simple I created my first 3D model using trial software over the next few days. By removing the additional cost of that extra step, it sped up his business idea, and I continued to collaborate with him through the whole process of designing models, and forging the company. In January 2016 John quit his job to do Terrainify full-time, and my involvement has declined since Code School. For the most part I have basically fully designed all 3D models over the last year and a half for 3 different terrain sets, our entire product line right now. I also fix his broken printers, both just through tinkering and through communication with customer support, ordering and researching part numbers. I could probably keep typing more and more about this. We discuss a lot of logistics on implementation and launching. What type of marketing to use, how to attract people, spread word naturally through social media, what next steps to take, how to improve the product. It's hard to quantify my part of this more than just 3D modeling and repairs, since the rest is a lot of brainstorming, which I love, and I can't the amount of times John has told me he values my input.

Just saw you closed this. Do you not want any thoughts on the Terrainify description? (It's fine either way--just trying to understand.)
