This 3D-printable American green tree frog (Dryophytes cinereus) on a twig model makes for a stunning display piece. American green tree frogs are a medium-sized New World tree frog species from the family Hylidae. They are common across their range through the south-eastern United States.This model depicts a male in mid-call. As with most frog species, only male American green tree frogs call for the purposes of mating, attracting females and dissuading males from physical fights.The 3D-printable digital file is in STL format. It's scaled to life-size and ready for you to print and paint.This American green tree frog is 42mm long from snout to vent, which is about the average size for a large adult male. The whole model, including the twig, is 128.69mm tall at the default size.
This model was designed in zbrush, decimated to a reasonable filesize (19mb), and the mesh integrity was checked/fixed with netfabb.The model was successfully printed on an anycubic photon in clear resin to allow light to pass through the inflated throat like in a real frog. The model was then painted with acrylics using an airbrush and paintbrush.
Photos of the original completed model are available on the Savi Made website.
