Geralt of Rivia 3d printed figure
Posted: Sat Jan 16, 2021 2:13 am
Geralt of Rivia was a legendary witcher of the School of the Wolf active throughout the 13th century. Along with Yennefer, considered the love of his life despite their tumultuous relationship. Together they took care of their adopted daughter Ciri.
During the Trial of the Grasses, Geralt exhibited unusual tolerance for the mutagens that grant witchers their abilities. Accordingly, Geralt was subjected to further experimental mutagens which rendered his hair white and may have given him greater speed, strength, and stamina than his fellow witchers.
Despite his title, Geralt did not hail from the city of Rivia. After being left with the witchers by his mother, Visenna, he grew up in their keep of Kaer Morhen in the realm of Kaedwen. In the interest of appearing more trustworthy to potential clients, young witchers were encouraged to make up surnames for themselves by master Vesemir. As his first choice, Geralt chose "Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde", but this choice was dismissed by Vesemir as silly and pretentious, so "Geralt" was all that remained of his chosen name. "Of Rivia" was a more practical alternative and Geralt even went so far as to adopt a Rivian accent to appear more authentic. Later, Queen Meve of Lyria knighted him for his valor in the Battle for the Bridge on the Yaruga conferring on him the formal title "of Rivia", which amused him. He, therefore, became a true knight.
Geralt of Rivia is know by many names.
Witcher, Gwynbleidd in the Elder Speech, translated as White Wolf and the Butcher of Blaviken to name a few.
I could dive down this rabbit hole for a very long time but I'll stop here.
Probably the only good casting role in the Netflix adaptation was Henry Cavill as none of the other characters look anything close to the books or games characters.
So this is going to be a 3d printed figure that I printed out on my Elegoo Mars Resin printer. The 3d model was created by Spartak and can be found here

Here are the parts taken off the build plate, printing supports removed and cleaned with denatured alcohol. Ready for more cleaning then painting.
The quilting texture on the pants, the chain mail on the torso and shoulders and the detail in the face is just amazing. 3d printing for hobby use has came along way fast.
Thanks for looking in!
