Recently me and the kids watched Flow and it got me thinking about Capybaras and I remembered I have a bunch of these in my backlog. I was looking for a fun and quick model to whip together today and this came to mind. Most of the form was already done by the AI so I just added fur textures and sculpted the signature bored/tired look.
You can't have a Capybara model without also making versions that are rideable so I borrowed my setup from my horse and unicorn models for these at the 50mm scale for a 25mm character and at the 25mm scale for a 20mm character. Someday I'll try to sculpt a harness rig and maybe make another pass on these. Giant Capybaras are definitely pack horse material.
I didn't include a 10mm version for tiny a 20mm Capybara mount but IF you need this for your campaign for a Fairy or other tiny character let me know and I can make that too.
For FDM printing these are really simple models so you should be able to print them straight up on the build plate. Resin print should be similar with auto supports but just make sure for the 50mm version that your supports are thick enough. You may want to look at hollowing the model too to avoid using too much resin.
