A Bit About GDM Originals
GDM Originals is a 3D creative company specializing in low-poly, animation and game-ready character designs. We are passionate about the 3D industry and are constantly learning new skills and techniques to make our work better.
​
We've spent the last couple of years in collectible art toy production, so have a particular affinity with 3D printing. With that in mind we have created a 3D Library filled with base models and assets that are print ready.
​
We are currently a team of one, but are looking to expand in the future.
​
We are constantly creating new sculpts for the 3D Library, so check back often or follow us on IG to stay informed.
