Finally – Octocat by BrianEnigma
The raw materials have been there for some time, but, until now, no one has put them together to create an Octocat!
Listen folks — we love GitHub. We do. We have some repositories where we store files and such, and it’s awesome. But we’re still not sure if it really lives up to its mascot; that’s a high bar to set for yourself, folks. And I think that BrianEnigma just pushed it a bit higher with this mashup.
But seriously — cheers to GitHub for having such a cool service and mascot, and to BrianEnigma and all of our Thingiverse thing-mashers for all their great work.
Octocat is watching you check in your source code.
Based on the popularity of the octopus model here on Thingiverse and the popularity of GitHub among programmers, I figured I would try making a creepy version of GitHub's octocat.
This model is a frankenstein mashup between Bucket o' Octopi thingiverse.com/thing:7900 and The Cat thingiverse.com/thing:1283
Change Log:
Version 2 of this model is the latest and fixes the flat areas found in version 1.
Version 1 of this model has a couple of flat areas in the cat's head. This is entirely due to my Blender skills and a big mistake that occurred early in the process, but wasn't caught until late. It's not noticeable at MakerBot resolutions, but if you were to print this on a fancy professional printer, I'd wait until the next version. There's also a minor problem with the cat's chin being just a bit too much of an overhang for a MakerBot to handle perfectly, but it still looks good after you cut away some of the slop/drool.
