OpenForge Resources

2024/02/14 - Refreshed Dropbox link

The old link was allowing editing and as a result a patron deleted some files out of the dropbox.  No harm was done, and I've restored the files, but I did generate new links: OpenForge/OpenForge.Rename (They are also updated below)

2023/03/21 - Pro Acryl Discounts

Over the past year, I've become pretty enamored of Pro-Acryl paints.  They've become my primary paint for miniatures, and increasingly I've been using them for details or really anything other than the main base coat for my terrain/tiles.

So I reached out to them and asked if there was a way to get a discount for the OpenForge community, cause you know, never hurts to ask.  Well, they got back to me, and agreed to give me one.  If you want to give them a try, I secured a 10% discount for the community.

2023/02/27 - USB Flash Drives

We’re offering the entire OpenForge collection through 12/2022 on a single USB stick in our online store, Masterwork Tools. It’s $35 for about 1400 unique designs. All designs remain available here on Patreon and on Thingiverse and MyMiniFactory, but this is a nice convenience if you don’t want to spend all that time downloading files. Use the code PATREON23 at checkout for free shipping on anything in our store.

2020/08/28 - updated links, added OpenForgeZips, renamed main folders to be less confusing.

I decided to use the start of the new year to reorganize some of the links that will help all of you find the things you need, and I've made a few new resources as well.

First off, we have the new OpenForge Tile Tree.  You can think of this as something like the tech tree in many video games, where it shows the full breadth of an OpenForge tile set, and the order in which releases are unlocked.

Next we have the OpenForge Tile Inventory.  This spreadsheet contains every set (I'll be updating it over the next few days to make sure I'm not missing anything), with links to the Thingiverse entry.  It also will tell you the sizes we have, what connection systems the tile supports, if it will be supported in the future for updates, and if it is currently up to date with all current standards.

Following that, we have the OpenForge Vote Tally.  Here you can see what tile was selected for the vote for each month, as well as the current vote tally for each set/tile.  As a reminder, the " Which Standard Set " and " Which Thick Wall Set " is used to select the set to update that month, and then the votes inside the set are used to select the tile.  Because of this, for the sets that get fewer updates (say like Rough/Ruined stone), the vote totals on specific tiles can be very large compared to those that get upvoted for updates more often (such as Dungeon Stone).

Finally, we have our Dropbox/Sync links.  OpenForge/OpenForge.Rename (I'm in the process of migrating files to a universal naming scheme with files being migrated from OpenForge.Rename into OpenForge) contains all the tiles that we currently support, sorted for (hopefully) easy access.  There are still many tiles from older sets to be moved into OpenForge, some which need minor tweaks (Rough/Ruined Separate Wall for example) and some that need a major overhaul (Sewers).  OpenForge is so large, that Sync chokes if you try and download it all at once.  To help getting everything, I've created OpenForgeZips.  You will want to download the zips one by one to keep Sync from choking on it.  For downloads of individual releases and browsing, OpenForge is still the right place.

As time has gone on, some experiments have not proven to be worth continuing.  You can find the things I no longer support (such as the old Tudor set that has been superseded by Towne), you can find all those tiles in OpenForgeDeprecated (Dropbox *).

Finally, access to the parts and pieces I use to make tiles is available on request.  The only reason I don't share this automatically, is that it's *HUGE*, and so a lot of people downloading it at the same time can cause me to go over limit on Dropbox, cutting off Dropbox access for everyone for the rest of that day.

I've just regenerated the links to OpenForge and OpenForgeDeprecated.  I do that from time to time as people leave the patreon.  In the future, I will update this post (and send a notification) every time I regenerate the links.

* IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ

Please do not download the entire folders from Dropbox.   Either folder is larger than the maximum amount of bandwidth that Dropbox offers per day.  If you want to download everything, use the zip links, which are updated monthly.

Changes

• 2023/04/19: Dropbox links regenerated.  They got exposed on facebook, so I needed to regenerate them. Please don't post these links on social media, I have a daily limit, so more people using them will damage patron access.

• 2023/01/27: Added blurb about the OpenForge USB Stick.

• 2021/07/20: Sync was a fail.  I've removed sync and returned to dropbox, and added the zip links.

• 2020/08/28: Renamed OpenForgeSupported to OpenForge and OpenForgeUnsupported to OpenForgeDeprecated because that can be confusing now that producing models with print supports has become common.  I also regenerated the links for the two of them because it's been a while.
