Octocat
Description
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.

Nice. Very lovable.
It's probably a good idea for everyone to watch the Octocat series on YouTube by David O'Reilly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Just a note, but you have this listed as Non-commercial. The Bucket O' Octopi that you have derived this from is Share-Alike. As far as I know you cannot list this as Non-commercial as it violates the Share-Alike license. You can see the Share-Alike info here: http://creativecommons.org/lic...
The line "Share Alike â If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one." is what is in violation.
You know, I wasn't paying super-close attention to the original licenses when I picked one for this. Thanks for pointing that out to me. The octopus is just share-alike, but the cat is non-commercial. Given those two differences, I am really not 100% sure how this derivative is supposed to be classified. Though given only the Octopus and not the Cat is share-alike, I guess I should follow the Octopus license.
It should surely go on this page: http://octodex.github.com/
I still haven't worked out why their octocat has only five legs... or is it four legs and an octo-tail?
By the way, Kliment made also an Octocat some times ago http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/...
Give http://meshmixer.com a try. It's great for making mashups and you could use the smooth function to take care of that flat side and to pull out the chin a little to reduce the overhang.
Wow, all that and not a single James Bond reference. I'm hoping it's a simple oversight and not because you're too young and hip to know what I'm talking about. It WAS all the way back in 1983...
