A custom 2D figurine optimized for 1x1 grids in Tabletop Simulator!
Are you tired of the bulky metal base used for the custom figurine model? Do you hate how shiny the base looks or how hard it is to knock over pieces due to its heft? Does it bother you how tiny your image looks when you shrink down the base to fit into a 1x1 grid space?
Well I don't know about you, but after fruitlessly combing through the workshop for an alternative solution, I set out and learned how to model the damn thing myself instead. Now you too can enjoy the fruits of my labor! The main benefit, besides the better-sized figurines for 1x1 grids, is you can set custom textures for the top, bottom, and side of the base. You can even opt to use no textures for the base at all if you simply want an invisible base.
Everything you need to make your own models is included here, so you technically don't need to subcribe, however I'd appreciate it if you drop a comment below. Enjoy!
Oh and feel free to use these in your own mods, just drop me a shout out if you do :D

STEP 1: Use one of the templates below to create your image. I recommend using GIMP or Photoshop to edit the template. When you are done, save the image as a PNG to preserve transparency. There are lots of tutorials online and on youtube if you are unfamiliar with how to use these programs.

STEP 1: Save the default models to your chest.
STEP 2: Whenever you want to create a new model, spawn it from your chest, right click on the model, and click "Custom".
