I'm back after a long summer break

I have been a busy bee over the summer, learning how to use 3D sculpting technology.

With one of the commissions I was working on, I got really ambitious and gave myself a complex, detailed project which I had limited knowledge on.

I suggested to my client about me doing another Titanic Debris Field diorama of one of the cherubs which was recovered.

I started by finding a OBJ file of a baby angel, then exporting it over to a modelling software called Nomad on my Ipad, from there I continued to manipulate and position the sculpture.

I'd then cut, re-mesh, sculpt then rinse and repeat.




Above is some reference photos I had to dig out and request from historians and researchers.


When It comes to learning new things I get quite stubborn and prefer to learn it myself without being shown, just because I cant be dealing with YouTube tutorial videos plugging adverts, associates, bad description etc. no patience for it at all.


Above you can see the file as it was being created and the final pictures.


I then transferred the file as a STL. file which I could 3D print using my resin printer.



Above is the finished print, featured in the requested situation.


After I uploaded this image to a Titanic page on Facebook, I received a interest from someone who runs a traveling Titanic Exhibition. He asked if I could make it 1:1 scale for his exhibition.

This request required me to print this piece using my Filament printer and to be printed in sections. The print in total took 59 hours. This didn't include assembly, filling in layers, sanding, priming, painting, weathering and sealing.




-Please ignore the horrific state of my home studio-



Above is the finished piece.


Here are the pictures I was sent by the client of the piece on display.




From the client receiving the 1:1 scale replica, they requested 20 miniature versions of the cherub which can be sold in their gift shop.

What do I do Next?

I am going to continue with playing around with blender and start making other animations and renders, I might move away from the sheet...
