Tiger Bracelet

[JewelerOne]

I am looking for someone to sculpt a piece of jewelry for me. If someone is willing to help me with this job I have, I would be greatly appreciative. It needs to have a tiger theme to a large cuff bracelet. If you are interested please email me or post a reply. watchmaker@charter.net (treadlife@yahoo.com)

Do you want it sculpted in 3D (virtually) or sculpted for real (world)?

[JewelerOne]

real time I want to 3d print from a stl file and investment cast. I will pay for the modeling.

[RawSunlight]

Sorry, I'm just virtual. Good luck with your search.

[JewelerOne]

if you can sculpt it in zbrush than you could export the file as an stl right? I know Zbrush has that plug in now.

Do you have concept art to see what look its going for?
If yes could you show them here or in a personal message?

[JewelerOne]

hear is the tiger

[JewelerOne]

here is the bracelet. If I could have the tiger sitting across the top this bracelet somehow. Modify the scrolls of course. Tiger laying down, head up, and tail off to the side. Very regal with an established mane. My customer wants to go extreme. Have fun with it is what she told me.

Hi again JewellerOne, sorry I think I'm misunderstanding what you're after.

If you already have a sculpt and are after a means of exporting an stl (so you can get a 3D print), then a 3d converter like polytrans will do the job fine... I don't think ZBrush does it.

If you are after someone to sculpt it for you, post your concept here, I'm sure someone will have a go. If I like the design, I might have a go myself :)

maybe I am not making myself clear. I need someone to take the picture of this tiger as a reference and sculpt him out and then give him a base. In this case the base would be the bracelet. These two images are the two components I have based the design off of or I should say my customer based her design off of. She came in my shop and asked me to make her a tiger bracelet. She wants a tiger sitting on her wrist. The pic of the tiger shows how she would like him to sit on her wrist. The design or concept has not made it to paper, I would like to leave it up to the wax carver or in this case the digital sculptor. I am willing to pay to have the model made. My goal is to basically receive an stl final in the end. I will then print and cast.

interesting request do you have any particular preference how you would like the tiger to be situated on the bracelet or does it really matter.. if you could maybe post a illustration of what your going for so we have more of an idea..;)

[RawSunlight]

2 questions I guess:

Do you have any style indicators, other jewellery references, etc?
And how much are you offering?

thanks

Just checked and you were right - the 3D PRINT EXPORTER plugin for zbrush does export stl files for 3D printing!

Interesting, I would suggest it to be relief sculpted and wrapped around a portion of the bracelet,

I did something similar with a lion on a mug which was then cnc machined in plastic.

This can be done, let me know if you want to continue

[JewelerOne]

Ryme that sounds great. Send me an email to watchmaker@charter.net.

I am working on the bracelet I will render it and post when I am finished.
