A new Sculpy model

A model I started about 2 years ago. I am also painting one of the models built in ZBrush and 3d printed but this one is finished first. The original is Super Sculpy and cast in urethane. Inset shows the original sculpt. Model is 1/4 scale.

I like! Simple as that really, love the sunlight from the window as it really brings the best out in that sculpt. Also it makes a difference to the usual ‘north lighting’ that is used more often.

Heey,nice sculpt! Would make a good G-Kit.:+1:

Absolutly great job…:+1: :+1: :+1:

Thanks guys for comments, I should be working on Scared Silly Challenge instead but… :slight_smile:

Beautiful… and so sexy!! Kudos. Do post something about the printed object too. :+1:

Edit: I just saw your website. You seem to have the most awesome job in the world! All that creativity and technical stuff… drool…

David…

A very impressive web site and work.

Do you know if there is a way or a service bureau that can take a 3d file straight to resin for mold-making and casting? I’ve done the budget 3d print thing (ZCorp) and have had one of those made into resin, but I would prefer to go directly to the mold from the 3d file if that was possible. It would be a better way to keep detail that gets lost in the print process.

thanks.

Plakkie, thanks. I will post some shots of the printed girl when she is painted. re: the job, yes it is interesting as are the people in the industry.

Nate, I’ve seen your site before. You asked about going “straight to the mold”. I presume the production molds are RTV rubber and the figures are cast resin, I have watched the process when I worked in Hong Kong. You can print at a very fine resolution with wax as a master which is much easier to tool smooth than resin. Did you mean go to a cavity mold or were you refering to a master positive?

Actually, I was hoping to produce an .stl file or .vrml file (or whatever is required) that could be used directly (probably to make a master positive - or the cavity mold). I would only supply the 3d file and rely on the bureau to produce from there to the resin reproductions… looking for the finest detail possible under those conditions.

If you refer to my dealings with the figurines in China, the company I was working with on those projects had me working directly with sculptors (I’m not one) who sculpted clay masters based on my drawings and direct input.

I was hoping to find a process that would take it in these steps:
3d computer file = master positive (or mold) = resin reproductions.
This would avoid the sculpting - in effect giving me a direct route to the master/mold. As I said, I am not a sculptor - just an illustrator.

I would think by now there would be figurine production capabilities that could take it from the file to the final resin figurines (using whatever mold or master required) which would be the end product.

---- I have done some sculpy work, but you wouldn’t want to see it :o

thanks

Nate, you just need a top quality 3d print- cleanup- make molds for production. An Eden printer would give you minimal clean-up. Scott’s model is a good example. http://www.pixolator.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=052346
Why don’t you call Gental Giant.

I have a shot which shows the front geometry of the model. :slight_smile:

Hi,

You might try http://www.tekprogroup.com/. They are tight with the Shade community.

Funny picture, after staring a minute at it, I can see a gun and a helmet with my peripheral vision…

PS:All 3D printers I tried sucked for different reasons. None has been useless, but all have major drawbacks in one or the other aspect of quality, speed, and/or material.

Now I see you started with a couple of spheres. :wink:

What you mean there is more to it than breasts!!? :o I blame perspective lol… really …honest… :lol:

'I can see it now… ‘globe sculpting for beginners’ with 900 pages of full color illustrations. :smiley:

Wayne…

I had to use the last two blocks of Sculpy somehow. :slight_smile:

Very cool! Great work. :+1:
