RE: Digital sculpture "Imperial bust"

in #art6 years ago (edited)

A interesting work and process - as a "unplugged" artist I am not that well versed with the digital programs out there. I never tried Z-brush but seeing what can be done with it would make me want to try.
As it were, I noodle around in Photoshop and create some digital work, but my studio time is mainly about drawing and painting.
I once tried some program for 3-D (can't remember what it was, lost it on a crashed laptop) but gave up after a while, since I was able to create something much faster and more convincing the old fashioned way. Maybe I didn't try hard enough.
Now here is a thought that strikes me whenever I see such work (and that would be a question as well): can it be cast on a 3-D printer? That would be awesome!

Dear @thermoplastic thank you so much for your long post :) 3d world is not easy..Sometimes some complicated process of 3D modelling and rendering are reminiscent of something esoteric.Anyway is possible to print 99,9999% of any 3d model in many different material..take a look here https://www.dezeen.com/2016/11/29/neri-oxman-design-3d-printed-ancient-death-masks-vespers-collection-stratasys/

That is totally cool, thanks! I know it is difficult, and hard for me to wrap my head around it. Guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but it isn't just that, I am so far backlogged with my unplugged artwork, ideas stacked up and no time to get to them all. But I can appreciate what others are doing in that field, it's just, I need to keep my focus on that which I do best.

Dear @thermoplastic you can take a look at the various tons of tutorial about 3d world on youtube.There also a lots of book for neophyte
