The Thing 3d

https://3dtotal.com/galleries/yqnek/the-thing Category : Graphics

A few years ago, I produced a rough about the famous Marvel character, member of the Fantastic four : The Thing.
Time passed by, and although the modeling started, it was stuck due to lack of time. The current quarantine period because of Coronavirus is the perfect time for me to dive in the theme again.
The character has been modeled with Zbrush, and renderer with Maverick Studio with a lot of displacement maps. A great thank you to Erwann from RandomControl who helped me a lot with his advices about Maverick.

3d printing

Category : Graphics

Working on virtual models is fine, but make them real, is much better.
After scanning in 3d a character with a low end 3d scanner, a bit of manual retouch with Zbrush, I've tried to print it in 3d with a 3d printer (Creality CR10-S). The print height is 15 cm and it has been printed in PLA in 0.15mm. A layer of varnish has been applied to erase a little the stratas effect produced by the printer as thin as it is. The print lasted about 24h, and the result is rather faithful to the original model. Only the 3d scanner is pretty approximate by its quality.Nevertheless, it allowed me to roughly catch the basic forms of the model.
An interesting experience in short.
