Creation of a Designer Toy from concept thru 3d realization
I was commissioned by Bucky Lastard to create a 3d model of his new character, "Stud", that would serve as a master for molding and casting in resin. He provided me with a standard turn template which I used as a basis for creating a 3d model. I then submitted final geo to my 3d print contractor and received highly detailed 3d pieces that match perfectly with the computer generated version! These will next be used for generating silicon molds, which will be used for casting multiples in urethane resin.
