Fresh from the Printers

SculptCAD held an impromptu open house to display the first round of artwork to come back from the printers. On the wall are 3D computer images by (L-R) Bert Scherarth - Building, and Column, Shane Pennington - Tree Top, Brad Ford Smith - Chicken Neck Johnson, 2 more by Bert, Heather Gorham - Rabbit.

The sculptures for the most part were just unpacked, so the artists have not had the opportunity to work on the physical sculptures yet. What you are seeing is the equivalent of a cake that has just been pulled out of the oven. They still need to be frosted. Above is the artwork of  (L-R, B-F) Erica Larkin - Figurative Busts, Brad Ford Smith - CNJ, David VanNess - Bull Elk, Katherine Batiste - Robotic Boy,

Heather Groham - Rabbit

This is one of two rabbit sculptures by Heather. In this one she has painted the plastic resin to give it a soft velveteen outside and a bleached bone white interior.

Rabbit Rapid Prototype

Here is the finished Heather Gorham rapid prototyped hare. It's resin and I've finished it in graphite.
It measures 15" x 17" x 9.

Some Images of Progression

Rapid Artist Heather Gorham shares her piece from beginning to end in digital clay.

"My process involved treating the digital medium much like I would a traditional media such as clay or wax in bronze casting. Digital clay, once you get used to it,  responds and has many of the same sensibilities as real clay, allowing for an interesting juxtaposition between the visceral and the virtual."
