Le Petit Prince : maquette

posted in: 3DPrint, costume, sewing, tech | 0

I do my sanity check with a smaller scale maquette.

years of experience tells me that what I model in 3d software is not what I get till I hold in my hand physically. 2d templates and photo reference are already distorted by camera lens and I don’t even know what are the distortion in VR views, unless i’m using a scanned object as a modeling template, I’m not 100% confident what I modeled is what i get. fortunately this one came out very close to what i imagined. the design of this character is so beautiful and delicate, i wish i can carry on in final form.
