Photography and 3D Printing are a Perfect Pairįor the best results, take a picture of the desired object and center it in the middle. From there, it’s all in the details from converting 2D data into a 3D file and preparing it for production. And if you can take a picture–you can 3D print that too. If you can make a design or create a drawing, you can 3D print it. That includes 2D imagery like photography, allowing anyone to convert an object into tangible form.īeyond preserving important moments, making a 3D model from photos can serve critical purposes in fields like: Most of us would be hard pressed to find an industry or application that has not been positively impacted by 3D printing.
For example if Warner Brothers commissions me to create a 3D verison of Bugs Bunny, I can't just get it close enough. Such an iconic character needs a *perfect* match in 3D.The merging of two creative realms like photography and 3D printing opens up infinite possibilities for innovation. Or at least match it as close as possible. Sometimes we need to perfectly match 2D art to 3D. It's all part of developing visually interpretive skills. In those courses you'll see me deal with inconsistencies in the art, namely by just getting it close enough. Here's a couple courses where I use that approach: In this case I will set up a camera in a similar position as the art, set the render resolution to match the art, then set the art as the background of the camera. Sometimes you only have a 3/4 view piece of concept art (common for characters). However the situation can be different depending on the project. Very much like the shark sculpt in this course. The goal being to get it close, not perfect most of the time. Most often I will sculpt "by eye" more than using modeling sheets. Over time you will get more comfortable though. Unfortunately this is a more uncomfortable approach than ortho-centric modeling. IN the end it's always going to be viewed this way (never, or at least very rarely in orthographic). Therefore I highly recommend leaning more on perspective view over orthographic. So whenever we lean too heavily on orthos, the "perspective" view (how our human eyes see) the model / sculpture tends to look off. While it would be convenient to sculpt in only ortho views, unfortunately "orthographic" is not how our human eyes see. As you say, chances are very low that symmetry will be perfect in 3/4 view art.
In a practical sense, 3/4 views are always going to be less precise than orthographic views (front, side, top). Hi valbuenajotace! First off, I sincerely appreciate your kind feedback 🙏
