In this project we collaborated with a fine artist to create a foam figure to use as a lightweight base for an epoxy clay sculpture.
The process began in a virtual environment, where we used a posable 3D model to digitally choreograph the relaxed lean the artist envisioned. Once the pose was perfected, we translated the model into the physical world, using double sided 3D milling to carve the life-size figure from foam. This process allowed the artist to experiment with gravity and posture in a virtual space before committing to a final, large-scale physical form.
