Infest The Rats' Nest Skull (Official KGatLW 3D Model)

thingiverse

This is the 3D model of the skull thing from the album cover of "Infest The Rats' Nest" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. It was ripped directly from https://kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/ on 8/17/2019 using https://threejs.org/editor/ and Blender 2.8. I wouldn't be surprised if Jason Galea himself made this model for the website (and also marsfortherich.com), or at least it was 3D scanned from the real statue incredibly well. IDK. According to the filename in the original 3D scene, it looks like this is version 5? It's a little low-poly, but [here is a smoothed and cleaned up version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4064764). If anyone has decent 3D sculpting skills, perhaps you could use this as a base, and then add more detail? [Here is a video I made about the smoke effect.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJzn0NkHnLE) The original isn't really printable on a FDM/SLA printer due to the textured bottom, so I made a modified version with a flat bottom, for very easy printing. The flat bottom version has the same dimensions as the original, but it does not feel or look as nice. I have also added a partially flattened version (my favorite) that still has some texture on the bottom, but is still way easier to print than the original version, as a balance between printability and quality. I have included the original three.js scene file, in addition to a GLTF file that blender can load. There is a [standalone HTML file of the website animation](http://bit.ly/ratsnestskull) for archival purposes. Finally, there is a modified three.js scene that can be uploaded to https://threejs.org/editor/ and used as a reference for painting. Enjoy! Update 8/26/2019: Added Blender file used to make looping animation. Here are [the frames with transparency](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1raUltzOZ4HYCjymtahLvDwKZAH5inKnP/view?usp=sharing), and here is [a YouTube video](https://youtu.be/qedkmlR1XT0).
