Shiva Sclupture

thingiverse

This Shiva is a copy of a friends stone Shiva using photogrammetry. I took 75 photographs from different angles using a simple turntable, good lighting and black background. Also used light colored face paint (easy to wash off), streaked with a brush onto the original statue to accentuate details and aide the software.Then imported photos into 3DZephyr and processed them, creating a point cloud with fine setting. After that created a obj mesh and exported to Zbrush to smooth and clean up. Then sliced with Simplify 3d and transferred to Anycubic Kossel Delta printer. You need a fast computer and a good graphics card. There are a lot of details and choices you need to figure out in the work path. Lots of experimenting and improving the process to get a decent model. 3dZephyr is a good starting point and they offer a free version that can do up to 50 photos. The "Shiva 1 final no lines.obj" file has no lines on the forehead. I painted the final 3d print with gold acrylic paint, it looks great.
