From Sketches to a 3D Print!
How we Created a Toy-Prototype using Maya, ZBrush and a 3D Printer
Premise
This is a diary of the process and techniques I used to bring to live a toy design for a good friend of mine,
Jon Kinyon (
www.jonkinyon.com.) His Project, “
OddJobs” (
www.jonkco.com) is a T.V. series he is developing based on a line of toys he is making - synergy people, SYNERGY!...
What I want to show is the intricate process of creating a toy, from the “interpretation” of the
Concept Design(s):
...Through sculpting in ZBrush, to then exporting a .STL file to a Service Bureau - I used
Purple Porcupine, in Irvine California, to produce these amazing “prints” in a matter of hours... both the 4” and the incredibly detailed 1 1/2”:
So stay tuned for designs, turntables and pictures of the whole process!...
Cheers!
