Artistic Anatomy, Digital Sculpture and Visual Effects

ballerina maquette

clay maquette for a ballerina sculpture

Here is a comp of a small maquette I put together as a test for an upcoming project. It is loosely inspired by the ballerina sketch in the Drawings section. I am not  happy with the concept just yet, but time permitting, you may see a full version of this piece executed sometime in the new year. Happy Holidays.

final photos…

Here are photographs of the figure sculpture from my Tate Modern lecture.

Material: marble resin with iPod
Size: life-sized

Images of the casting process can be seen here

Bits to Atoms, the life-sized sculpture

Here are a few images of my latest sculpture, shown in clay above, which I unveiled during my lecture at the Tate Modern on “Bit to Atoms - The Process and Evolution of Digital Sculpture“. During the lecture I talked about the process of making the piece - first creating a digital maquette in Zbrush to establish the balance, weight, and proportions of the figure, and then using that digital data (shown below) as a guide for constructing the full-sized figure sculpture in clay. Here are a few views of the digital maquette and a timelapse of the clay construction.

Sculpture Casting Gallery

I recently added a gallery showing a few images from the process of casting the Bits to Atoms sculpture in bonded marble. Click the image to go to the gallery. Also check out the timelapse movie at the end of this post to see the construction of the clay model.

Out of the Kiln

Phil is finally out of kiln and photographed in the studio with some decent lighting.
