SculptJanuary2021 by Chaitanya Krishnan on Sketchfab

Let me know if you would like to see me print any of these, or refine and put them up on shapeways.

Phone Doodle Creature Face

This daily doodle was done (and live streamed) on my phone, a Lenovo P2, using browser based sculpting tools Sculptgl and Sculptfab (to add it to sketchfab).

See the process below

Undead Cat ABS Print

Had sculpted this undead cat a while back,

Here are the first prints via shapeways


I love shapeways, their quality and range of material options is unrivalled.. but
- their shipping costs sometimes cost more than the cost of the print, and
- the shipments take 2-3weeks to get to my part of the world.

So I got my maker buddy Vincent to see if these files can be printed on one of the printers he has.. heres the first print in ABS from a Prusa -

There are some visible issues with splitting etc.. but the detail is astounding!
I'm very impressed. Took around 6+ hrs with 10% infill.

Here it is after all the cracks glued back and some copper hand painted details

and here it is next to the old shapeways print

If your interested in the original sculpt,
- You can see the making of video here  
- You can view it in 3d here and if you have a printer, you may download the file and have at it.
- If you don't have a printer, you can order a print via shapeways here

Daily Doodle Monster Plant

I suddenly found myself streaming live.. and yet not knowing what to doodle..
So I started googling random stuff and then remembered this old movie - Little Shop of Horrors

So anyway that triggered something and I started modelling it in Blender..

Heres the finished model

Heres a timelapse of the modelling in Blender and then sculpting in Zbrush Core -

And heres a timelapse of my attempt at painting it in Zbrush Core -

Daily Doodle Imperial Walker

Had started to model an AT-AT Imperial Walker from Star Wars.. but never finished it. The original was done in Blender.. but after seeing the models others had done I was a bit intimidated and kept procrastinating .. then I realised that I didn't need to stay true to the original, and could just do my own!.. so as I've always been inspired by HR Giger's biomechanoid aesthetic.. I decided to replicate it here.

Heres the 3d model -

Daily Doodle Hellboy

I had modelled and sculpted a Hellboy bust before in Blender.. but didn't go into too much detail that time..

Heres that old model:

So now that I've been doodling with Zbrush Core, I decided to give it a try again..
Heres the new sculpt. The model was too heavy to load up in sketchfab, so i had to use the optimise for print option under the export menu.

This one was also sculpted on a base mesh created in blender a while back.

Daily Doodle Angel

Decided to focus on a theme.. this was also going to be for a contest at sketchfab. 

Anyway I ran into a maximum polygon limit of 20mil (zbrush has 100mil) 

so..  I never got round to finishing it.
