Here is a model from our archives. Developed By Bin Li, |
|
this epic model prints beautifully at Z18 scale. |
|
|
|
We asked Bin Li a few questions about his background and |
|
process. |
|
|
|
Can you describe your journey as a designer - how did you |
|
get started and what motivated you? |
|
|
|
The journey started late. In fact I didn't start art |
|
training until college, where I was studying computer |
|
science around 2005. But then weird enough, a close |
|
encounter with drawing and painting opened up a whole new |
|
world to me. I decided to be an artist to create and to |
|
fulfill my vision. 3D Animation and Games was the fuel of |
|
my passion, that's why I went to Ringling College of Art |
|
and Design to study Computer animation. Since that, I |
|
worked as a 3d modeling and designing artist. |
|
|
|
|
|
What was the creative process like for this model? |
|
|
|
It started as eagerness to create something with power |
|
and impact. I pitched an idea of a prehistory creature |
|
and a journey on a ship, using a classic book in the |
|
public domain as an example. |
|
|
|
After that, everything went smoothly. I re-read the book, |
|
gathered visual reference and other images of existing |
|
designs. Explored a few sketches of a new designs of the |
|
submarine and the squid first, then did more sketches of |
|
the overall composition and pose of the sculpture. After |
|
the 2d sketches were approved, I started 3d Sculpting. |
|
From rough to refined, until things were finessed and |
|
ready to print. |
|
|
|
Any background on why you chose this model? |
|
|
|
I enjoy doing creatures. Hard surface model is a lot of |
|
fun as well. So this one is a good mix. |
|
|
|
Describe any challenges you had in getting a successful |
|
print (tricks of the trade)? |
|
|
|
The pose of the tentacles and waves gave some trouble. |
|
They had to be modified a few times after test prints. |
|
|
|
What advice do you have for someone interested in |
|
designing 'one piece' prints? |
|
|
|
Test print in early stage so problems don't come near the |
|
deadline. |
|
|
|
Thanks Bin Li! |
