Alien board game 3D PRINTS

Making Of / 23 June 2022

I'm uploading this little project as a side blog as I'm not sure exactly where could I categorize it in my 3D generalist profile. A few months back a person from this community in artstation contacted me after seeing a 3D sculpt I had of a hammerpede inspired by the movie Prometheus. I already had this model as an Obj so I just sent it to him and a few days later he showed me some 3d composition to print. It gave me also a heads up for myself to try it out at home with a 3d printer and this was the start.

He wanted the sculpt for 3D printing for a board game and after that he kept in tough for certain sculpts that he needed to be made from scratch. I never did anything related to 3D printing at all and the project sounded very very interesting indeed, so I decided to give it a go and worked on some commisions when I had a bit of free time. This where some of the deliveries that I made for his project.

Alien Door

The comission for the door was to replicate the same pattern as the door that can bee seen in the movie. This aproach was quite interesting becuase it has an hybrid between zbrush sculpting and using substance alchemist to extract a displacement texture from a photo to create the pattern as near as the original as possible. The result bas quite succesfull in my opinion.


Abominations

The abominations where sculpted from scratch in zbrush. This project was very cool as we needed to create different poses to make different figures from the same character which gave a really cool look of variety. I also learned with this some challenges to have to endure when sculpting for 3D printing like not tu make things very thin or they would snap.


Trilobite

The trilobite was the secont object after the print of the hammerpede. It was a lot of fun to work with all the different tentacles and the worst challenge was to thing after of a dynamic pose that would make the creature look threatening!
