To find balance in our lives, we need a cornerstone that holds up every part of who we are and what we do. Without it, we will never know true happiness.

Clay Modeling

Based on the final drawing, a clay sculpture is made to create a three-dimensional model. At this stage the scale and shape are refined, and the result is an organic, handmade sculpture.

Photogrammetry

Once the clay model is finished, it is scanned in 3D to get an identical digital replica, with no errors of scale, shape or missing detail.

3D Modeling

After digitization, the mesh is modeled to fix any scanning errors and to add details that were impossible to create in clay. Finally, it is textured and presented in a CGI environment.
