Infest The Rats' Nest Skull (Official KGatLW 3D Model)

thingiverse

This is the 3D model of a skull from an album cover, specifically "Infest The Rats' Nest" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. It was downloaded directly from https://kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/ on August 17, 2019 using threejs.org/editor and Blender 2.8. I wouldn't be surprised if Jason Galea himself created this model for the website or at least it was 3D scanned from a real statue incredibly well. The exact origin of the model is unknown. According to the filename in the original 3D scene, it looks like this is version five. It's slightly low-poly but [here is a smoothed and cleaned up version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4064764). If anyone has decent 3D sculpting skills, they might use this as a base and add more detail. [Here is a video I made about the smoke effect](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJzn0NkHnLE). The original model isn't really printable on an FDM/SLA printer due to its textured bottom. To solve this problem, a modified version with a flat bottom was created for easy printing. This modified version has the same dimensions as the original but doesn't feel or look as nice. A partially flattened version has also been added that still has some texture on the bottom but is easier to print than the original. The files included are the original three.js scene file, a GLTF file that can be loaded into Blender, and a standalone HTML file of the website animation for archival purposes. There's also a modified three.js scene that can be uploaded to https://threejs.org/editor/ and used as a reference for painting. Update August 26, 2019: A Blender file used to make looping animations has been added.
