RAVEN - Vikings 3D Prophecy (SEASON 4 EPISODE 16) - Crossing

myminifactory

Ravens were a potent symbol of war in Viking culture, revered as messengers of Odin himself. It was said that these birds brought him vital information from the earth below, solidifying their connection to the All-Father and his divine power. No wonder they were also known as the Raven God. Just last week, we were granted another opportunity to 3D scan a live animal on set - a raven, to be precise. Scanning live objects comes with its own unique set of challenges, as they are constantly in motion. However, luck was on our side this time around, and the raven remained still long enough for us to capture an exceptional 3D scan. We then took this 3D model into a CAD program, where we performed some much-needed polishing up to ensure it met our high standards. When it came time to bring this digital creation to life, we chose to 3D print the raven in black photopolymer resin using the Form 2 3D printer - its higher resolution was essential for capturing the intricate details of this majestic bird.
