Snake - Vikings 3D Prophecy - Episode 15 - All His Angels

thingiverse

This week's 3D Prophecy item is a life-like snake created from a live scan taken on set in Ireland. To achieve a precise scan, it was crucial for the object to remain stationary, so we worked closely with an animal handler from the Vikings show to carefully position the snake and keep it still long enough to capture high-quality data. This valuable information was then translated into a stunning full-color 3D model of the snake. We utilized advanced industrial 3D printing technology called color jet printing (CJP) to bring this design to life. Color jet printing works by dropping ink and binder onto a surface of powder, layer by layer, just like a traditional 2D printer. Our main goal was to create a realistic snake that appears as natural as possible. The 3D scanning process helped us accurately capture the snake's shape and color gradient, allowing us to design a highly detailed and lifelike model. Watch the reveal now to see our incredible creation up close. For more amazing projects like this, visit 3D Brooklyn.
