SNAKE - Vikings 3D Prophecy - Episode 15 - All HIs Angels

The weeks 3D Prophecy item is a life-like snake, meticulously captured in vivid detail through real-time 3D scanning on set in Ireland. To ensure accuracy, it's crucial for your object to remain stationary during the scanning process. Collaborating with an animal handler from the Vikings show, we successfully positioned the snake to stay still long enough for a high-quality scan. This allowed us to translate the captured data into a stunning, colorful 3D model of the serpent. Using cutting-edge full-color industrial 3D printing technology called color jet printing (CJP), we brought the design to life one layer at a time, just like a 2D printer deposits ink and binder onto a surface of powder. Crafting a realistic snake was our top priority, and 3D scanning played a pivotal role in achieving this goal. Not only did it capture the natural form of the snake, but also its intricate color gradient, providing us with invaluable information to create an authentic design.
