Russ 3D Hybrids

Yet again I forgot to take a picture before I started putting the textures on, so below is an image of the car with primer and the top texture. Just imagine that this is a photo of the car with just primer on it.

The next step was to prepare the textures for printing. To do this I rendered the car from the front, back and left (the left can be flipped to make the right) with an orthographic projection view to remove any perspective. I measured the real life model to get the measurements correct. Below is the texture template I created.

The final step was to apply the textures to the model. To do this I used the rest of the papier mache glue from before. However the water in the glue made the ink run a little bit so it became a bit messy. Also my measurements didn’t line up particularly well, but it looks pretty cool. Below is the final result compared to the digital original.

There you have it, virtually indistinguishable. Above is the original digital model and below is the finished 3D print out (or is it the other way round?). And it only took me four days!
