Tried DIY silicone moldmaking, using all purpose silicone and corn starch. Fun experiment but too stinky, although details are pretty good for a puddy. People said it smells like vinegar, for me it was like ammonia even the fume hood couldnt handle. 🤢

Amazing detail difference between white beeswax & soy pillar waxes. Soy wins for detailed pieces.
I love the “subsurface scattering” of wax, feels like making game materials 😎

“Old man in the tree” - My first successful candle test without breaking it, cutting the mold open more really helped. The source sculpt/print is next to it. #candlemaking #sculpture #zbrush #3dprinting #molding #cast #art

Working on my 1st candle, it’s so nice to work with non toxic wax. Can anyone recommend a good way to paint a detail wash on wax sculptures?

Printing a new mold box for pillar wax molds, I’m loving soy wax! I’ll post my first wax piece soon.

One of my recent obsessions has been casting using concrete. It’s much easier than I thought and sooo heavy!

Electroplating 3D prints is so fun… this one was in the copper juice for 10hrs. I use copper “rodent control” wire mesh. You can put your objects in like a copper wire bag! #3dprinted #3dprinting #electroplating #copper #art #sculpture

Wow cool! Got a follow by @smoothon.bsky.social You folks make the coolest stuff, been using your products for years. I live in PA, I need to go to your store someday! Thanks for the follow!

Anyone else a massive Dragon’s lair fan? I love my signed Don Bluth Bluray and mini cabs. These games inspired me to go to art school for an animation degree in the 90s. Which wasn’t great timing for hand animation 😜 #dragonslair #donbluth #gaming #retrogaming

Sculpted this little elephant in VR, printed in clear anycubic resin. Its sprayed with a clear coat, next time I want to try a wash of the same resin instead, for shine. Anyone do that?

If you do mold making and casting, 3D printed corner adapters are so great!

Created this insect like mandelbulb fractal. It’s polished graphite paint before electroplating, but I like the gun metal look. What do you think?

This was fun to work on during my Rockstar years! I did environment art, and was R*NE studio AD at the time. I try to get a signed dev copy for each game I’m on.

The natural oxidation on this copper piece is so cool. It showed up over time. It’s a 3D mandelbulb fractal, coldcast copper & resin.

I figured out an easy way to rotate a print while electroplating, using a mouse mover! Makes a huge difference in plating, reducing or eliminating burn spots.
