Development
Process
As part of the MSc Medical Art program at the University of Dundee, I used photogrammetry to digitize the wax écorché head sculpture I created in Semester One. The process began by preparing the sculpture for scanning—ensuring consistent lighting, a neutral background, and stability. I captured over 250 high-resolution photographs from multiple angles to create a full 360-degree view of the model. These images were then imported into photogrammetry software, where they were aligned and processed into a detailed 3D mesh.
Process
After generating a clean model, I imported it into ZBrush for refinement. This step allowed me to enhance surface textures, correct any distortions, and adjust the coloration for a more lifelike digital representation. Once finalized, the model was exported and uploaded to Sketchfab, where it could be explored interactively. This project allowed me to combine traditional sculpture with digital techniques, creating a high-fidelity, shareable version of my work for educational and professional purposes.
