ƒAtelier FormaDIGITAL SCULPTING STUDIO
SERVICES / 3D MODELING FROM PHOTOS

From your reference images to a considered 3D model.

Bring photographs, sketches, or visual references and commission a custom 3D model. I interpret the subject in three dimensions, refine the form, and prepare the agreed digital files. This is a reviewed modeling service, with personal attention to your project.

What can be modeled from images?

Portrait busts, figurines, sculptural objects, decorative reliefs, and commemorative medals can be developed from suitable references. The first step is checking whether the images explain the form well enough for your intended result. Existing sculptures can also be digitally reconstructed when sufficient reference material is available.

Why multiple views matter

A single photograph does not show the back, depth, or hidden surfaces. Front, side, rear, and three-quarter views help reduce interpretation. Include a known measurement and close-ups of important details. If references are incomplete, I explain the uncertainty and may request more images before confirming the project. Exact likeness or dimensional accuracy cannot be guaranteed from limited photographs.

AI assistance with professional refinement

When appropriate and agreed, AI can provide an initial starting mesh. I inspect the result and correct shapes, proportions, surface artifacts, and topology as needed within the scope. A fully manual digital sculpting workflow is also available. Raw, unchecked AI outputs are not final deliverables.

From a model to a printable file

If you need STL or 3MF files for printing, include the target size, printer process, and material in your brief. Print preparation is agreed separately from visual modeling so wall thickness, small details, and tolerances can be considered. Physical print production is coming soon.
