                  Is it a head in a block or just a blockhead.

                      No, it is solid. It's basically a topographic map of the head. Same basic idea as a 3d terrain.

                        So is each pane etched with the contour?

                        Really cool project.

                          Yep, there are 100 layers per figure, each with the contour line plus acid shading. The shading isn't in the samples.

                              Not the best quality image as it's only a phone photo.
                              We've been working the contours to add detail, it seems to be coming together nicely.

                                What app are you using? Hats off if it's SU. Looks like a dense mesh.

                                  wow, very cool! Will the contours be closer together (relative to the shapes) in the full version? The contours are a bit distracting imo in the block head.

                                    Yes. Block head was a low res sample.

                                      Rich, we are jumping around various programs to get the data sliced, diced and tweaked. And one of the most rediculous things is we still need to move it all to an XP pc as the laser software still hasn't moved with the times.
                                      I did once import the male figure obj into SU, it took more than 24 hours. It would orbit but anything else was impossible.

                                          Pop over to Sydney before December and you can see it in process and enjoy an amber fluid or two. You would also see who Box is in reality.

                                            I'd like that. Don't think my boss would let me get away from work, though.
