10 ft Swan Sculpture

10 ft Swan Sculpture: Digital Fabrication by AMAXiMAL

A client brief that arrived as a single reference image: a glazed ceramic swan. The image is turned into a point cloud, the point cloud into a 10 ft swan mesh, and the mesh is then planned for the shop: 4 in foam slices, cut into mirrored halves on the centre seam, around a 3/4 in plywood armature. The view runs that whole pipeline: image, points, mesh, glowing slice planes, the foam layers and plywood exploded apart, every foam block and ply part nested onto its 8×4 ft sheet, then the swan reassembled from the sheets.
