"Facing" Your Fears
Sarah thought of this idea to have people 'face' their fears 'head' on by showing them through a mask. Unlike common masks that are supposed to hide, these ~reveal~. Overall, the mask is an impression of their fears. Therefore, after printing, I'll be painting the masks in a painterly way, similar to the Impressionism movement, just to show that this is only my interpretation of a quick snapshot of someone's fears.
Goals
Learning how to model for 3D printing
Becoming more familiar with the 3D printing process
Learning the processes involved in 3D scanning
Coming up with creative, original ideas to personify people's monsters in ways that haven't been done before
Process
3D scanning someone's face using Photo-geometry (Program: Regard3D) and measuring their face
Interviewing that someone about their biggest fears/monsters
Creating the face through Library Scanning Service then slicing it through Maya
Previously used program was Regard3D, but the library's is better
Import into Zbrush to distort face with the interviewee's fears/monsters
Export as a file suitable for 3D printing (.stl or .obj)
Print distorted face life-size on the big printers, a Taz 5 (more reliable than the medium sized printers and will fit a life sized face better on its bed, but downside = longer wait) so it can be worn as a mask
Finish off the print (maybe sanding it/painting it)
Tada! A creepy, form fitting mask made specifically for an individual
