3d print

3D Print by Creative Tools as test for Mindark when investigating possibilities with a z650 zcorp 3d printer. Model By Björn Albihn and tweaks, pose and fixes by me. Really exciting to see how close the zcorp machine gets to the 3d data.

Visiting Creative tools was a really inspiring trip, checking out 3d printers, scanners and laser cutters, a true toy store and fabulous people!! One high light was the really cheap Make A bot 3d printer, a really super cool gadget, a must in every household!!

Tonberry (dark version) + Old Elephant


A little project i started few days ago as a lunch time project trying out dynamesh in zbrush ( like sculpting in clay). Character Design by Joakim Hellstedt made for fortress, found it in his fantastic portfolio, and decided to create it in 3d. 3 hours spend on this little fellow so far. Really sweet creating stuff with dynamesh!! Will post updates asap.! ( Just a screen dump from zbrush )



This was also one of my zbrush exercises made a year ago or so, also a screendump. This was to practise using z- scetch instead of using a basemesh to start from. Made  several african animals like this elephant, a waterbuffalo , raven  and a zebra , partly to practice anatomy. Realized that there is loads of stuff you dont really know about animal anatomy, like elephants not having  fixed amount of toes etc. AS my first z-scetch implies my picture of an elephant probably was closer to Babar than a real one.

Design by Leftovers - Salvador Dali


This is a project i did together with two really cool designers from Stockholm running a company called design by leftovers, I did a 3d sculpt in zbrush based on their ideas inspired from a sculpture made by  Salvador Dali. In some stage some of the process (3d print (  by 3id ), casting)  structure from the 3d model got less visible, considering this was my first 3d print project it might be that some details needs to be exagerated to show properly after printing and casting, thats something to find out for future projects.  This is the first photos of the legs after beeing cast in aluminium. Design by Leftovers at möbel mässan in stockholm:

Mindark Space

Created a Space environment for Entropia Universe. Pfx and tech work for Space arrival and warp travel in the seamless (endless) Mindark space making it possible to travel by warp speed, or really slow ,seamless from planet to planet. Possibility to enter a mothership with smaller spaceships makes it possible to tag along the mothership owners (Available for purchase if you have about 10 000 dollars) and travel safe and fast. Also created the in-game Space squid (hp and design credits to björn albihn) and planets etc. Also credits to Illunova and AMC.
