Six time Academy Award-winning special effects makeup artist Rick Baker apparently decided to turn his famous Popeye cartoon sailor man into real world object. Rik Baker released photo of his famous Popeye Sculpture, printed on a Makerbot 3D printer and the result is quite impressive.
Hi Guys it has been a while. I haven't been ZBrushing a lot lately but I have been printing some of my old ZTools . Here is a 3D print of my Popeye which I originally modeled 7 years ago. Hard to believe that it's been 7 years. Anyways not quite finished with him I took a photo to see how he was looking and to help decide what more needs to be done to him and thought that I would share it with you.
I printed this on my Maker Bot which I bought recently at a charity event auction. I didn't really expect to be able to get good printouts of my ZBrush models but I figured that it would be fun to play with. I must admit that I am surprised with what you can get with a printer of this price. Mind you I had to do a lot of cleanup,probably should have done more but , still for something in this price range not to shabby. Everything was printed except for the collar and the pipe stem. I'll do a little more work on him and take some better photos.
