The Art of Piranesi Resurrected With ZBrush
The theme of the SIGGRAPH 2015 Art Gallery is Hybrid Craft. The idea being to combine the timeless elegance of traditional art forms with modern technology and techniques. One of the works to be featured is Factum Arte’s Piranesi Collection. The collection uses digital tools to resurrect the art of Giovanni Battista Piranesi through 3D printing. ZBrush was used to model each object which were then 3D printed, casted, hand-chased and polished.
