3D printing of a real-life scale T-rex skeleton, created in VR with Shapelab!

Hey Shapelab community,

We wanted to inform you of this fantastic project by Simon Clark, aka Topgunsi. He is an artist who creates realistic 3D models from insects to animals and, most importantly, dinosaurs! His workflow mainly comprises VR tools, and he uses Shapelab for most of the sculpting and painting process!

His biggest ongoing project is a life-size print of a T-rex skeleton, a massive 3D printing job, resulting in a 4-meter tall (about 13 ft) dinosaur!

He was recently featured in UploadVR; you can read the article and watch the interview conducted in his VRChat museums here: [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
