Amazing Angry Bear Wall Light!
Hi, in this article we want to tell how we made this beautiful wall llight. You can take a look at the video presentation as well as at the photos below. We managed to achieve thishis amazingly beautiful effect when lighting the sculpture from the inside. This is a great solution for your home or public place decoration – in daylight our bear head is a detailed white sculpture of a wild animal, and in the darkness it turns into a beautiful night light.
How we started creating bear sculpture
Above all we started by creating a highly detailed digital sculpture of the head of a Brown Bear (grizzly bear). Pay attention to the fine details of the sculpture – a ferocious eyes, wide open mouth, teeth, tongue, and detailed fur of the wild beast. Thereafter we just printed the bear 3d model using a 3d printer. We needed to cut the model and print it by parts, therefore we glued the parts together to get the large sculpture. In this way we got a master-copy of the model for making an mold for urethane resin casting.
Angry bear silicone mold creation
The next step is to create a silicone mold for rotational casting. The way to get a lightweight sculpture is using Rotational casting. Below you can see the stages of creating a thin-walled silicone mold fixed in a hard shell. We used thixotropic (brushable) silicone rubber for flexible mold and glass-filled polyurethane for hard shell. We applied components layer by layer until the required thickness is reached.
Rotational casting of an Angry Bear sculpture
In conclusion, we got a plastic model through polyurethane resin rotational casting. In addition, the sculpture is quite large (45x35x35cm)! When we tried to look at the light through the first copy of the bear , we thought – this is something incredible! We definitely need to use this effect. So we came up with the idea of ​​creating an angry bear sculpture wall-light.
