This is awesomely made. Review: In 3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft - This is a remarkable book, for a remarkable time in the arts, by a sculptor and writer uniquely suited to the task. In 3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft: Exploring 3D Printing, Scanning, Sculpting, and Milling, Bridgette Mongeon undertakes the prodigious task of providing a broad overview, and up-close examination, of the 3D digital scanning, sculpting, and printing tools (software and hardware) which are revolutionizing the traditional techniques of sculpture: armature building, hand modeling, pointing up enlargement, and investment casting. With her twenty years of experience in figurative sculpture; a Master of Fine Arts degree in combining 3D Technology and Fine Arts from Goddard College; and hands on practice with many of the digital tools she discusses, Mongeon manages to bridge the old and new in sculpture. While an enthusiastic advocate of these new tools, with their power and versatility, she is sensitive to the appeal of hand craft: its grounding in the manipulation of physical material, with all the sensory richness which pertains to this, and she recognizes the trade offs. Her effort, in this book, is to show how the two can be integrated in a sculptor's work flow. She is frank about the difficulties sculptors are likely to encounter in learning the new digital tools, but just as frank in showing, by example, how liberating these tools can be. Though 3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft is solidly technical, it is not simply a manual. The hard information of text is illuminated by how it's done sequences of photographs, and numerous other photographs of the incredible—no, astounding--sculptures and architectural constructions, large and small, created by some of the most creative digital artists in the world. Indeed, with its large format and pleasing layout, 3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft can be a delightful coffee-table book. The final chapter, on the subject of patents and intellectual property rights, provides interesting historical background, and sections on the Orphan Works Act and Fair Use, which are highly pertinent. The physical book itself is wonderfully complemented by Mongeon's excellent and wide-ranging website, www.digitalsculpting.net. I found her podcasts especially interesting, even exhilarating. In these podcasts, she interviews pioneering artists, engineers, and service bureaus working at the cutting edge of the revolution in sculpture. As certain of these artists and engineers point out, 3D digital tools have been around--and have been experimented with--for decades. But it is only within the past few years, due to the dissemination of various user-friendly 3D modeling tools available for free download, and the availability of affordable 3D scanning and 3D printing devices, that their use has exploded, creating a second wave revolution, and it is into this great current of new activity, that Mongeon has set her book afloat, like a lighted buoy. I was cheered by the fine quote from Erwin Hauer which Mongeon chose to begin Chapter Two, A World Turned Upside Down: It is an important token reminder for the younger generation and their tutors, that above and beyond the abundance of electronic marvels, the human vision and imagination remains the most important element, and that its nurture should not be replaced by excessive reliance on devices. In short, 3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft is a marvelous book, which has the specificity and breadth to appeal to professional artists and engineers, and novices alike. It is encompassing, and yet accessible, and fills a wide gap, bridging old and new ways of making, and conceiving of, sculpture. ## Features - Focal Press ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #921,889 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #434 in Game Programming #1,173 in Hardware & DIY #1,617 in Graphics & Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 20 Reviews | ## Images ![3D Technology in Fine Art and Craft: Exploring 3D Printing, Scanning, Sculpting, and Milling - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J1rDZAb8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME *by A***S on 25 July 2019* What a book.
