Lamarck’s Carinaria, Giant Anemone, Dragonfish, and Juvenile Gray Snappers 3D Models

< Back to Our Portfolio

Smithsonian Exhibits (SIE) was responsible for the 3D fabrication and installation of the Lamarck’s Carinaria (heteropod), giant sea anemone, Scaleless Black Dra gonfish, and 3 juvenile Gray Snappers. SIE also did the fabrication and installation of mounts and pedestal covers for the 3D models. The process started with names and sizes provided by NMNH along with preliminary reference images. SIE then proceeded with an in-depth research of each specimen, producing many sketches. Approved final 3D digital sculptures were then scaled to size and prepared for 3D printing through a liquid resin printe r. The giant anemone was printed with a 3D Gypsum printer due to its large size. 3D models were put together and painted with reference images at hand. Lastly, finished 3D models were carefully installed into existing cases.
