Enhance 3D Model
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
3D Restoration and Detail Enhancement Brief – Cherub Sculpture
Project Objective
- The sole objective is to restore and recreate lost sculptural detail on the provided 3D model using the supplied reference photographs of the original bronze cherub.
- The final result must remain faithful to the original artwork, with a high level of detail.
-------------------------------
Source Material
I will provide:
- The existing 3D model.
- Reference photographs of the original bronze cherub sculpture.
=> The reference photographs are the primary authority for all visible details.
-------------------------------
Scope of Work
- The artist shall enhance and restore detail in the following areas:
1. Hair
2. Eyes
3. Clothing and fabric folds
4. Base
-------------------------------
The work consists primarily of restoring:
1. Crisp edges
2. Sharp grooves
3. Undercuts
4. Separation between forms
5. Sculptural definition
6. Fine surface transitions
-------------------------------
The current model has become overly smooth and lacks definition.
The goal is to recreate the detail that would naturally exist if a skilled sculptor were refining the clay model with sculpting tools before casting.
What Must Be Preserved
1. The following elements must remain unchanged:
2. Overall proportions
3. Anatomy
4. Composition
5. Dimensions
6. Artistic style
7. Character and expression
==> This project is a restoration and refinement project, not a redesign project.
-------------------------------
Use of Reference Material
- Where details are clearly visible in the reference photographs:
- Those details must be replicated as accurately as possible.
- The artist shall not replace visible reference information with personal stylistic choices.
- Where reference photographs clearly show grooves, separations, folds, hair strands, eyelids, fabric definition, ornamentation, or sculptural transitions, these details must be recreated in the 3D model.
-------------------------------
Areas Not Visible in the References:
Some portions of the sculpture may not be visible in the supplied photographs. In such cases:
- The artist shall use professional sculptural judgment to reconstruct missing details.
- Any reconstructed details must remain fully consistent with the style, quality, and design language observed in the visible portions of the original sculpture.
- No modern, stylized, exaggerated, cartoon, fantasy, AI-generated, or personal artistic interpretation shall be introduced.
=> The objective is to create the most plausible continuation of the original sculptor's work.
-------------------------------
Quality Requirements. The final model must exhibit:
1. Clear and sharp sculptural definition
2. Crisp transitions between forms
3. Well-defined hair strands and locks
4. Clearly articulated eyes and eyelids
5. Sharper fabric folds
6. Defined ornamental details in the base
7. Enhanced depth and relief
-------------------------------
The model must not appear:
- Soft
- Blurry
- Over-smoothed
- Melted / blended
- Rounded where sharp definition should exist
- Lacking separation between sculptural elements
-------------------------------
Acceptance Criteria. The work shall be considered complete only when:
1. The restored model visibly matches the reference photographs wherever reference information exists.
2. Lost detail has been recreated rather than merely sharpened through software filters.
3. Hair, eyes, clothing, and base show clear sculptural definition and depth.
4. The overall sculpture remains faithful to the original artwork.
5. No unauthorized design changes have been introduced.
