High-Detail Miniature 3D Sculpture of Premanand Maharaj (2–6 Inch, Dashboard-Scale)

I am looking for a skilled 3D sculptor experienced in miniature figurines to create an original, highly detailed digital 3D sculpture of Premanand Maharaj, intended for small-scale plastic / resin 3D printing.

The final physical piece will be 2 to 6 inches in height, designed specifically for car dashboard placement.
Despite the small size, the sculpture must retain clear facial likeness, robe folds, beads, and spiritual detailing, readable at close viewing distance.

This is a production-grade sculpture, not concept art.

Technical Requirements (Critical)

The model must be engineered for ultra-small, high-resolution 3D printing.

Geometry & Mesh
• Clean, watertight mesh
• No non-manifold edges or intersecting geometry
• Correct face normals (no flipped normals)
• No floating or unsupported elements
• Minimum feature thickness: 0.35 mm
• Minimum wall thickness: 1.2 mm
• All fine details exaggerated slightly to survive miniaturization

Print Optimization
• Optimized for 0.05–0.1 mm layer height
• Suitable for resin / full-color 3D printing
• No extreme undercuts that cause resin traps
• Stable base suitable for vehicle vibrations

⸻

Scope of Work
• Sculpt Premanand Maharaj from head to base
• Accurate facial likeness and calm spiritual expression
• Traditional robe folds, malas/beads, and posture
• Simplified but elegant base suitable for dashboard mounting
• Sculpt must read clearly at 2 inch minimum size
• Provide one beauty render for approval before final delivery


Deliverables
1. Print-ready 3D file
• Format: OBJ or STL
• Fully watertight and validated for printing
2. Native source file
• ZBrush (.ZTL), Blender (.BLEND), or equivalent
3. High-resolution render
• PNG or JPEG
• Neutral lighting, grey or clay material
• Front + 3/4 view preferred

⸻

Acceptance Criteria
• Final model scales cleanly between 2″ and 6″
• Facial features, robe folds, and beads remain visible at 2″ scale
• Passes 3D print checks (Netfabb / Blender / ZBrush)
• Original sculpt (no scans, no reused assets)
• No copyright or licensing conflicts

⸻

Review & Revisions
• Milestone-based progress
• Proportion and likeness approval before fine detailing
• Minor revisions included before final hand-off
• Final approval after print-readiness confirmation

⸻

Printing Notes (For Artist Awareness)
• Printing will be handled in-house
• High-resolution resin / full-color printers will be used
• Artist may be asked to make small geometry adjustments for print tolerances

⸻

Ideal Artist Profile
• Strong experience with miniature statues or figurines
• Expert in ZBrush / high-detail sculpting
• Understanding of small-scale manufacturing constraints
• Ability to balance realism with print durability

⸻

To Apply, Please Include:
• Portfolio (miniatures or statues preferred)
• Software used
• Estimated timeline
• Total cost for this sculpture
• Confirmation that the model will be print-ready

This is a paid production project.

Quality and printability are more important than speed.
