Illusionary Ganesha-Shiva Idol STL
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a 3D-printable idol that stands roughly 70 mm tall. Viewed straight on it should be unmistakably Lord Ganesha, yet when a light source sits low and centered in front, the cast shadow must resolve into Lord Shiva—complete with jata and a distinct trident. The effect has to work with an ordinary flashlight in real space, not just in software renders.
Medium detail is perfect: clean, traditional lines without excessive surface ornament, so the geometry stays readable in both the frontal view and the shadow. The file must be fully watertight, manifold, and free of non-manifold edges, ready for either FDM or resin printing. Overhangs, minimum wall thickness, and support considerations should respect both technologies.
Scale the model to 70 mm by default and anchor it at the origin so I can resize easily in Cura or Chitubox. I will supply a short reference video to guide the composition and will give prompt feedback on test outputs.
Deliverables
• Final STL, print-ready and error-free
• Optional OBJ/FBX source if already available
• Quick photo or video proving the shadow illusion (torch placed front-bottom)
Please include examples of past artistic or illusion-based 3D work so I can see how you tackle similar challenges. Looking forward to collaborating and bringing this dual-deity illusion to life.
