One of the most common needs of human is that people want to be emotionally contented which is one of the reason why we want to keep our memories. When we grew older, we can look at our photos and videos that make us recall those precious memories and remind us of how we used to be. A common way to capture these moments is by making a portrait, including painting, sculpture, photograph and video. The main problem with painting and photograph is that they are two-dimensional. Unlike sculpture, you can’t touch them, and people like to touch things! However, traditional sculpture is too time intensive, expensive and requires high skillsets. That is why only the rich and the famous have sculptures of themselves. My solution is to introduce a new form of portrait, 3D sculpturing. With the new 3D technology, we can create 3D sculpturing rather easily. Using 3D scanning, we capture the contour of the human and send the 3D data to computer. Then, we can edit the data and “chisel” the sculpture digitally with a 3D app. This technique is easier and free of human error, faster than the traditional method which takes months or even years, and many technical impossibilities can be overridden.
