We are excited to announce that in partnership with STEAMhouse our very own Taran Singh will be leading a digital sculpting workshop in December.

A talented and experienced digital and clay sculptor, Taran has trained with some of the UKs leading experts in sculptors and has a special interest in the human form.

The ‘Introduction to Digital Sculpting’ is a two-part online workshop taking place on 8^th and 15^thDecember 2020.

The workshop is as an introduction to digital sculpting using the free software Zbrush Core Mini. It’s been designed to help participants develop an understanding of the software and build new digital skills that can be integrated into their own projects and business ventures.

Open to SMEs only (self-employed or with your own business) this workshop is a fantastic opportunity to work with a talented sculptor like Taran, develop your skills and learn new techniques.

This workshop is fully funded but places are limited. For full details on how you can try digital sculpting with Taran3D (including how to book) visit STEAMhouse.

Bhai Fauja Singh Sculpture

A 3D Printed sculpture of shaheed Bhai Fauja Singh ji who was martyred alongside 12 other Singh’s in 1978 while peacefully protesting against corrupt Nirankari cult leaders, who were inciting religious hatred against Sikhs. When reaching the protest area Bhai Fauja Singh’s Jatha was attacked by cult followers who had prepared stones and bottles of acid. Bhai Fauja Singh and his band of brothers saw no other option but to fight back. They fought bravely and on receiving a gunshot wound to the eye Bhai Fauja Singh tied his turban around his eye and carried on fighting to the end

Human Rights Exhibition

My submission for an art exhibition that will be held soon for Bapu Surat Singh a Human Rights Campaigner who is campaigning for Sikh political prisoners in punjab. It is a digital sculpture that will be 3D printed.

Bapu In Defiance
Digital Sculpt 3D Print Resin, January 2016
Size – 500mm

The name Bapu Surat Singh evokes an image of a frail and emaciated old man. But he is more than his body. This sculpture is a tribute to the warrior spirit of Bapu Surat Singh, who despite his physical condition, remains steadfast and stoic in his fight for justice.

While his body may be frail and weak, his spirit is strong and will not be conquered

Bapu Surat Singh Khalsa, an 83 year old grandfather, left the comforts and luxuries of his life in the USA, to free Sikh political prisoners in India who have served their sentences but still imprisoned. With God’s blessings we have witnessed the release of 2 prisoners, thanks to Bapu Surat Singh’s campaign.

To mark these testing 365 days, an art exhibition inspired by Bapu Surat Singh’s campaign to free political prisoners will be held

Traditional Sikh Dhal Shield

A traditional Sikh Dhal hide Shield modelled in 3D Studio Max and Zbrush, textured in Photoshop and rendered in Vray.

Finally got a chance to texture this shield I modelled a while back. Took me a while to crack the normal maps and texturing process but finally getting there.

Sousson Pata Short Sword, india 1800

A 3D model of an indian Sousson Pata short sword, which has an S curved blade and is heavily influenced by the kukhri. I modeled this a few years back and it was a mess. I tried to use it to dress a character I was working on recently so I decided to remodel it and use it to work out a good 3DS max to zbrush workflow for detailing. I have almost cracked this workflow and also found a few gems along the way like the unwrapping in zbrush – which is brilliant by the way. Working all this out took ages as I had to go back and forth so many times but I’m hoping I can replicate the process easily and get it all right in one go.

Character Armour Study

I worked on this model while doing a game character course with Alex Troufanov who works for ubisoft on the Assassins Creed games. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt so much along the way. All the armor patterns were painted by hand and I used some Punjabi koftgari examples as reference. below is a brief overview of the process we went through

Hires detailing Shield – Dhaal

I have pretty much started to remodel everything from scratch in hires without worrying about poly counts anymore. The idea is to create low poly models later and bake the detail into normal maps.

This is a standard Sikh Dhaal which has most of the major details added. It also has varying levels of damage that could be animated. For example, if the shield in the game is hit too many times by opponents then it can visually show gradual damage until it is unusable and another must be found by the player.
