Continuing the discussion from Slicer for F360 - Tested on a GF:

I’m a polymer clay artist (ok, I confess that’s not my day job and probably never will be, but let me dream)… I don’t sculpt with it, but instead do “cane” work and cover pretty little boxes and/or glass thingies that I make into lamps (http://www.ferociousmellow.com).

One of my Polymer Clay Heroes is Jon Stuart Anderson http://www.jonstuartanderson.com/ . He sculpts, using armatures (aka sculpture skeletons to hold the shape) and covers his pieces in gorgeous polymer clay cane slices.[below are pix of his work]

I’m wondering if any Glowfolk are sculptors, and if so, are thinking about using Fusion360 Slicing capabilities to make armatures? It’s one of those “I’ll try that someday” kinda things for me.

Not quite your typical sculpture here but yes, I use support armatures with shaping material like foam or clay to build composite parts. :slight_smile:

Does sculpting cake, rice rice krispie and modeling chocolate count?

I sculpt – polymer clay, a few small bronzes, and then digitally with ZBrush for 3D Printing. Mostly my armatures are armature wire or the occasional coat hanger :relaxed:

Haha! Yes - I made those. I told Dan a while back that if he decides to have an Open House again I would bring that wine bottle cake for everyone!

I love the little skulls! They look like great desk pieces, except that then my co workers might get concerned…

The Fancy Cake Conventions are always out your side of the coast! Maybe we’ll have a get together and eat cake when I attend one of those!

Starbucks is my cat - he is named after my addiction to Starbucks Coffee (I’m pretty sure I should have the Platinum Card with the amount of $$$ I spend there) LOL
