Model for a film

Hello, I wanted to share with you a project that I really enjoyed working on.
It’s a model for the film “Le Larbin”.
The story is simple: a rich kid who does anything is drugged and kidnapped by his father to make him believe he has been sent back in time to 1708.
The father’s goal is, of course, to teach his son a lesson, and to organize all the challenges, the team (in the film) develops the scenarios around a model.

The model was also used to create the opening credits of the film. Here are some photos they sent us:






And here is a photo taken in the workshop with a phone, proving that photography is indeed a profession. :slight_smile:

Even though almost all of the modeling was done in Blender, Rhino allowed me to prepare the parts for 3D printing, assemble all the elements into a single 3D file, and check the adjustments between these different parts.

I modeled all the elements except for the characters, which were supposed to represent the actors in the film and were created by a 3D artist.
Most of the elements below were created from Quixel files, which had to be adapted to scale constraints and create variations.

There were two of us working on this project: I primarily handled the modeling, fabrication, and terrain, while a second person mainly took care of painting all the other elements.
The modeling phase was standard work, but the fabrication phase was truly amazing.
In this kind of project, you forget what a square, a ruler, or a caliper is.
You completely forget words like “tenth of a millimeter” and even “cm”, and do everything on the spot and by feel.
So, a refreshing project!

And to give a little publicity to the company that hired me:

Thank you all!!

In truth, the model is simple, it’s just that it was very nice to make.
It changes from modern square architecture…
And when virtual, digital, and traditional manufacturing meet, I’m completely a fan :slight_smile:

I found these photos:
Oh! how I would love to have more projects like this !!!
