Aluminum photo prints are vibrant, scratch resistant, and don’t require frames. Could be an excellent solution for printing a final render.

Introduction
Digital sculpture draws upon recent advances in data acquisition techniques, computer visualization, and rapid prototyping technologies. It utilizes the unique virtual space of the computer to pre-visualize form, to enable extraordinarily sophisticated formal innovations, to design at heretofore unmanageable scales with technical accuracy, and to produce objects impossible to create with the human hand. It opens a floodgate of questions regarding the use and future use of a technology that is predicated upon a “rapid response” to the needs of a culture.
Before addressing the larger question of “how to become a better tool user,” let me address the convergence of technologies behind what I am calling “digital sculpture.”
Three domains must be understood and mastered by the digital sculptor: Data Acquisition (input technologies); Computer Aided Design, modeling, and visualization (CAD), and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)…. to read more, click here
The tools are a bit different, but the topology created with Maya is closely related to what is achieved by using T-Splines in Rhino. To see more, visit: http://www.jinoppa.com/

Andrew Scott, our recent visiting artist, recommended “e flute cardboard” for Pepakura projects. It’s white in color, lightweight, and very strong.
