The work doesn't need to be understood. It needs to be felt.

A lion head modelled in Cinema4D and prepared for 3D printing. The core task was producing a clean, printable mesh — but as an extra personal challenge, SubSurface Scattering was applied in Cinema4D to visualise the design in an attractive way: simulating how light penetrates and scatters through organic material like skin, giving the render a lifelike, translucent quality. SSS isn't needed for 3D printing itself, but it made for a far more compelling presentation of the model.
