This project is based on a writing assignment one of our teachers used to give the students. They had to choose a figure from American history to add to Mt. Rushmore, and write about why their choice deserved the honor.
The idea here is to add a 3D printing component to the assignment by having the students actually sculpt the face of their figure and add it to a model of Mt. Rushmore.
This will also be the student's first experience with sculpting on the computer using Sculptris
** Sculpt GL is a web based sculpting app that will work for this project: https://stephaneginier.com/sculptgl/
The Mt. Rushmore model is from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1318107, I added a blank section of mountain for an additional face.
I created an example using a sculpt of Albert Einstein's face as a test run. This is my first Sculptris sculpt, so it's not exactly museum quality, but hopefully you can recognize it.
