Carmack in 3D.

Here's a wild sculpture for you...

An artist (who also was behind the "Fake Screenshot Contest" exhibition) has created a foam resin sculpture based on the character model in Quake III Arena modeled after engine programmer John Carmack. This is really a clever little project, as it's a sculpture based on a 650 polygon model, not the actual person. This gives the model a unique look. Here's a quick glimpse (check out the artist's site for more pictures):

I love the implication in this - a model of a model... it's a fantastic gesture. My girlfriend (who's the arty one, I'm just a big techie) thought this was quite an interesting idea. She's planning to see what else is out there that's in a similar vein.

Thanks, Jason - you're always interesting :)
