Recently, I stumbled upon the design documents for Riots newest champion to enter League of Legends, Gwen.
The design team at Riot really know how to make things pretty. Feeling inspired by the design, I set out to model Gwen's weapon of choice, her scissors.
I made the base model in Maya, then switched over to zBrush to mold and sculpt the intricate details displayed on the handles of the scissors. In theory, these could be printed and used as real scissors if hollowed out and replaced with real blades.
It is possible to 3D print each seperate section and glue them together.
I did run into some difficulty with the lower area of the handles. Each side lines up perfectly in the digital world. In the real world, this might not be the case.
Over all model and sculpt time was roughly all up 7 hours over a period of a few days. I look forward to perhaps printing these one day.
I can make these avaliable as a model on request.
