Ubisoft has revealed today a 3D replica model Sarcophagus, in anticipation of the release of Assassin’s Creed: Origins.
The model has been created using cutting edge printing and machining technology, with the finest modelling science to celebrate the occasion taking place on Friday, October 27th. The image was generated by a team of 3D printing consultants using data-mapping imagery from Assassin’s Creed Origins.
As for the detail, the 6ft sarcophagus was made using a printing process known as Stereolithography, often referred to as SLA. Then, SLA uses a high-powered UV laser which cures liquid resin into a solid plastic, and from there builds up layer by layer. Upon completion, it is then bonded with the main wooden body of the figure, which is then brought to life by a dedicated artist who applies the details from ancient relics and hieroglyphics.
Hobs Studio Technical Consultant Bryan Mulholland stated:
“This has been an extremely exciting project to be involved in. The process of bringing together a multitude of different technologies is no mean feat, but we worked closely with Ubisoft to ensure that every part of the process told a story and merged the old with the new to create something magnificent.”
