PISCES VISAGE — Modernist Surrealist Sculpture

Pisces Visage is a high-concept sculptural fusion that bridges avant-garde figurative art and organic aquatic anatomy. Designed as an unmistakable statement piece for contemporary interiors and collectors of fine 3D art, this model merges the flowing silhouette of a stylized fish with the stoic contours of an architectural mask.
The piece features refined scale texturing, hollowed optical cavities, and sweeping facial facets engineered to capture dramatic shadow play and lighting gradients. Whether finished in raw stone, cold-cast bronze, or dry-brushed antique patina, this asset delivers museum-grade visual impact at any scale.
Features & Highlights
Clean, Watertight Geometry: Optimized for high-resolution slicing across both resin and filament pipelines.
Integrated Plinth: Balanced on a monolithic geometric pedestal for instant desk or shelf display without additional hardware.
Surface Fidelity: Engineered micro-textures along the dorsal crest and fins that catch washes and patinas effortlessly during post-processing.

> ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: PHYSICAL TEST NOTICE
> Please note: These recommended slicer settings and print orientations are provided as theoretical baseline parameters based on digital mesh analysis. These settings have NOT been physically test-printed. Results may vary depending on your specific hardware, slicer software, ambient conditions, and material brand. Always preview your slices and run calibration tests before committing to large-scale production.
1. FDM (Filament) Setup
Orientation: Upright, resting flat on the base.
Layer Height: 0.12 mm – 0.16 mm (0.12 mm recommended to preserve the smooth curvature of the facial bridge and scale micro-reliefs).
Wall Line Count / Perimeters: 3 – 4 (minimum 1.2 mm total wall thickness for rigidity).
Infill: 10% – 15% (Gyroid or Adaptive Cubic for balanced weight distribution).
Top / Bottom Layers: 4 Top / 4 Bottom.
Supports: Required.
Support Type: Tree / Organic Supports.
Threshold Angle: 50° – 55°.
Placement: Under the fish tail overhang, mouth apex, and upper eye-slit bridge.
Build Plate Adhesion: Skirt or Brim (brim recommended if bed adhesion is sensitive).
2. SLA / DLP (Resin) Setup
Orientation: Angled at 35° – 45° backwards or sideways to reduce suction force on large cross-sections.
Layer Height: 0.03 mm – 0.05 mm.
