Also experimented with different lighting techniques including 3-Point Lighting, Butterfly Lighting, Loop Lighting, Split Lighting and Rembrandt lighting.
The model used is a 3D scan of the statue, obtained by the Scan the World which is a community-built initiative whose mission is to share 3D printable sculpture and cultural artifacts using democratized 3D scanning technologies
