Futuristic Highland Cow

Futuristic Highland Cow 3D Model

I took a day to make a light-hearted science fiction Futuristic Highland Cow 3D Model and get it printed using a 3D printer. To find out more about making 3D models for 3D printing check another of my blog posts here. Be sure to read to the end of this blog post for a video showing the complete modelling process of this 3D cow. The 3D print will be stainless steel and shipped soon at £34.99 and pre-orders are available it will also be available on my online shop.

All these Highland cow paintings in Scotland do people outside this country think of Scotland is it full of these things? Sure, they are cute etc but for me, I see to many of these things in galleries, massive paint splashed Highland Cow art.

Enough! So, I thought to make a Futuristic Highland Cow 3D Model complete with space helmet! Ready to leave the beauty of the Glens and Lochs and to embark on an interplanetary journey!

I like the future, so I thought that the highland cow can now look towards the future and not be an anachronism.

To find more about Highland Cows this link will take you to the Wikipedia page about them.

The Model

I will get this model 3D printed and for sale on my shop so watch this space of sign up to my newsletter below and I will do another blog post about optimising this and getting it 3d printed both on an accessible Ultimaker 3D printer machine and also as a stainless steel metal print with the print company Shapeways. I will publish this part when I get the final metal print so be sure to sign up to my newsletter to get notification of this and much more resources and more of my art.

I have just been featured in 3D World magazine, April issue where I talked about my 3D prints.

Here is a fully interactive view of the model…

The Complete Creation Process Video…

I hope that you learn some things from this. If you are learning 3d graphics and want some tips, check out he video below. It is a 10x speed timelapse of the complete modelling process of the Futuristic Highland Cow.

I used 3DS Max and also Blender to make it. The processes are fairly normal so you can use them if you are using a different software package too.

Here, I show you how I made and modelled it, the process, so you can make something similar.

Feel free to comment on what I experienced or I am always really interested in your views and creative expressions.

If you like this model, you can also buy the completed result on my online shop. Check it out!
