The sculpture notebook · inferred beetle study

Spots. Antennae.
A little depth.

One complete drawing by twikoi, with a separate path for games, display, keys and the tabletop.

Actual display beetle prototype on its base

Digital display render. Likeness and physical testing remain pending.

The drawing leads every version.

The spots, head, six legs and two antennae remain recognizable. This is a shallow inferred body, with coarse eyes and surface strokes. Its reverse repeats the front’s spots. Roundness, underside and fine detail need artist-guided sculpting.

Four destinations, separate construction.

The game reference retains the generated triangles and colors, with no rig or animation. The display has a base. The keychain routes a 5 mm neck behind the body, joined through a nominal 4 mm connector; one central opening section measures 5.00 mm. The miniature lies face-up on a nominal 25 mm base and uses a 0.10 mm surface reconstruction. Small details change during that reconstruction.

Each passes early closed-geometry checks. Minimum feature and attachment thickness, printer/nozzle settings, supports, sliced layers, strength and physical samples remain pending. The renders use digital materials and are not print photographs. Likeness and commercial terms remain unapproved.

What needs reinforcement?

Read-only GPU feature sampling flags areas on the keychain and mini for closer review.
