DESCRIPTION

A polished hardwood bust of an African woman, showcasing refined carving techniques—smooth contours, stylized facial expressions, and detailed hair. It’s a classic example of 20th‑century tribal sculpture crafted for aesthetic, cultural, or souvenir purposes. Carved from a single block of hardwood—commonly ebony, ironwood, or mpingo. The bust features an elongated neck, sculpted facial features (strong nose, full lips), and carved hair/detailing. These types of busts are ubiquitous in Sub‑Saharan African art, crafted by artisans across regions like West and East Africa in the mid to late 20th century.

HIGHPOLY MODEL INCLUDED

HIGH-POLYGON MODEL

In addition to being optimized for VR, AR, and game development, our models are also available in high-polygon versions—making them excellent base assets for 3D printing.

Our high-poly models come as cleaned, watertight FBX files with all mesh artifacts removed, making them ideal for high-quality physical reproduction.

To 3D print these models, you’ll need to convert the FBX file to STL

format, which is a standard step in the printing workflow. This can be done easily using software like Blender, MeshLab, or Autodesk Meshmixer.

Once converted, the model is ready for slicing and printing with your preferred settings and printer.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.

Provided by designer
Information and details shared directly by the model's designer.
3D Features
The model includes animations (movement or actions) that can be played in supported software or engines.
The model has a skeleton or bone structure, making it ready for posing or animation.
PBR
Uses Physically Based Rendering materials, which give the model realistic lighting and surface properties.
Textures
The model includes image files (textures) that add color, patterns, or detail to its surfaces.
Materials
The model has material settings that define how surfaces look (color, shine, transparency, etc.).
UV Mapping
The model's surfaces are mapped to a 2D image, allowing textures to display correctly.
Plugins Used
Some external plugins were used to create the model. These may be required for full functionality.
3D printing
Indicates whether the designer marked this model as suitable for 3D printing.
Model is not 3D printable
The designer indicates this model is intended for digital use only (rendering, animation, or AR/VR) and not for 3D printing.
