# Mini-Wonders in 3D: Promoting craftsmanship from around the world
Somebody once said that "the sculpture is a music, frozen in stone". However, 3D art should not be static!!
Where possible, I'll try to embed relevant sounds into my animation shots, and publish them on YouTube. Enjoy :-)
## Japan - Katana
As described on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_swordsmithing), the forging of a Japanese blade would typically take several weeks and was considered a sacred art, traditionally accompanied by the Shinto religious rituals. As with many complex endeavors, several artists were involved: a smith to forge the rough shape, often a second smith (apprentice) to fold the metal, a specialist polisher, and even a specialist for the edge. Often, there were sheath, hilt, and handguard specialists as well.

|  | Learnt Katana's modelling specifics from *Array Modifier*, leather wrapping from *yojigraphics*, wood grain shading from *TutsByKai*, dented metal technique from *Ducky 3D* and the camera orbiting from *Grant Abbitt*, thanks!
YouTube link to a 10-sec animation is [here](https://youtu.be/Ej2Yfx-33Ns). Soundtrack is kindly shared by a talented composer, [Kevin D'costa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpJBgyieHdM).
**Note:** Model is built in Blender 2.83|
## Ireland - Jack-o'-lantern
Nowadays we carve Jack-o’-lantern around the world at Halloween. According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o%27-lantern), this tradition originated in Ireland and the name itself is linked to the local legend about Stinky Jack, who bargained with Devil and is doomed now to roam the Earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. It’s believed that the carved lanterns (made of turnips, pumpkins, etc) help to ward off evil spiris.

|  | Learnt the pumpkin carving technique from *TutsByKai* and the procedural flame effects from *CG Patrick*, thanks!
YouTube link to a 10-sec animation is [here](https://youtu.be/oAx9tpufpcM). Soundtrack is based on the World War Outerspace track by Audio Hertz from YouTube Audio Library.

## Britain - Guy Fawkes mask
Originally designed by the British illustrator *David Lloyd* in 1982, it was featured in the comic book series [“V for Vendetta”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta). However, the mask itself has quickly become a symbol of protest movements, adopted by Occupy, Anonymous and other popular groups. Nowadays, the mask is also known by its second name, Anonymous Mask.

|  | I found very interesting Blender YT tutorial by *Dane Sigua* on how to model Kitsune (Japanese fox mask), and then applied similar technique here to model my Guy Fawkes mask.
YouTube link to a 10-sec animation is [here](https://youtu.be/ARwwvR4RF1E). Soundtrack is based on the Voices track by Patrick Patrikios from YouTube Audio Library.
