A victim of our times

I made this a while ago, but forgot to post it here. Modeled in blender, rendered in the last free version of Indigo:

Thanks mate.

Nice. The paint looks really good. I could just picture a comedic headline, “Thousands of Piggy Banks Slaughterd!”

Very nice! Did you model a piggy bank and then use a script to shatter it?

No, I modeled the pig (as a 2D surface), cut it up by hand using the knife tool, and then used the ‘solidify mesh’ script. It took about 5 minutes to model the pig, and another hour or so to cut it up!

I’ve had a couple of questions about the ‘solidify mesh’ script. It’s built into blender, and, after selecting the relevant faces/vertices, can be found in Mesh->Scripts->‘Solidify Selection’.
