About this model

Made this cool sculpture using photogrammetry and processed it up in Blender for extra detail. It was the inspiration for the art in Civilization IV, and people often mistake it for the Titan Atlas punished by Zeus. This is my first go at photogrammetry and sculpting, so the model might not be 100%, but I think it's not too shabby. If you wanna tweak it or something, contact me for an OBJ file or whatever format you prefer.
