This is my idea! I have no idea if it will actually be possible/practical so I am asking you lovely people. <3
So recently I've been dabbling in 3D sculpture with the program Sculptris, and I absolutely love it! :D
I wanted to make a fursuit head and all of my attempted 2D references were complete suck, so I was like, this is a 3D project, so Imma make a 3D ref!
So I began, and in an hour or two I had this:
(It's really bad quality because my computer can't handle nice graphics)

I started off wanting something canine, but halfway through it began to look like a bear so I just went with it and made it a bear.
SO MY IDEA IS if I could somehow 3D print this, make a mold of the 3D printed shape, and then cast the mold in some sort of poly foam like they do for some special effect makeups (or resin I guess), and VOILA. Head base.
So it's pretty much exactly like the whole process of sculpting and resin casting for a base, only this is sculpted on a computer.
Is this crazy or workable?
