First I modeled each of the different stones in zbrush (every one of them is different). I hallowed them out in Maya and made a small insertion port in each one, hidden in the ‘eye’ that exists in every design and printed them on my resin 3D printer.
I post-processed every one until it had a super smooth surface finish.
I filled the hallow void with mineral oil, mica powder, and fine glitter. Then I used a drop of UV resin to seal the holes.
After that, I dyed the surface of each stone with alcohol inks. Finally each stone got dusted in mica powders and then sealed.
THEN I made the base. It was cut from lasercut 1/8th inch birch plywood. Assembled, sanded, and wood filler was used to fill in any construction seams.
Then the entire thing was covered in a rough stone textured spray paint.
The base has an opening from the bottom where LED lights are installed and a battery pack can be found.
