Around 2018 I fell deep down the rabbit hole that is medieval bookbinding and since then have been experimenting with different techniques to supplement more traditional tools. I created this model as part of fabricating the Book of Cain from Diablo III for a cosplay commission. I’ll be the first to note that efficient polygon usage definitely went out the window near the end while I was focused on smoothness and detail. I had originally planned to carve it on a CNC router out of wood so I had to be very careful to avoid any overhanging geometry/make sure it had a flat back, but in the end 3D printing ended up being the much more afforable route to go.
