Here's a very brief description of the process I use to create the cut patterns for the Intarsia Wall project. Probably not of great interest to most, but a few might find it interesting.
This build is the remaining two figures for the food pantry scene recently posted.
To create the figures, I shot about 20 pictures of my wife as the young child, and one of her friends as the adult.
The picture was used as a reference to sketch a detailed drawing, substituting a young child holding a box of food. It's certainly not great art, but good enough to generate the vectors used to cut and the visual reference used to hand sculpt the pieces after they are cut.
The vectors could be created in many graphics programs, e.g., Adobe Illustrator. They are hand drawn keeping in mind the eventual cutting and sculpting. There are about 800 vectors.
The vector drawing shows the main contours - the next step is to create cut shapes for the individual pieces.
