Abstract

Digital technology is one of the most significant factors influencing the evolution of the arts, providing new tools and techniques that enhance and develop the creative process. Among these innovative techniques is digital modeling, which is employed in sculpture to create highly accurate and realistic three-dimensional artworks. Sculptors have increasingly turned to digital technology to enhance their sculptural designs, reflecting its impact on both the conceptual and practical aspects of their work. By utilizing computer technology and modeling techniques, sculptors can advance their creative processes effectively. This research aims to highlight one of the most important modeling methods in the digital age, which can transform a sculptor's creative ideas into tangible forms within the digital virtual space, ultimately resulting in products that engage human sensory perceptions and have a physical, concrete existence. The study seeks to demonstrate the potential contributions that innovative computer-based techniques can offer to sculptors, exploring the materials and digital modeling techniques that can be tailored to serve their artistic needs. The findings reveal that digital modeling can be used to produce functional sculptures with intricate details that are challenging to achieve through traditional methods, showcasing the variety of materials available for sculptural creation
