Pigeons in NYC — Glow-in-the-Dark Figures

Out in the city

I modeled a Halloween-themed pigeon in Blender, printed a flock in glow-in-the-dark PLA and distributed them around Central Park in New York City.

The project was a chance to practice 3D modeling and send the results out into the world. The photographs follow the pigeons through the park, into a restaurant and onto an ice cream truck.
