It is inspired by the famous sculpture of the same name by Giuseppe Sanmartino, completed in 1753 and located in the Cappella San Severo in Naples, Italy. When I accepted the project, I didn\u2019t have a clear idea of how to approach it, but I was confident that with a strategic use of my 3D software tools, I would find a way. My biggest concern was the veil, and as it turned out, I was right, you will  understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Before explaining how I created the Veiled Christ, it's important to note that the process involved the use of several software tools: Blender, ZBrush, 3D Coat, and Marvelous Designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">For my professional needs, this combination is the ideal match, as I use each program in my workflow for specific purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blender<\/strong> for setting up the project base and rendering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ZBrush<\/strong> for sculpting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3D Coat<\/strong> for sculpting fine details, retopologizing, cleaning high-density meshes, and performing boolean operations between high-density meshes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marvelous Designer<\/strong> for generating complex cloth simulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">To keep things clear, I decided to focus on the overall process, explaining what was done with each software in chronological order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve grouped all the steps into five main phases, as illustrated in picture No.1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blocking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modeling and Sculpting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Building the Veil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refining the Veil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Merging, Cleaning, and Retopologizing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the very first step is gathering references. For this project, I used photos and videos of the original statue available online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/reference4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/reference4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/reference4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/reference4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/reference4-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/reference4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>1 Example of photo reference of the original statue.<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Cristo-Velato-UME-fasi-union-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>2 <\/em>Phases for making the Veiled Christ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Blocking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The blocking phase is where the base elements of the mattress, pillows, and body are created, as well as the positioning of the spine crown and the tools of passion.

These fibers were then exported to ZBrush for further adjustments and refinements (picture No.7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The mannequin was also sent to ZBrush, where it was merged into a single mesh and sculpted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">A significant focus of this process was the study and detailing of veins. This began in Blender, where curves were drawn directly onto the final body sculpture (picture No.8). After being converted into meshes, the veins were merged with the body sculpture in ZBrush for additional refinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, I considered using a technique I had developed over the years for all my organic models, which I call the \u201cSuper Block Out.\u201d This method involves blocking out a shape from the overall form to the finest details by adding 3D objects over existing ones using the IMM Brush in ZBrush. The IMM Brush is a versatile tool that allows for dragging and dropping meshes directly onto a surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">An example of the Super Block Out technique can be seen in picture No.9, where the folds of a dress on a female figure are composed of numerous objects assembled to create the desired drapery effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">This technique is highly efficient for classic drapery artwork, which made me consider it as an option for the veil of the <em>Veiled Christ<\/em>Realizing this, I shifted my strategy to Marvelous Designer. Using Marvelous Designer, I could drape a large sheet over the body and let the simulation handle much of the work. While this seemed promising at first, it quickly became apparent that this approach was also not feasible. The foldings in the original artwork flow in multiple directions (picture No.10), and even though Marvelous Designer allows real-time adjustments, achieving the same intricate look as the original piece from a single sheet proved difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-1024x639.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-1536x958.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-2048x1278.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Superblockout-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>9 Example of a classic dress artwork made with the Super Block Out technique.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Realizing this, I shifted my strategy to Marvelous Designer.

High-density meshes lead to slow simulations, which reduce control and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, I decided to divide the veil into smaller sections. By focusing on one portion of the veil at a time, I was finally able to replicate the intricate flow of the original statue with precision. Anyway, further refinement was still needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"554\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/veil-directions-Copia-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-418\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/veil-directions-Copia-rotated.jpg 554w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/veil-directions-Copia-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>10 Veil\u2019s flow direction.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20230418-WA0025-1024x895.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20230418-WA0025-1024x895.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20230418-WA0025-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20230418-WA0025-768x672.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20230418-WA0025-14x12.jpg 14w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20230418-WA0025.jpg 1522w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>11 Veil\u2019s single portion.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo-1024x919.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo-1024x919.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo-300x269.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo-768x690.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo-1536x1379.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo-13x12.jpg 13w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ci-siamo.jpg 1773w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>12  Veil\u2019s portions, work in progress.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"841\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi-1024x841.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi-1024x841.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi-768x631.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi-1536x1262.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/www.ume3dart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/vai-cosi.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>13 Veil\u2019s portions, assembly completed.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Refining the Veil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:39px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth phase took place back in ZBrush, where I worked with the newly created meshes of the veil, placing them over the rest of the model.

Before transitioning to 3D Coat, I needed to add thickness to the veil meshes (since they were initially open meshes) and fill all the gaps between the veil and body objects (see picture No.17).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">3D Coat is a powerful 3D software that offers excellent voxel sculpting capabilities. When using voxels, the mesh must first be converted into a voxel object. This transformation changes the model from being surface-based (defined by faces) to a volumetric representation composed of digital particles known as voxels. This conversion gives the model a solid, full-body structure, akin to a real-life wax model.\nThe voxel transformation unlocks new possibilities for editing, allowing advanced brush and boolean operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In 3D Coat, I merged all the veil and body objects into a single model and used voxel brushes to remove undercuts, fill gaps, and clean up the surface. This process prepared the object for retopology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Retopology, or retopo, is crucial for two main reasons. First, it reduces the model's polycount, making it lightweight and efficient for rendering. Second, when done correctly, it ensures a smoother surface during subdivision. For this reason, the mattress, pillows, and veil were retopologized carefully by hand, capturing every detail with the appropriate edge flow (pictures No.18, No19 and No.20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Picture No.21 shows the body and veil model before and after these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">This is how I created my Veiled Christ. The remaining tasks, such as lighting and material setup in Blender, fall outside the scope of this article and are subjects for another time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">This is how I created my Veiled Christ.
