Just a suggestion to the artist community to create a new service or
product...
How about using a portrait sitting, as in Painting or Photography, to
do 3d Scanning of clients... both shape and color, RP the shape in
plaster or ceramic and then working from the 3d color scan, you can
paint/glaze/color the finished piece as a 3d portrait.
Might put a few photographers out of business.
Color 3d printing might take over eventually, but the art is in the
lifelike qualities (or the artistic impression) of the finished work.
