There is no definitive answer to this question as it largely depends on the specific application and requirements of the project. However, some possible methods for generating full scale sculptures using machine learning include using 3D scanning and printing technologies, as well as using robotic arms or other automated manufacturing processes.

What i did is quite simple just take a small portion of existing remains and feed it to machine learning algorithm to get the 2d image of that particular thing .

Donor photo of Nefertiti

Nefertiti was an Egyptian queen and the Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten, an Egyptian Pharaoh. Nefertiti and her husband were known for a religious revolution, in which they worshiped one god only, Aten, or the sun disc. The couple were childless, and Nefertiti’s sister, Mutemwiya, acted as a royal mother to Tutankhamun, Nefertiti’s stepson. Nefertiti had many titles including Hereditary Princess, Great of Praises, Lady of Grace, Sweet of Love and Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt. She was made famous by her bust, now in Berlin’s Neues Museum, shown to the right.

ML generated results are very eye pleasing

The bust is one of the most copied works of ancient Egypt. It was attributed to the sculptor Thutmose, and it was found in his workshop in Amarna, Egypt. The bust is notable for exemplifying the understanding of proportions in ancient Egyptian art. The proportions of the face are in perfect harmony. The length of the face from the chin to the forehead is one-third of its total length. The width of the face from ear to ear is one-sixth of its total length. The angle of the eyes is exactly 60 degrees. The eyes are almond-shaped and look to the side.

DALLE 2 VERSION OF full NEFERTITI

The eyebrows are arched and finely drawn. The lips are full and finely shaped. The chin is rounded and fleshy. The neck is long and graceful. The bust is a masterpiece of realism and idealism. It is realistic in that it shows all the features of a real person. It is idealistic in that it shows the perfect proportions of the human face. The bust of Nefertiti was discovered in 1912 by the German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt in the ruins of Amarna, the capital city of the Pharaoh Akhenaten.

Could this be the true Nefertiti in full ?

Or Nefertiti will more look like this after taking some remains and feeding it to machine learning algorithm As you can see that after taking some remains and feeding it to machine learning algorithm the results are quite different from the real Nefertiti.

In ancient Egyptian art, Nefertiti’s beauty is emphasized. Her long neck is elongated, and her face is in perfect proportions. She is shown with a small waist and full breasts. Her skin is smooth and unblemished. She is shown as the ideal of beauty. In the bust of Nefertiti, her beauty is accentuated by her hairstyle.
