Abstract: With the development of digital technology, 3D modelling is widely used in the creation of sculpture. This paper summarises the development of digital sculpture and the related digital technology knowledge and characteristics in the context of digital sculpture. It aims to analyse relevant artworks, digital technologies, and literature through qualitative research methods and experimental methods. The data and results are derived by exploring specific creative practices in combination with organic form features. Finally, this paper systematically summarises the artistic characteristics of the four organic forms: organic representation, organic abstraction, organic generation and organic integration. It also summarises the merits and limitations of the organic form of digital sculpture based on 3D modelling, as well as its value, development trend and challenges. As a unique artistic language for digital sculpture, it enriches the connotation of sculptural creation and organic forms, expanding digital science's artistic edge.

Keywords: digital sculpture; 3D modelling; three-dimensional modelling; organic form.
