I would note that source as defined does not mean the original source,
only a copy of the work in a form practical for making modifications
that can be used to recreate the original work without loss of
information. This means the source changes depending on the medium of
the work, not the medium the work was derived from.

I would also note the source is only required "where reasonable" so even
if the sculpture itself was the source, you would no be required to
distribute it.

Kind regards...
