Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
You know, from this angle he looks like he's about to sneeze. :D ;) That's some great detail. You even have the underlying musculature defined.
I look forward to seeing this progress.

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
That looks awesome
BTW, am I the only one who thinks that looks like the face of the GIANT turtle on The Neverending Story?
-
Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
Didn't he have a sneezing problem too? :D
Looks absolutely awesome!
-
Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
Hehe.. now that I look at it, it does look like that turtle... funny.

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
he didn't have a sneezing problem per se. He was just allergic to humans.

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
the sculpt looks really great so far--hopefully you can take some pics as you make the mold and pull some casts--I know that it would be a real treat for all--

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
Looking great! Very envy-able skills, man!
When it comes time to put up your video, make a .torrent file of it, if we can get a bunch of us to use the .torrent, it should save you a ton of bandwidth.

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
I am intrested in the mold process as well .. I know the mold making I been doing for mine is the very basic and simple method. I know later on down the road I will need to something more advance. Also Do you have any Tips for animatroics (sp) or some place I can look at to get other idea's?
I also like the out come of the face, very well done.
-
Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
Thanks Guys,
Picture: Keys were made in the stone baseplate (ultracal 30) .The pen marks are for the silicone.
More fine detail to do before molding.
LOL,This project is slow going because,
1 .Im filming as I go.
2 .I have a job making dentures all day ( Dental lab tech)
3. Im a sucker for detail.
4. $$$$$
I wish I had more time.
Thanks Guys
Gary

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
OMG...this is SO a sticky--awesome work man--reminds me of the good old days when I used to do mechanical FX for films. Keep the art alive, man 8)

Why dont you work in the movie biz? Your work in really good.

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
@lorddarkwolf
two words, "Computer graphics", that is why he cannot work in the movie biz :/. No one wants mecahnical stuff anymore really. Whats the point when it can all be done in CG for less cost.
Also he could just not want to :P.
@Willetfx
You have some crazy talent. I cannot wait to see this thing finished! What are the internals going to be?

actually mechanical FX are still a huge part of specialFX--just not for applications where CGI is more flexible and less expensive. Most really good FX are a combination of both hardcore mechanical and CGI--

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
the teeth
The like CGI Too!
Sky is Right, Most really good FX are a combination of both hardcore mechanical and CGI--

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
Not trying to insult you but that last picture is funny. ;)
-
Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
Looking really good.
I also like the last one .. But I think its more of a look like I did something wrong and I am not going to tell.
once all done I think someone needs to floss a little more. ;)
-
Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
That's a clever little rig with the 3 ball-grinders put together. I really like the detail of your sculpting. The bulge in the gums from the root of the tooth. A neccesary detail for your job but you put that sort of detail in all the sculpting. Very Sharp.

Re: Animatronic eye prototype for the new MONSTERMOD
sweet!
put those teeth in some old granny's mouth! :D
