i have a ton of the gnomon dvds thanks to good old AI - San Diego and I think they are great. While they may not be something that can teach you a complete way to do something (although I think some could) it is the little things you can pick up on and learn that are really helpful. I have a pretty cool set on how to cast…
with that kind of quantity you'd be better off doing a master print then casting the rest. Once you've got the mold made each additional casting will be dirt cheap and much faster to pull off (plus you can do some cleanup and refining from the print). I'm just getting into mold making for this kind of stuff so i cant…
Yeah - one very cool use I saw is for prop making. Basically, building the prop in low-poly 3D, making patterns of it in Pepakura, and then using fiber glass and Bondo to shape it up. Very cool stuff. I played with that some time ago, building parts of a scale figure out of cardboard then filling the parts up with a mix of…
This time I decided to move a little away from the usual forms of audio devices and try something new. Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, alder body, and the stabilizer is made of expanded ABS resin. This Roland instrument was made to allow guitarists all over the world to produce a full range of sounds and timbres never…
I am looking for someone confident and reliable to add Ball-Jointed Doll style joints to this digital sculpture. The end goal is to have a fully articulated figure, ready-to-print in resin at 70cm tall. The sculpture: https://ibb.co/album/NZr4Xm Example of the joint style I am looking for: https://ibb.co/album/jHswG4…
If you want it to look as in the movies, why don't you get a bluray copy and study the source directly? Why make it difficult for yourself. :) Production molds and the behind the scenes footage could be invaluable to get a good view from different angles.…
I was quite shocked to read here that FRD had closed - first I'd heard. I was hoping in the future to make an application there myself. You are a phenomenal character artist. I was lucky enough to be able to see some of your work in the flesh as it were at the Monkey, Zombie Robot gallery when it was exhibited at Burton.…
i think the texture looks verry good, my only suggestions would be to make the rubber resin part of the grip stand out more frm the grey steal, now it looks like its all metl and the griop pattern is just presed in the metal, also i would resize it to at least 1 512x512 should be plenty enough space to show the gun as in…
I have recently purchased a Formlabs 3d printer and I am posting an open invite on the forum to anyone interested in having their models printed. I would be willing to print them at the cost of the resin, shipping charges plus 10% for my time. No additional parts or models would be printed without owners consent, just one…
You could probably ask around some resin sculpting boards... There are a few places in china and japan that do commission sculpting/painting prototyping and producing figurine work. This was my friend's figurine that was made in china, she had a small production run 100 I think. The protoype cost around 950 US I believe.…
