Teeth and gum tutorial?

Jeffrey Mahon

Hi, is there a course on making teeth and gums to fit a fiberglass underskull?

Darrell Green

The course "How to make fake teeth" starts with having the original dental cast done on the actor but yours would only be different by the change to starting with the form of the jaws in the fiberglass form:

Thanks Darrell! Yes, watched those two courses. I'm new to all of this so trying to figure out how to apply those techniques to a thin fiberglass jaw.

Do you have a picture of the project as it stands now or a reference picture of the fiberglass?

OK, definitely one more try at suggestions on this but def an @Chris Ellerby on this as well. I believe you might find some use for Articulated mask Part 1, especially chapters 6 and 9:

@Jeffrey Mahon The first few chapters of this course will be enormously helpful to you for tips on mounting teeth into your underskull: https://www.stanwinstonschool.com/tutorials/animatronic-character-creation-organic-mechanics-part-two

You'll also find some good tips in this course. Check out the chapters on creating teeth:
