Re: Thinking of joining in and taking classes, but I have a few questions

Re: Busts...
With the Creature: No I didn't cut the limbs. I knew that I wanted to clothe it so I sculpted accordingly. The head, legs and arms are attached to a basic body shape, this gave me a limited amount of movement and play with positioning. The parts that wouldn't allow me to put clothing on, (the legs and main torso) I simply… -
Re: what are the grey balls mentioned in the puppet eye mech video?

If you want multiple copies it may not be your best option, but if your design & application would be compatible with fabrication that may be your best bet. Fon Davis just did a fantastic webinar on helmet fabrication using vacuum forming, including… -
