#rapid prototyping
“Missing Link is LAIKA’s first film to create custom 3D-printed faces for every character in every shot. This guaranteed a wider range of expressions. Over 106,000 faces were printed for the film.”
The faces have arrived!! Ooooh yeah, look at those beauts ^_^ Awesome work by Boyan Baynov and Ilektra Chrysanthou on the modelling and rigging and thanks to 3DPrintUK for the SLS printing. They are sooo lovely and smooth from the polishing, I’m well impressed.
Now I just have to try and do a matching paint job on 20 heads…
Ah I’m sure it’ll be grand. I’m going to try and airbrush most of it (and not break the airbrush this time).
In other news, work has commenced this week on the Tootega puppet-build so watch this space!
