Amazing…how did they do the prototypes? is it hand made???whats the stuff used as crystals??? glass???Fiber???
inspiring work
He used a rapid prototyper aka 3d printer
After I saw this thread and commented on awe inspiring work, I had to run out the next day and see the movie…fantastic job! Despite some of the other ctrits, its gotta be awesome to see your digital sculpt on the big screen!!
Im sure the 3d print was done on one of the highest quality printers…do you have any idea of the cost of the print? It looks huge.
Totally badass work, Im jealous as hell! haha.
Bloody hell Man!
Every time I turn around you got some amazing new thing up.
So that’s what you guys were up to when I visited huh ^___-
This looks great man!
BTW, flying up for Siggraph we should get together.

voodoomonkey- You mean to tell me there is a world outside my little cave! THE HELL YOU SAY!
Yeah, let me know when, I think I can see some light through a crack in the wall.
AA-ron- I believe it was printed on a Viper 2, there were three prints of the skull one was almost 17 inches long one was 12 inches and one was 24 incnes, a quick way to judge the cost of a print is about $100 an inch give or take depending on thickness.
You don’t even want to get into the cost on a 9 foot skeleton…
ananknair- The final skulls were a combination of materials , urathane and plastic,
but the printed piece was a urathane native to the printer.
Hahaha I figured it was an expensive print, but I didnt know it was that much. But when youre in the big time movie business, Im sure that was easy to afford. Too cool. I wish someone would pay for my models to be printed haha.
Patton - Your work looks amazing, I really like the detail you’ve got on the skull. The ribcage has a creative design but it doesn’t have as much detail as the skull; to me, it looks a little out of place.
Other than that nice work, keep it up
AMAZING WORK!
FANTÁSTICO TRABALHO, COMO SEMPRE! :eek:

I know this is not the place to do it but I would like to see more of the process on how things went from start to finish. From concept to finished physical model.
I’m working on a tv movie now and the experience I’m having seems counter productive to getting anything done. Sounds like you had good lines of communication on this.
I’ve not seen the movie but from your pics I see a cool looking take on an alien skeleton.
Keep cranking out the stuff that makes me go to the movies!
Yes Stan passed away on Sunday,
it has been a rough week for both his family at home and his family at the studio.
We will all miss him more than you can imagine, but the legacy of imagination and innovation he left will be felt for generations to come.
Thanks Stan for raising the bar and giving us all something to reach for!

I had the pleasure of meeting Stan on many occasions through out my career.
There was never a moment in time that you were made to feel insignificant.
He was always ready to share stories.
Stan will be missed by all… it is a loss of quality of an amazing entrepreneur and human being.
But as already said elsewhere, I’m sure Stan is comparing notes with Lon and Jack in Heaven.
My condolences to all.
Cheers
