"Yeti"-nother project




Well today we started a pretty cool job for our client Matt Barnes. Matt is a pretty cool guy as well as a highly sought after photographer. Every year he does an epic photograph and his style is very unique. You can check out his work at: http://www.thatsthespot.com This year he contacted us to fabricate a 10 foot tall Himilayan yeti creature. I won't lie, the deadline was very tight! Due to time constraints, we purchased a 3d monster model instead of modelling it ourselves. As the 3d model was already rigged with bone structure, we were able to work with Matt in finding the pose that he was looking for. Now the hard part begins. We started by slicing all the appendages off the 3d computer model, then splitting those parts as close to the middle as possible. After we had our pile of body parts in the computer, we exported them all out in the STL format that our Aspire software could import.
