Thank you, most kind of you to say. Im so glad you are inspired to push forward learning. The reward will be worth the effort trust me. I spent many nights and weekends teaching myself Rhino so that I could eventually end up where I am today. Its been a tough road now and again but overall its been rewarding.

This community has been the best support group I could have asked for. Not only for learning from those whom I consider masters but for encouraging others to tap into their creativity .

Im so glad you enjoy my work enough to use an image for your desktop background. I hope that it does inspire you to keep going.

Cheers!

Amazing work Scott!

Was your Rhino model also used by the VFX team, or solely for creation of the physical model?

Thanks David, a lot of people made this happen in record time . I was one part in a larger puzzle.

It was yes, of course they re-topologize it to work better in their pipeline but its used as a base. They also scan the physical build since as built does vary a bit from as designed.

Wow, I canā€™t believe you designed this and made the set from scratch in 14 weeks!
I thought the set photos were renders!
If you do get replaced by AI, I think youā€™re going to be OK!

Yeah we were pretty amazed that it got done when it did as well. Kudos to the construction team. If it wasnt for them it wouldnt have happened . They were the true heros on that project.

As for being replaced by AIā€¦ Anything I do or how I do it is inconsequential. It will come down whats cheaper and right now in the eyes of the studios and the producers AI is cheaper.

All be damned. Didnt know they made those.

Would be nice to use it as a reference when making mechs i find it better to have an object to touch and move around rather than using images

I think these are limited edition aswell

ask the employer you had or steal one you deserve one godamit :joy:

Oh the studios have nothing to do with things like this. Thats marketing and licensing. As for getting oneā€¦my guess is they dont exist anymore on the shelves unless you find one on ebay. And people like me are never considered for things like that. We are just expendable guns for hire. When they are done with us its to the curb we go. We use to get invites to screenings and get crew jackets or shirts or something like that. But that all stopped well over a decade ago. We get a paycheck and in their minds thats enough. If they could avoid paying us they would love that even more. Ive had producers ask me to take a cut in pay simply because I was offered the chance to be a part of (insert franchise name) and it would ā€œlook good on my resumeā€.

Itā€™s disgusting how some people who pay for design can treat the profession like dirtā€¦ and yet still need the work done.

34

Thats sht i remember i talked with some who worked with ILM like Star wars and other big movies they where treated almost like stars before but that changed years later such a shame

Yeah and to add insult to injury these are the same people who want to replace us with AI. Not because its better but because its cheaper.
