And there she is! 5 years old... I mean this was created 5 years ago!
We had a class where I had a hole semester to make our own project... So being as bold as I am, I decided to do something never done before in the history of that college and create a figure (Funny story: the every next year someone tried to copy me as that person asked for my help^^)
But this involved first sketching out Rocketgirl at orthographic angles which were used to created a 3D model in Maya.... I didn't rig the model to pose her because if anyone has ever done that, it's increasingly time consuming and didn't fit to my limited schedule... Next step was to create a 3D print of her via 3D printer which was then used to make a silicon rubber cast mold... I read about molds on KidRobot's forums as there are a hole bunch of figure nerds over there if any of you are interested in that kind of stuff.... The mold was filled with liquid vinyl and I wish I had something called a Rotocaster which rotates the mold in 360 axis to create a hollow figure and thus using less liquid vinyl as that shit is expensive! In the end, I put about $500 out of my own pocket which could have been more but managed to get the 3D print for free^^
A+ marks btw
Cheers!
