@jcburcham Just dealt with this, feel it in my bones. It's such a slap in the face.

@edgearcamo @losineko @DantheArtguy Thanks! A lot of persistence and waiting to be honest. Helps to have connections.

Last year I got to sculpt (and articulate) Transformers RED Shockwave! Designed by @DantheArtguy apparently! Some things are tweaked and changed by engineers between sculpt and production.

A teeny thing but I REALLY wanted to work on Knock Out, so they gave me his weapons. They had to be a little simplified for manufacturing.

@carlsmagana I'm in love with all of these designs, but this one is my fav.

[Yam @YamDraws]

@seaquestions Omg, I'm so glad to see fanart of these gals! Chicken!!

@WaffleyMan Working with physical clay is a tremendous skill and it can totally transfer to CG if you work at it. Blender is a decent free program that allows for high poly sculpting if you're feeling ambitious!

[Yam @YamDraws]

I got to work on Terrorsaur! The organic bits, at least. I had to be careful about not altering the articulation, and stick close to the control art, which wanted him as pretty gnarly.

[Yam @YamDraws]

@WaffleyMan As I understand it the shift was made from wax sculpting to digital around 10 years ago. Roughly, lol, SOMETHING like that.

@Stay70573 I can measure within the software but it's probably unreliable. Once it's handed off to the engineers/manufacturing folk, there's a bunch of small edits to make sure it prints correctly.

[Yam @YamDraws]

@CriticaIStrike Sharp eye! I'm afraid I don't have an answer- after I'm through with it, it gets sent off through another round of engineers.

[Yam @YamDraws]

@decepticonaiden Thank you! I used Zbrush. I'm not 100% sure but I think the machinery is made using the CAD software under the PTC umbrella by people way smarter than me, lol.
