Re: Intel's Silicon Rising
Like you need us to tell you how great you are.... ;)
But we will anyway.
Superb!!

Re: Intel's Silicon Rising
yeah this is a couple of years old--thanks the the comments tho!
Re: Intel's Silicon Rising
Wow, cool stuff. But darnit if I am getting a confused on the casting process...
Here is what I see, what am I missing:
creature sculpture
Add layer of clay
Create "mother mold" over clay
Break apart mother mold, remove clay.
Now you have a sculpture, and a mother mold, when you put the sculpture in the mother mold you have a space between them where you pour your casting material. but the Inside of this is detailed(against your sculpture) whereas the outside against the mother mold is not precise(as it was just your clay spacer).
Somewhere I am missing where you create the inverse detailed outer mold to pour the casting material into. Sure you can cast into the space between your mothermold and the statue and that is your new mold to pour a material into, which would thenbe detailed, and you discard this interim step mold, I just don't see you describe that above. (I really just want to understand your process, I'm not trying to be difficult ;)
Also It seems like the process you describe above requires a lot more steps than just making a mold directly off your initial sculpture, I was wondering why you choose to go the route you choose. (was it material restrictions, desire to be able to make more than one piece, etc..)
EDIT: ok I went back and reread everything again (4th time) and I think I might have caught why you did this. It sounds like at one point you talk about a silicon rubber mold, so I think the steps I donot see are the silicon rubber molded into the area where the blanket was. but then it looks like you skip to where you have taken out the whatever material the final is made from out of the silicon mold. or shoot am i just getting more confused....

Read This Tutorial on mold making, it's the same exact method I used. ;)
