Amazing project guys, and so pleased to be able to take part! It was kinda surreal to be playing with your heads in my editor LOL 😉
Thank you bro!!! So appreciate your help! I bet it was super strange🤣
Isn't it amazing how far technology has come? I never would have imagined that we can make our own likenesses and figures, from scratch, right at home!
It’s crazy right??? Totally nuts man!
Swivel chair for the win
Right? Lol
This was fun.
Next time, can you also scan the figures with the heads off and then combine your scans in the other software to get the sizes right? You can then add the posts and edit the necks to match the figures closer?
That’s a great idea!
The timing of this video is spooky…last weekend on the VanOaks Props livestream the conversation skewed odder than usual, ending up with us clamoring for a Derek action figure. Suggested accessories were caps, sneakers and glue guns! Mrs. VanOaks sold separately! Now you know what to get Derek for Life Day!
LOL!!!! That’s awesome! I now very much want a Derek action figure!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Sounds like a memorable collaboration video for the future!
Oh man, so jealous! I've been wanting to get one of these for a while now! Awesome results!
Thanks man!! I bet you could do some great stuff on your builds with one. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, that is going to be such a great tool for your shop! Now you can scan in your favorite greeblies and scale them to your needs and print them off!
I hope so!
Great look at some awesome tech. It really is amazing what’s available to makers today compared with even a few years ago.
But the best part of the video is that the excitement and fun and sheer joy you two had doing this come through loud and clear. 😁
Thank you!!! Yes, the tech is mind blowing and we definitely had a lot of fun with it!
Cool that you can insert yourselves into a scene. The land speeder miniature in the first Star Wars had a pretty accurate Alec Guinness and Mark Hamill. R2 was a bit budget.
Very true
Love it! With some heat and needle nose pliers you can get the post out of the donor figure head. With a hollowed out custom head you can either fill it with hot glue to and put Vaseline in the ball joint, or I usually just throw some blue tack inside the head since no one is ever gonna see it.
Ooh! Thanks for that tip! Great!
This is every nerd/geek's dream come true! Awesome project and a very fun one to make without a doubt 👏👏🔥
Glad you like it! Thank you!
This is awesome. So cool that they sponsored this and James helped y’all out
Thank you! Yeah, we are pretty thrilled!
@@TheSmugglersRoom maybe someday I will have enough videos and subscribers for sponsorship as well on my haunt RUclips, Happy Haunts Club House.
Always fun to Collab!
There you go...the latest in The Smuggler's Room merch....Brian and Carissa action figures.
LOL!! Collect them all!
@@TheSmugglersRoom Then start making them and I will! Personally, I'll wait for the "Brian and Carissa as Han and Leia" set. (Millenium Falcon not included.)
Fantastic love the idea of having your own character for the pit project !!!!
I'm glad you like it bro!
Maybe a 1/6 scale would be easier to add glasses?
Looking forward to more videos about this scanner.
Yeah totally! I also found a 3D model of glasses last night that I can simply add to my scan and then print all together, I never even thought about that. 👍
You kids and your toys...
Awesome video!!
🤣
Man that is so awesome now when you build your ship you and the miss can make y’all’s action figures to go with it that would be so cool to have it landed in your diorama town and y’all gearing up to go to town
Exactly! Glad you like the video.
Boss I wish I had half y’all’s talent, but you have inspired me to push myself in to try a few things on my own but you the junkyard Jedi just make it look so easy lol keep on knocking out the builds I enjoy them all , makes me wish for a bigger house lol
What you need is a turntable on the floor you can stand on and a tripod to mount the scanner at the correct height to scan as the turntable rotates.
That would definitely help!
What a great project! And I found the editing to be quite fun as well!
Thank you very much! Appreciate that!
great figurines for room build projects
Thanks! It was a fun little project.
Whenever I'm having problems with the head to neck transition on a custom figure, that figure gets a scarf! LOL
LOL!!!! Love it!
Looks like fun all I need is a Guile from street fighter and black paint...
🤣
Hey, man. Those figures have a barbell joint. If you heat up the head with a blow dryer or hot water, you can pop that pin out of the head and pop it back into the neck slot. Then all you have to do is add a peg hole in your scanned head and pop it onto the neck. You keep the neck articulation that way, too.
Oh sweet! Great tip! Thank you much!
A great video smugglers room. Thank you and see you next time
Thanks for coming by for a look!
Now you must make a workshop in the Pit for your figures!
100%
This is pretty cool! Lots of us in the world building community have sculpted our own head sculpts and modified existing ones to look like ourselves. This is another way to do that very same thing. Cheers.
Thank you very much!
I need to suggest this scanner to my orthotist for making moulds for my leg splints. It would be so much easier than casting my legs in plaster of Paris.
Oh wow’ yes totally
They look exactly like you guys! Good paint job.
Thank you!!
I used my scanner to make "screen accurate' model of my head for sizing cosplay helmets. You just import the finished model into ArmorSmith to include in your avatar. Significantly more accurate than just taking some measurements to enable a perfect fit for a helmet every time. I'd love to make 3D scans of my cats but it would have to be of them sleeping which will probably not work out so well given the amount oif light you need to shine on teh subject to get a good scan ...
That’s a great idea for the helmet work! Thank you!
Wow! Awesome episode, hay great job on your custom selfie action figures. Hay if you have any trouble getting a head off of a action figure submerge the figure in hot water for 1 minute the it will pull off easily. I have two ideas for you, 1 you could do both of your Mandalorian selfie action figures in the outfits you created. 2 make a small model of Brian in his work shop With him building one of his models on the table. These figures would be so cool in your room build.
Thank you! That’s a great tip about the hot water, and yes, we would love the Mando’s! The workshop is a definite!
How fun! I've been wanting one of those scanners for a good while now. I have so many ideas I want to make. Seriously cool way to use the Revopoint scanner.
It’s pretty cool. I need more practice with it for sure, but so much potential
With a little research, you might be able to find the neck post dimensions for your donor figures. Also, you totally need to do this on a 1/6 scale body with an electronic talk box!
Love it! Thanks for the suggestions
Glasses cause issues with scanning because of reflective surfaces. So here’s a thought: put on frames without lenses and then do the scan!
Yeah, we figured that was likely the big issue. We also realized later that we can simply 3D model a pair of glasses and then just add them to the 3D file . . . boom, simple and easy!
I just made a custom avatar! Interesting to see the different approach. I don't have access to a 3D printer so I got a head whose structure was very close and used Apoxie Sculpt to add features to make it more 'me'. Excellent work you two! ❤
That's a great idea!
this is actually so cool i’ve always wanted to make custom action figures 🔥🔥
Thank you! Glad you liked it. It was something we’ve wanted to try for a long time.
How about hanging the scanner from the ceiling on a motorized table. It would spin around your head and you could set a speed controller on the table to dial in a clean scan
not a bad idea. One of the challenges is getting up under the chin and other spots so the mesh is complete.
Such a fun project idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant 😀 👌
Thanks!
What an ace project. I’ve always said to my mates as a joke when we finish our World War II. Werewolf film. It will be so cool to have action figures of ourselves and it actually looks like it’s doable. Awesome video guys 👍🏻 👍🏻
Thank you!! When you finish that film share it with us, it sounds awesome
That is awesome!
Thank you
Very cool!!! Fun times.
Thanks! It sure was
very cool !
👍
Such a cool Video !!
Thank you!
That cool ❤
Thanks
Another great video! Thanks for sharing a little view into what you're working on
Thank you for watching
Cool!
👍
Way back in the mid 90s I worked for a company called Real 3D and we had a product that made this scanning possible. We could scan a face and create a mesh that could be animated to talk and it would look very much like the person.
Wow! That’s awesome
@@TheSmugglersRoom They used lasers to measure the head to make the mesh and took pictures to put on the textures. They took it to the Sistine Chapel and made a full life like scan of it.
Awesome
👍
I've not worked with the scanning stuff because I just don't have the cash for it, but you said at the end that you'd like to try scanning with glasses on.
I know sometimes reflective surfaces can cause depth-sensors to freak out, my Kinect V2 tends to get motion capture completely wrong if my TV or whiteboard happen to reflect into the lens.
It might be worth trying to find a way to download the final model and adding it into some kind of character modelling program where you can add your own clothing, hair, etc. Nothing comes to mind right now but I'm sure there are free options out there. Then once you've got the glasses added to the model, you can print it out.
Agreed, I’m going to bring my scan into the 3D modeling software and add the glasses there. Lol
@@TheSmugglersRoom Another recommendation, there's a program called Marvelous Designer too which is very good for 3D modelling clothes! Its a bit expensive but I believe there is a trial version!
If you do a full-body scan, you can import your model into that to add custom clothing that is fitted to it!
I love this so much! You guys are the cutest
Thank you!
You guys rock.
Thank you!!
Man, you looked like Thanos. Love your videos, keep it up!
🤣 thank you!
You can do this with an iPhone (newer one with the LIDAR sensor) and an app, thinks called PolyCam something like that
oh cool! I'll have to check that out for sure! Thanks for the tip!
I think if them ones had glasses on they would look nearly spot on like u both
Agreed! We have to redo them with the glasses for sure.
you should try the 1/6 style (larger scale) like the 12 in. GI JOE figures, you can buy brand new bodies and and props.
That would be cool, but our large scale diorama project is for the 3.75” figures 🤷♂️
Maybe not a complete success but awesome anyway and the likeness was wild!
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Look great. A lot better than the Hasbro ones.
Yeah, with a bit more practice we should be able to get better results.
Nice i love your videos 💯
Glad you like them!
Where did you get that place mat on your table top? WOW!!
Lol, an awesome maker named Cam Breeze made that for us. You can find him in the Star Wars Room Builders Group on face book
I always scan outside natural light is so much better
great tip
Awesome project!! Question. What is that gray mat on your table? I love it ❤
Thanks! That mat was made by our friend Cam Breeze. You can find him over at the Star Wars room builders group on facebook
Full body scans in your Mando kits
Totally!
you need the Rancor Keeper
are you saying i need to put my head on a Rancor Keeper????? LOL!!!! Sadly, that is probably a better fit :)
@@TheSmugglersRoom Yes. I mean, that’s the figure that I’d have to use. And if I had a 3d printer and a scanner, I totally would.
Buenas noches maestro! Grande eres muy grande,es un vídeo bestial cómo nos tienes acostumbrados. Me gusta mucho ésas figuras 3,75" .
Yo casi estoy terminando mí habitación dedicada a Star Wars, espero algún día ver una foto de mi trabajo en algún vídeo tuyo,no pierdo la esperanza.
Un saludo desde España canarias.
Thank you!!
Hi you should take a look at Hasbro pulse you can make yourself into a Star wars character with your head on it,I live in the UK so not able to do this as you can only be a resident in the USA
We did see that for sure! At the end of the day making it ourselves just seemed like more fun.
Ace!
👍
Would it be more efficient to make life casts of each others face and sdan those?
Maybe, but that has always been something I have avoided. LOL
Just started watching the vid. I love that pad with your logo on it.
Where did you get it ?
Yeah, that's a great addition to the shop. A maker by the name of Cam Breeze made that for us. You can find him in the Star Wars Room Builders Group on facebook if you are interested.
@@TheSmugglersRoom Thanks you
I need to start a YT channel .... I had to actually buy that same scanner ... lol
Lol, you should!
Um excuse me sir, I believe you mean it is only her MESH- NOT HER FACE- that has some blemishes. 😂
Great job guys!
🤣🤣🤣. Thanks!
There's a couple of companies that make 1/6 head sculpts from a photo. The examples they show look really good but one company called Fab Figures charges $450, that's all painted and with hair. Another one charges $235. How do they do it from one front facing photo?
Yeah, i have no idea how they are doing that. But they make some great sculpts from them.
I so want to make my own action figure. In joe classified, 1/18 joe, and 3.75 vtc star wars
That would be great!
You should to do one of yourself as Darth Vader.
Lol
Oh Jesus that figure looks like Gary Glitter.....🙁
🤣🤣🤣
If you're going to rescan with eye-wear, you might consider wearing goggles to give it a more "Star Wars-y" look.🥽
Nah, the glasses are awkward and that adds to the comedy of it. LOL
