03:02 Yeah they get “leaked more often than you’d think. I used to work for an effects company that did work in film, TV, Theatre, Adverts etc. We did everything from animatronics, practical effects to sculpting and make up effects. Including doing life casting when required. We had a lot of moulds from casting both actors and props in storage. On some days when work was slow, as apprentices we would grab some of the moulds to use to practice and learn about casting techniques. Like I said the shop had a lot of moulds in storage including things like the original mould for Darth Vader’s helmet from ROTJ. So to “practice” fibreglass moulding on one very slow day I made a few castings of Vader’s face plate and helmet! I made 4 fibreglass castings that week as practice. They weren’t perfect and all required some work to look good (the silicone mould was over 33 years old at the time). I kept one which I still have and spent a long time filling, sanding, cleaning up and painting. The others I sold on eBay! I imagine the guy who sold you RDJ’s face cast probably did the same thing. Had access to the mould and just made a load of plaster casts to sell! 😂
I don't get why companies don't use scanners for their work. Hot Toys literally had celebrities over to their store for autographs and pictures. What a wasted opportunity!
@@zedabyu Actually most companies that produced smaller than 1/6 usually directly use the scan data Marvel provide so they tend to look very similar despite from different companies because it require less detail. And getting portrait license from actors/actresses is extremely hard, you can't just go and scan them on set even if they agree with. However, Marvel usually provide scan data of the character, but they're extremely crappy that we tend to just resculpt their entire face in the end which is much easier than clean up the messy scan and I believe Hot Toys is very aware of it so they just end up sculpting from scratch. Perfect scan like what you have in the video doesn't exist in the industry, because actors/actresses time are valuable you can only work on what you have which usually less an hour which not only include the shape of the entire body with costumes but also all the textures in different lighting scenarios. The initial setup and the final calculation are also include in that one hour so eventually we have to scan one character under 15 minutes with all the requirements they need and that's why the result usually really really bad, how bad? They're like something scanned from an App on your phone. But it's never the shape they care about when scanning, it's the highres textures came with it because artists can perfectly recreate the characters' likeness but it's hard to replicate their skin texture and shader so the matter is when doing a scanning is how many things you can do with the 15 minutes you have. Sorry for writing so many because what you wonder here just happened to be my working area so probably can give you an insight about things related to scan data and why companies like Hot Toys tend to sculpt from scratch then using the scan data Marvel provide.
@@zedabyu my art form and materials I use are entirely different, I mainly work with products made for nail art, and let me tell you, sculpting is a talent I’ve taken years to achieve… but to get that exact of a sculpt of a real person? Unbelievable talent my dude!
Nice attempt at using more blues in your paint application. The flesh tone spray was way too opaque which covered over the blue. Seal between layers and thin glaze over with thinner coats to allow bit of the previous colors to show through. Should give more depth and complexity. As you demonstrated human faces aren’t perfectly symmetrical like an android, individuals have many slight imperfections like you showed with Downey’s nose shifting to one side. So looking for these details is what makes a great sculpt.
The community tab does blow when you don't know a creator is using it. Especially because YT notifications are garbage. BUT I knew to check in on yours, and I did so periodically. Happy to see you back again! Tony turned out great!
First off Great video man! By the end i imaged what he'd look like dressed as Ned Flanders Secondly I did notice the channel banner, and was surprised by this video
Yeah, I can't quite get his neutral expression right. I think it might have to do with all that silicone pulling his features downwards slightly with gravity.
Great vid! Maybe a suggestion when you paint the blues and reds, use a translucent base mixed with the beige so the colors underneath show up a bit more. Looks fantastic though. Do you think the revopoint mini would scan let's say 1/6 head sculpts better than the new scanner that's using a different laser ?
The MINI definitely has the best resolution right now to scan a 1/6 headsculpt. RANGE is meant for bigger things. POP 2 is like an in between, which I prefer for most of my projects.
I’m so glad you’re back! I’m curious if you’ve heard of mego action figures. they’re a lot like the 1/6 scale figures but they’re 8 inches tall. they’re used religiously for the show “robot chicken” I’d be really anxious to see what you’d do if you did a project with one.
I can’t wait for your return I like the new display in the back!! Can’t wait for new toy story videos when you have mrs potato head next to the mr potato head it will look so good! And I can’t wait for more Pokémon and marvel videos!
wow, what a great job! Thanks for showing, mate. Glad you're back ^_^. Do you sell the scan, or the 3D print of the 1/6 scale head? Cheers and keep it up
I might look into making a tutorial series once I figured out a consistent way to paint realistic skin. The glossy look is just UV resin after painting.
I have been trying to make a Jessie head so I can make my own but I am having trouble with the head 3d model I was wondering if I could get the model for it?
you should do Richard Hammond as Iron Man A. He looks like v RDJ he also has the mileage in accidents he nearly died 5 times in his life so please for me and Top Gear and the Grand Tour fans do him as iron man. can you imagine James May as a superhero... here comes Captain Slow... he's almost there... nope just some moments... I promise he will arise in this century...
A little note about a life cast is that life cast tend to pull the facial muscle inward and downward, so it's better to add the volume back when using it as a base, especially the nose and the mouth area.

To be honest, I think your head looks better than the Hot Toys and other companies' heads! Excellent work while on your break!

You seriously said you’re a bad sculptor?! You’re freaking amazing!
You are too kind. The collecting community is way harsher and would not shy away from criticisms and more often than not, mockery.

Welcome back 🙏 Really cool of your brother to be a guinea pig again. Tony looks really accurate 👍
Yay zedabu new video ❤️❤️❤️
Glad you’re doing ok! Enjoy the rest of your break!
Great video man that’s a really cool 3D scanner you got there and Tony Stark looks great too.
Looking forward to your return in March!
So glad we finally get a new Zedabyu video. The youtube shorts can only do so much to quench my needs for more vids!
Shorts brought in lots of subscribers but none of them watch the full videos unfortunately.

well done sir! thanks for taking us through your process. the results were outstanding!
Very nice!!
Tony looks worried
Yeah, I can't quite get his neutral expression right. I think it might have to do with all that silicone pulling his features downwards slightly with gravity.
I’m so happy your back again 😄
Also did you here about toy story 5
Maybe we’ll finally get movie accurate woody buzz and Jessie
The grandest of returns
Nice to see you back

Welcome back!
Edit: Just finished the video this looks AMAZING! Hot toys level quality!
Happy to see you back!!
I’ve missed you. You look great! Mrs. Zebadyu has been taking care of you.

Haha I need them all as they have different uses
I can’t wait for your return I like the new display in the back!! Can’t wait for new toy story videos when you have mrs potato head next to the mr potato head it will look so good! And I can’t wait for more Pokémon and marvel videos!
Bald Tony Stark 4:18
wow, what a great job! Thanks for showing, mate. Glad you're back ^_^. Do you sell the scan, or the 3D print of the 1/6 scale head? Cheers and keep it up
I love watching your videos! Very entertaining!
Looks amazing! 🔥
It felt like a decade waiting for your comeback, and you did not disappoint fr ! amazing figure as always
Welcome back!! You are way too hard on yourself! RDJ turned out great!
Awesome bro!
Good to see your next masterpiece!
Keep it up dude! Your works are amazing and I enjoy all your videos, so don't stop!
Love from Italy :)
Grazie. I hope one day I can ignore the algorithm to make a variety of creative things and people but still watch them.
We missed you! Welcome back!!!!
Soon! Still stuck with certain commitments. Will be back in March
That’s so cool!
Looks so dope
Amazing my friend
2:33 Hahaha 🤣
The 🐐 is back!!!
He's back
Even after taking such a long break, your skills are still on point. 👌
thanks to your support 💚
Do you do commissions on toys we mail into you? I'd like to pay you to fix my Buzz if possible
Yay Zedabyu !
He looks scared 😨. Tony are you okay?
That totally rocked!!!!!!
Yay he’s back 🎉
Are the first of all I like the new background change secondly are we getting a 1/6 scale Green goblin
Yes I might look into more Spiderman related customs since they do pretty well.
If vfx studios offered you a job with designing characters, id say you'd be great at it, especially facial animations!!
Nailed it…
and I also saw those pictures that you posted but it feels like other people are not seeing it
That’s awesome! Can you make tutorial how you painted his eyes? And that glossy look too!
I might look into making a tutorial series once I figured out a consistent way to paint realistic skin. The glossy look is just UV resin after painting.
@@zedabyu that would be awesome! Looking forward to it.
Tony looks fantastic.
Wowza!!!
Yes! You came back!!!!!
It’s amazing! Wow 🤩
i like the new haircut btw
💇♂️
Well look who it is. Can I have your old scanner, pretty please?
Cool
Your work is amazing!! What 3d program you use for design? Greetings from Mexico
Finally a new vid
OMG that head sculpt is amazing!! Do you sell the files? I would love to buy it!
I have been trying to make a Jessie head so I can make my own but I am having trouble with the head 3d model I was wondering if I could get the model for it?
Even when I was rewatching your videos RUclips decided it won’t show me the new community posts
that's unfortunate 😕
you should do Richard Hammond as Iron Man A. He looks like v RDJ he also has the mileage in accidents he nearly died 5 times in his life so please for me and Top Gear and the Grand Tour fans do him as iron man.
can you imagine James May as a superhero... here comes Captain Slow... he's almost there... nope just some moments... I promise he will arise in this century...
Wow! Great Job!
Wait seen there is no green or yellow border does this mean 🤔 this going to need another border 🤔 can I pick color maybe red 😉
wow ! impressive
Gol do Flamengo
Yay
please tell me that you sell the 3d file of this head sculpt!!!
toy story 5 is just comfirmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A little note about a life cast is that life cast tend to pull the facial muscle inward and downward, so it's better to add the volume back when using it as a base, especially the nose and the mouth area.

I have missed you!
