Adam steps into the massive workshop of Animax Designs, a character design and fabrication company that he's been working with for his velociraptor costume. One of Animax's specialties is the build of fully animatronic dinosaurs, and Adam gets up close with their massive Tyrannosaurus Rex mech that's just about to be animated for the first time.

Adam, for wire to bend frequently it has to be stranded. The finer the strands the more it can bend (welder cable). Copper work hardens when bent. Automotive and marine grade cabling must be stranded for this reason because of vibrations.

As an animator, I now have a new dream. These rigs must be fun to play with!

Cody Ashworth - 5 dager siden

@hyperfisk Dino's are definitely fun to work on and yes the limiting you have to build into these mechs is a bit crazy sometimes. Idk if you know how delta motions work with actuators but those are "fun" to work with. Yikes. It's incredibly fun. Imagine animating your traditional way with a life size skinned dino in front of you and being able to update the motions on the fly. And not just some two motion mech, one with over twenty and giving it life. It's incredible. Glad to hear you got to work on some in some fashion.

hyperfisk - 5 dager siden

@Cody Ashworth I can imagine one of the more difficult parts must be all the constraints the rigging gives you. But it looks like so much fun too. Was lucky enough to animate some 3D dinosaurs for a documentary some years ago. Honestly, dinosaurs make the job even more fun any day.

Cody Ashworth - 5 dager siden

Dewd absolutely! Rigging a mech like this has it's challenges at times since we build it to meet the functions of the actuators in the mech. Animating with actuator based limits has it's challenges but taking those limits and making them look as life like as you can is the goal. If you have any questions I can bombard you with info. Educating in this field is important for other animators out there to broaden their horizons and to know you don't have to shoot for the mainstream view on what a job in our industry looks like. Thanks for the comment! Love the interest.

I know trucks and these characters are only machines. But I've had a favorite truck that just has a "perfect feel" is this the same with these wonderful machines?

Paul Stokes - 6 dager siden

I drive trucks..each truck is individual. 2 trucks are never the same. My question is, is each individual character different as well? Lol.. Like a "unique personality"?

Cody Ashworth - 2 dager siden

Each character is totally unique! Great question. The main difference is we aren't making a million of these things and you can't just test drive it until you like it. We build it the way we know we will like it.

Dude! Stop making me so jealous. I wanted SO much as a kid to get to see the JP T. Rex animatronic in person...and alas, it was scrapped and the foam rubber skin rotted so I never will. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can you do a JP T. Rex head using the same techniques ILM did for the first film? Just the head? It's big but....doable!

Jeremy Sawatzky - 8 dager siden

As someone who designs machinery for a living, The simple fact that these guys are designing for a 20year lifespan on this machine is absolutely insane. It is exponentially more difficult a task than a 1 shot and done. I bet those electric actuators run over 20k a piece.

The flexible electrical cables have a braided copper conductor inside the special Kevlar housing. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a teflon insulation between the copper and the Kevlar.

Cool!! I wonder.... might they include a Real Time control system so Rex could take a look across all the kids lined up at the security barrier, pick one out and move over to give him or her an "Are you tasty?" look? That would be so cool (and scary!) for the kids and their Mums (Dad would be like "It's a machine, it's a machine, keep still" as a mouse.

Cody Ashworth - 11 dager siden

This rig can do exactly that! If you are familiar with the workflow of animators using Maya software for many of the feature films out today then you know how I do what I do. We animate in the traditional sense. The rig is my pencil I created and I tell it exactly what to do and timing is everything!

Movement speed just doesn't seem realistic. At 1.25 speed, it seems a bit more real. Setting to 1.5 seems a bit more accurate.

I wonder how much one of those actuators costs, let alone 22 of them. Electrical actuators are quite expensive, let alone some rated for this speed/strength and size.

Citizen of Nowhere - 11 dager siden

Yeah, and they were all about the budget constraints. You can see why. But what a thing! Serious engineering achievement, that.
