When Adam visited Weta Workshop early last year, he stopped by their 3D printing lab to check out their research and experiments in 3D printing full-color eyeballs for exhibition figures and effects work. Weta Workshop's Richard Taylor and 3D artist Tor Robinson show Adam examples of anatomically accurate printed eyeballs that push the limits of high tech fabrication!

I wonder if she made Alita's eyes for the statue they had at the premiere.

Hey Adam, I love your videos and I might have a challenge for you if you're up for it. Since you are really good at making spaces I was wondering if you could make a replica of an SK-1 soviet cosmonaut space suit.

3d modeling eyes for game characters is remarkably similar to the approach used here. Literally every point they made about colors, intensities, limbus and topology apply to 3d character modeling too. Brilliant stuff.

David McCoul - 12 dager siden

It’s a Stratasys inkjet printer. Why didn’t they just mention that? “Voxel” prining is useless jargon. All 3D inkjet printers work that way, and voxel is an MRI term, not a standard 3D-printing term.

Adam Is it possible to print out the eye prestizes for people who don't have one of the eyes???? Scan good eye and print out the copy??? Add light sensing micro chip for iris to widen and shrink????

I think Adam Savage is the only person who can get away with nasty, dirty fingernails. In his case it is an indication of authenticity.
Also, where is the process of them making these? I want to see it in action! Maybe it's a company secret...I still want to see it.

Thank you so much for making this video. Many years ago, I made acrylic eyes with the Madame Tussaud's Studio in London. Technology has come on such a long way. We would have to hand paint the striations to build up depth in many layers. The edge between the sclera and iris was made by quite a lot of grinding down and sanding before the next clear level. I can see 3D printing is the way forward in eye making, not only for accuracy but for the time it takes to make a pair. Great studio work

Can I buy an eye and lid cover from you? Human size?

Azurite Coast - 14 dager siden

Adam, I was wondering if you or any of the lovely people at Weta have any examples of or demonstrations of the eyeballs in use or of their applications. I loved seeing the video, but I want to understand why the accuracy is so important by seeing how they've been used in the past.

"To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

Adam won't even clean up his fingernails when he's visiting another shop, knowing his hands will be on closeups. I bet he's the kind of guy that has horrible B.O. but nobody will tell him.

Now they just need to figure out how to make the iris “float” when the eye moves.

Thanks, Adam and Weta! After having watched so many hours of LOTR behind-the-scenes footage with RICH-ud TAY-luh (gotta love that distinctive voice and crisp Kiwi accent!), I feel like I've been missing out on his practical effects updates/tutelage since. So awesome that Weta is putting so much R&D into these physical eyeballs, when most productions would just go CG nowadays. The hills and valleys of the iris look especially amazing on the giant-size eyeballs. Great job, Tor; great to see this cross-generational collaboration at Weta creating state-of-the-art versions of traditional effects.

0:50 It looks like a The Residents video
David Bowie's video "Lazarus" - they could have devoted a bit more time to making the eyes.
I'm surprised they didn't talk to ocular prosthetic manufacturers.They have been making realistic eyes for decades.

Torsten Lif - 8 dager siden

Centuries, actually. And the time-honored glass eyes are still better than the plastics, in my opinion. AND they're actually faster to make! The bulk of the time needed when a new one is made, is for the cooling down of the glass. Sloooow cooling; don't want any cracks in there, please.

Johnathan Saegal - 18 dager siden

Tor is going to become a master at the leading edge of these forms of special effects - I can see the day where surgeons will come to her for "false eyes" for people who have actually lost an eye. She's on the border of absolute greatness in her field.

A perfect example on how Weta is cultivating genius by investing in young makers. By bringing people into the shop while they are in their professionally embryonic stage, they are exponentially advancing the methodology of creating. A truly wonderful company.

Nathaniel Robinson - 19 dager siden

I need a new ocularists in a bad way. And I'd love to find one using this tech. I hope someone figures out a way to make this tech available broadly. I would have loved to grow up with a matching eye of such quality. They say the "eyes are the mirror of the soul". Imagine having one that is a misfit. Ocularistist aren't well known but they are well loved. :)

Right now the coolest things are made with 3D printers. 3D here 3D printer there, more cheap ones on ebay, amazon or kickstarter. Everybody should have gotten at least in contact with one by now. You should really start getting into some CAD now(!) otherwise the ship has sailed. Give it some more years for the other patents (eg. CLIP by carbon) to expire and spare parts are created at home more efficiently, not sent by the manufacturer. Hold that thought.

until they figure out how to consistently replace peoples real eyes in post and continue to use contact lenses that will remain an disengaging experience for me because i can _always_ clearly tell when someone is wearing a colored contact as an artist i know eyes, spend a few decades being frustrated by them and youll understand completely what the guy is saying and contacts, no matter how beautifully crafted, are a poor covering that fakes detail at the expense of immersion ... G'kar from B5 for example or Drax from GotG ... any time they need a full eye change and go the contact route im taken out of the experience because it stands out so badly to me
