3DS Max Cloth
Been recently playing around with the cloth features of 3DStudio Max to some varying effects.
I quite like this effect. It reminds me of when, in the movie The Thing, the guy’s head on the operating table stretches over the edge with the same visceral popping action.
Perhaps one day I might make use of this technique, but it seems fitting for Halloween week !

Frankenstein’s Monster and his Bride.
My Lost Boys Halloween Outfit.
I decided to go as Kiefer Sutherland’s evil vampire from The Lost Boys.
I decided I’d have a go at making a gelatin appliance. Previously I’ve only ever done foamed latex and putty appliances. So, Gareth cast my face which gave me a positive to sculpt on top of. I changed the shape of my nose, added higher cheekbones and a very prominent brow. I then made a mold of that.
The gelatin came in a 1kg block and seemed to be quite sturdy stuff. I popped a cupful into the microwave until it was nice and runny. Poured into the mould and squished the two halfs together. Left for about an hour, I opened the mold and out came a pretty good appliance.
I was kind of disappointed that what should have been thin rubbery edges seemed to be quite fragile, almost like the gelatin had absorbed moisture and went a little mushy. Perhaps it’s not best suited to ultracal plaster molds ?
Anyway, it applied ok.. the edges were a little rough but the translucency of the gelatin worked well.
Here’s the results.
