Then there's a stunt version, which we called Snappy. That really gave lovely silhouette shots, and stalking and coming into rooms and anything where we wanted more of the wolf. There were no animatronics in that one, but it had poseable jaws. Abe really wanted to see more of that and how we could create a whole wolf for those wider shots of walking through the house.ĭamian Martin: Since we’re in a tighter space, it’s about getting the shots of the back - his reference was Jaws - and seeing the back of the wolf come through.Īdam Johansen: Like the fin from Jaws, yeah.ĭamian Martin: get that as a whole suit, so we extended it down and gave it a butt and back legs, as well as that belly.Īdam Johansen: So that's Andrew in arm extensions to give him that height, and leg extensions as well, wearing the static head. That’s what we call our hero wolf, and that gave Abe all the lovely hero shots that we see in the reflection of the windows, and the crib, and all that stuff.įor the wider shots and things where we see the stalking through the house, our creature suit performer Andrew Crawford's in a three-quarter suit that we built for season 1. As I said, I was wearing it, so I was doing the gross body movements the head dips and head turns and things like that were me operating that, combined with a couple of guys, Damian and some others, off-camera. That’s a rig that I myself wore, but radio-controlled movements for the tight close-up shots, and the articulation on the head was jaw, snarl, eyes, eyeballs, brows, and ears. There’s a beautiful animatronic head built just up to the shoulders. Can you talk about the differences between them and what each of them would be used for?Īdam Johansen: We built the three versions for season 1, and obviously they were used again for season 2. Perhaps submitting an official bug ticket at their forums will help when it's time for them to update and patch some of these issues.You built three versions of Isla Fisher's werewolf. All of which have workarounds so it doesn't get under my skin but you're not alone.Īs a side not there have been quite a few new issues introduced with the 2019 update and I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is yet another. On Sunday it's working again, even though I didn't touch it lol so yeah, anecdotal but I'm experiencing lots of issues like this lately. On Saturday when I sit down to work again, although I haven't touched it it's out of symettry for some unknown reason. I'll be in perfect poseable symmetry on Friday when I'm working on something elaborate. Wish I had a better answer for you but this again is something I believe we all run into given enough use of this feature, and these days it's more often than not it stops working, this is anecdotal but I do believe from personal experience that something broke in 2019 in the overall symmetry functionality as a whole in this program. So much so that I've 100% taken to starting Blender whenenver I start up Zbrush in the morning since I know at some point I'm going to have to jump my mesh over to Blender to fix symmetry issues and it's just much easier/faster/precise there. I have noticed with extensive use of 2019 that I'm running into more symmetry problems than ever before as I go these days with the weirdest things happening. Sometimes it will work flawlessly for days on end on a model, other times it goes out of whack within minutes and never recovers although you manipulate things the same way on your end both times. These sort of problems are commonplace and unavoidable when it snags you. It's been like this forever and they've never perfected it. Poseable symmetry is wonderful in theory, hit or miss in practice.
