Nessex Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 wow - that is a really great piece of work. What did you use to make them? Any chance you'll try your hand at a 3D rendering of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thank you guys. I'm glad you like them as much as I do. This was another project I was smiling all the way through. A lot of fun all around. I've definitely got more plans for this skeleton. I should have new posts on the site Tuesday and Thursday next week. Probably not as cool as this initial stuff, but you've got to lead strong, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Another skeleton related update to Minimate Labs. We're headed to the radiology ward. More images at the site. (post permalink) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Hey Ivan, I'm blown away at these images! Is there a modifier or something you use in blender to get the xray effect? or was this done in another program? edit.... I don't suppose you'd be willing to do a skull and crossbones image, would you? pretty please Edited January 16, 2014 by Nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Oh, man, can you create a 100% size label of that so we can make a Minimate X-Ray Machine for our Minimate doctor's office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I had numerous MRI scans last month ....not pleasant......& for each entire 20-30 minutes sessions I managed to take my mind off of the claustrophobic reality by thinking about .....you've guessed it.....Minimates my favourites, what lines I'd like,what I'm missing what I'm hunting blah blah blah.. A bit sad ? Maybe... but it worked for me . Little did I know that Ivan was hacking my hospital notes Make no bones about it...Ivan is one clever feller.

Ivan Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hey Ivan, I'm blown away at these images! Is there a modifier or something you use in blender to get the xray effect? or was this done in another program? edit.... I don't suppose you'd be willing to do a skull and crossbones image, would you? pretty please This is all Blender. But it uses the Cycles Render engine instead of the Blender engine. With that you've got a lot more control over the rendering settings. It's also a ton more complicated. Here's the material node I used for the x-ray bones. (click to enlarge) I didn't come up with that myself. I took the basics from a forum post and tweaked some of the values to get the look I wanted. It's like learning Blender materials all over again. I didn't realize it until BHM brought it up but the images do look more like MRIs than X-Rays. Thankfully I don't have much experience with either. Apart from the stealing medical records part... Lobsterman, I'm not sure what you're looking for. A scaled image to print at Minimate size? Or something more complicated? Maybe I'm just tired and confused. Nervous, I actually worked on a skull & crossbones image six years ago, but the output wasn't great. I like to think I've improved... Obviously there's a bit of bone stretching to get the proportions right. I just assume they came from a three incher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks for the insight, and the crossbones! That looks killer! I really hope to find the time to get back onto this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also will think about custom projects I'd like to do, which unfortunately sometimes has the side effect of me stumbling upon a great idea, and then I can't sleep until I get out of bed and start putting the damn thing together. Sorry to hear about the MRIs. I had one a few years ago when I broke my arm, and it does suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogi Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Loving the skeleton minimates. Now I really want a Skeleton Minimate and a translucent blank with a skeleton inside it (Not just a tampo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Of my many character flaws, one of the most frustrating is my inability (unwillingness?) to finish a project. So... New Project Time! Since an Enterprise-D vehicle with removable captain's chair seemed unlikely to see release, I made my own captains chair. Then I thought, "Why not do the whole damn bridge?" Then, "Oh, I could do the observation lounge and the ready room too." "Engineering, gotta do engineering with a light up warp core." "Shuttlecraft!" "Runabouts!" "Oh hell, DS9 promenade!"
