Chronicle: Rotunda Rex

[samhain81]

The neck looks a little too long in that edit, but i get where you're going and looks alot better

A slight turn of the head and problem solved

[kolektan]

will pass on this solely based on the hideous casting and paint job on my breakout. for $550 it's already hard enough to get rid of, I can't imagine how hard it is to move this one if it ever flop.

Right, unless you "animate" the neck to achieve the pose you want to recreate.. you know, the kind of things people do when they create a statue? :P


But the neck is the same in all the sequences, it's just animated differently according to what the animal is doing, like the little hump on the top of the neck being stretched when the animal roars..

You mean like a different model for every single frame? lol

I didn't mean that and you know it. In the rotunda scene is normal that she has the long neck consistent in the entire scene as she had to deal with the raptors too.

What I specifically meant is given the limited mobility resources of the model they had to modify it manually to fit it in certain circumstances. Nowadays the CGI models can emulate even the tinyest articulation, back then they had to adjust some things by hand.


You are concentrating on the neck but you don't say anything about the giant belly and torso she usually has, and conveniently doesn't have in that scene. I insist, do you think she's capable to do a full turnaround with that belly? because the actual t-rex couldn't neither the original model.

Come on now, there's one model, a model you have to be prepared to animate though, if you want to achieve a particular pose.

That's what I said.

But why?!

Why haven't i read a single complaint about the Breakout neck?






What's up with all these "giraffe" comments now?

Sorry but despite I love that statue they went too much with that neck. Too large. Its indeed larger than the torso itself. You don't see that in the movie.

It's not new, I remember some meme about it. But it is a very good sculpt otherwise.


You didn't mention this picture by the way:



I don't see that extralarge neck here. They modified this for the scene yes or no?

[Fu_Manchu]

And now for something different... let's post better pictures! without flash!

I was happy but the price tag has slowed a bit my momentum lol. Anyways (credit to @BryanMark):

Lens and eye see in perspective, you'll never match that picture anyway

[Gruson]

I was hoping it would be $999 with early bird pricing. Shoot.
I’ll wait and see how the paint apps come out and if they turn the head some.

I think you might have a Papo around, just put that in front of the monitor and you'll see that this is still not enough. Could look much better.

I can post frames from every scene of the movie, she look like that everytime she's protruding forward.

Sure, they made her belly and torso conveniently smaller in the biggest scene of the movie where she's fighting in full frame Raptors who jump and climb on her.. makes sense.
And if you're talking about the final roar only, that shot features both extreme angle and lenses and yet you can still see how the body never change it's proportions.

Well, the original model was capable though since we see it doing it in the movie.

You have no proof they changed her body depending on the shot.
You can read in various behind the scenes material that they did changed the size of dinosaurs, but nothing about their proportions.

It's really not.

I mean.. what?

Neck on the Breakout measures 2,3 inches, the body 7,4 and the overall lenght 24 inches..
It's absolutely perfect.

I really doubt that..

The didn't modified anything, they just animated the thing.
And Chronicle knew this when they made the Breakout.

Disappointed to see no early bird price also, I hope they get the rewards system in place soon at least.
