Thing Animatronic Skin Mold- RHFX
I had the honor to work for Raptor House FX in designing a 3D Printable Animatronic Skin mold for their Thing animatronic for Netflix TUDUM 2025 and other promo materials. The actual animatronic performance system was developed in collaboration with Manus and Alt Bionics. Shoutout to the incredibly talented crew at RHFX and special thanks to the incredible Jesse Velez for the opportunity.
2 molds were made: a 2 part mold with core for the main body of the hand, and a one part mold for the wrist cap. The Digital Master Sculpt by Sam Sterling
