zandoriastudios Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 This is a photo of a prototype that I've been working on at my day job as Creative Director for SMP Display & Design group. It is a cast urethane sculpture of "Mr. JellyBelly", the mascot for Jelly Belly Candy Company, for the new international display. I had modeled Mr. JellyBelly in Animation:Master and exported several different poses of him as .3ds files to bring into my CAD program where the rest of the display was designed. When the final design was approved, I had this figure carved and molded for the prototypes. I airbrushed the finished figures before boxing them up to send to a tradeshow in Europe. Anyway, since I did use A:M in the design process, I thought I would share here. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted January 11, 2006 Admin Posted January 11, 2006 Entirely too cool Will. Great job! It would be great to see this guy (your guy actually) on displays all over the world. Hope he goes far. Rodney Quote
Sharky Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Hi William! It's a great toon character, nice work! Your works are very inspirated! Thanks for share it! Yours sincerely, Sharky Quote
pdaley Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 3D in the real world? Worlds are colliding! Nice work, Will. Quote
zandoriastudios Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 I thought about you when I was modeling the chef's hat (toque), Paul. LOL Quote
brainmuffin Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Cool statue. I love jelly belly jelly beans. I just can't figure out who would eat jalapeno flavored jelly beans... Quote
itsjustme Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Extremely cool, Will! Fantastic work as usual. Quote
tanassi Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Hi William, i'm interested in the process you used to export and refine the model from A:M to STL (i suppose) how did you fix 5ppatches and hooks? or didnt you use them? i ask this because i, sometimes, have to export from A:M to STL and i need everytime to do a lot of cleanup about 5pp and hooks. if you dont use them, what's your 5pp-less and hook-less tecnique? thanks a lot...

gschumsky Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Cool statue. I love jelly belly jelly beans. I just can't figure out who would eat jalapeno flavored jelly beans... If they're anything like jalapeno jam (or even jalapeno/papaya), then I'm in! Sweet and a little bit of fire...great combination. Nice statuette Will (what the heck is "inspirated" mean anyway?? Is that a cross of inspired and exasperated? Or inspired and corrugated?? Kinda like my father-in-law calling a fire-extinguisher a fire-DIStinguisher). I'd like a job like that. Greg Quote
NancyGormezano Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 That's a terrific, fun Mr. Jelly Belly Boy. I'm curious - how big is he? It would be great fun if he were measured in feet rather than inches - but I suppose that would be a major manufacturing cost? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 13, 2006 Hash Fellow Posted January 13, 2006 Looks great! Quote
MMZ_TimeLord Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Excellent work William! My wife and I took the tour of the Jelly Belly factory here in Northern California a few years back. Very educational. Not to mention nice discounts on factory 'seconds' Glad to see some of your work again William. I am always inspired. Quote

trajcedrv Posted January 22, 2006 Posted January 22, 2006 Lovely!!! This little guy looks a lot like me! (Belly and hat;-P) Great work, as always! Quote
