3D PRINTING is Revolutionizing Special Effects - Legacy Effects

Take a look at how 3D Printing has changed the world of Special Effects

Legacy Effects has been at the forefront of 3D printing and additive manufacturing technology for years. See how Legacy has incorporated 3D Printing into its workflow in this video from our exhibit at the 3D Printshows in London, Paris and New York, where Legacy took home the award for Best In Show.

I love this so much. These people are my heroes.

Excellent and thank you for sharing. Also, the robot at 7:53 needs to be more showcased :)

3:05 was a better head design than the one used in the final film IMO

I'm curious. When you finished a creature or character for a commercial, do you destroy it? (Take it apart, reuse parts, recycle) or keep it? (Storage or showcase)

Thanks! Love seeing such talented makers in action.

What can you guys tell us about the costs involved in producing these different types of models, and the steps they have to be taken to get from a concept to a finished product?
Thanks for these videos! They keep me inspired!

Man, this 3D printer will speed up movie productions beyond belief. People had to do it all by hand not too long ago, that was a lot of work. 

[STROBdotNET]

Awesome! Really cool to see how big you can print now.

[BalliSutera]

Really interesting, especially for indie folks coming up. What you can do these days on just a home computer is awesome.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't realize so many of these suits were practicals. Your studio's work is amazing as always. 

[SaurianStudios]

I love practical effects and CGI effects

[Acheiropoietos]

Thanks for sharing these amazing insights guys!

Great video! This series inspired me to do some prop design following the legacy workflow, albeit in a much lower cost approach (makerbot) but the technique is sound, get the reference out of the computer, finish traditionally, mold and cast in different materials.

you need to study an engeneering to work on this kind of stuff right? I mean working on 3D modeling on hinges for hard surfaces or robot like stuff, if so, what engineering you need to study? I would be so happy if anybody answers:)

Really truly enjoyed the vibe of this video. I am thrilled at how the computer can work as a side car to real world model building and that we are now at a place (in time) of recognizing the value of practical effects in a digital age.

Really amazing, thanks for the video!

I love....LOVE the special effects industry. I just wish I had the balls to deal with the cutting edge competition and the serious time tables. Too much stress for my small heart.

[SniperRed]

Fucking awesome, love special effects. They should do their own movie.

[maxdenford-teggin]

When I grow up I want to work for you guy at legacy effects

[simonsenmerde]

Legacy effects is just ... Amazing ! It will be a dream to work there !
