I wish i could have gone. 4 of my favorite prop builders in one panel...that's just heaven right there. Now add Blindsquirrel, and i'd be able to die happy just watching the youtube video.
Thanks Matt for the awesome work.
Cleric, that PDF is great, thanks
As someone who only recently started making replicas, this information is invaluable and is now my 1st point of referance. You guys are awesome and I will be watching each episode with great interest
Very kind words indeed, and I greatly appreciate itKailon said:
Part two of the panel video is now up! Check it out, share with friends, like it, comment on it... you know the routine.

The next segment is uploading now. It's all about tools, and I do the talking. Whoohoo!
If you've already subscribed to the channel, thanks! If not, please do! I'd love to hit 100 subscribers soon
Nah, I couldn't think of any questions at the time, PLUS I had done a lot of yelling the day before, and my voice was ruined. If I got on that microphone and had my voice crack like it had been doing all day...ooh, hahaMattMunson said:
Also I had no idea that MDF was as toxic as it is, though! Thank goodness for going "Gah, I'm tired of breathing in sawdust, RESPIRATOR TIME!"
Yeah, MDF is pretty awful stuff, but REALLY nice to work with! lol. Just ask Zander!
Here is part three, and this one is all about tools!
Part 3 - From Pixels To Props - PAX East Panel - YouTube
I think six. I don't think we went much over our one hour, but as you can see the episodes are varying in length.
Part four is up, this one is all about outsourcing

Very cool stuff! I was just wondering as I've noticed at least on two or three occasions that what Bill said about using other peoples images or props for references has not been supported on the RPF. Could some of you "masters" explain this to me?
Which part did Bill say that threw you off? He talked about googling for reference images, and using those images as reference to then make pieces. THAT is certainly not frowned up on. Please give more details, and I'll see if I can help
In other news, part FIVE of the pax panel is now up. I have two more parts to go, both of which cover the Q&A session. Those should be up shortly.
Part FIVE of the Pixels to Props panel at PAX is now live on my youtube channel. This is the last part of the presentation, though I've got two more episodes that will cover Q&A. Please comment and subscribe if you like what you see!

In part one from 8:15 onwards. Before this Bill talks about Volpins reference images and then says that:MattMunson said:

"There are lots of other people like on the RPF who have already taken pictures of their finished projects, you can use those images, nice high resolution images, as references for your projects."
I think it's just bad wording or maybe I'm reading too much into it?
Honestly, I don't see where the conflict is. to my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with using photos of someones finished work as REFERENCE for your own build. To tell the truth, I PERSONALLY wouldn't do it, as I wouldn't want to replicate someone elses replica! if that makes any sense. I would prefer to find reference material of the actual hero prop, or in the case of games, reference taken straight from it.
I personally don't see any conflict with what Bill was saying and the ideologies that are supported here on the RPF.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the wording. Can you maybe give me a specific example of how this could be construed as bad? Because I'm just not seeing it. Sorry!
In other news, part six is now up! And part seven is uploading as we speak! The last 2 episodes cover the Q&A portion, and then that's all she wrote.
I hope you enjoy the videos, and get some good info out of them. If there's any things you have questions about, please post them here.
It's probably just my fever talking since I can't find a single thread that covered the issue I was trying to make...ummm, clear...unclear, whatever, never mind.
Thanks Mr. Munson anyway. You're the best.
lol. No worries man, and always happy to discuss further once your fever breaks.
My channel is rapidly approaching 100 subscribers, and I would really appreciate your help in getting there! What only takes you a few seconds means a great deal to me, so please subscribe
As of today, the entire panel is available for viewing on youtube, including a two part Q&A session.
Here's the link to my channel. Please check it out and subscribe. whoohoo!!

Well you have 80 now.
I've been wanting to check these out, so I'll have to watch them tomorrow.
Thanks Sluis! I am going to throw myself a congratulatory party when I hit 100.
The pattern seems to be that the first video in the series gets a ton of hits, and it trails of drastically after that. I need to figure out a way to keep viewers interested. I know that when it comes to something like a panel, it can be a little dry, and not very visually stimulating. For some upcoming interviews, I'm definitely going to experiment with a few things. stay tuned!
Awwwww yeah! Did someone say Munson-in-a-bikini?MattMunson said:

Loved the videos! They were great! Thanks to all the artists for hosting the panel and matt for uploading the videos.
It was pretty good. I knew a lot of the stuff, but it was great for new people. I know you didn't go in depth with a lot of subjects, but on the primer, you also need to make sure what color primer! I used dark gray primer on my Jedi training remote years ago and it took a ton of white to cover it.
It was cool to put faces to people too. I didn't even know Zander was the same guy who made the Mass Effect stuff, Bryar pistol, etc. I'd been watching on here!
That was my bad, Im horrible at keeping my personal username (zanderwitaz) and my (zprops) usernames consistent!Sluis Van Shipyards said:

As for the panel, its pretty awesome how much support we had, and its just as awesome that Matt has taken the time to record all of this, edit it and upload/post it. I owe a lot to you guys!
