That's not enough.... read my lips... N O T E N O U G H
superman returns prototype crystal - proto2 in!!!!!!
- Thread starter hydin
- Start date
i am re-capping the movie over the weekend.
the best scenes for the crystals look is the fortress scene where he takes it out of the pedestal, and inserts it into another section of it. the only other scene that shows some good detail is the "dremel" scene and the "wave it around while yelling at lois" ones.
the original pics i had looked a little bit goofy/off. i am going to cap with a diff program this time.
the look i am going for is the nice big clear pic of luthor holding it from the trailer/official site. more facets, little narrower profile.
with what the prototypes run, trust me, this will be planned out before i send out for a new one :lol

I agree, i was hesitant to say anything (as i am in no way an expert on these matters) except that the prototype (while gorgeous in it's own right) seemed a 'fat' and not as complex (facets-wise) as i had remembered it. I know it's a slippery slope ... looking forward to future iterations

You really can't wait Chris huh 
?
I'm more relaxed than you and I'm living farer away from you - I know, that's gonna be great, if we all contribute our part into it...
So, take a deep breath and just relax... relax... everything will be damn fine

and no, i am pretty jazzed about this. its not only the crystal, but the sample color pieces they sent as well. its been killing me to not know what the green/blue/red and black ones look like.
i should have it in hand in about 12 hours

Ill give you $25 for the proto though....lol

the "new" size seems to be around 9 3/4" by 1.5". im going to do some testing first before i get an official "size" done.
and.... i gotta pass on the 25$
also, a neat fact i just discovered. the crystal is not 2 lbs like i thought before.
its actually 1 lb 12 oz
man i love this thing

apprecaite it
im not taking deposits on the crystal run for a bit though. bounced into a "yay" and "crap" snag. according to the factory the best results we can get is with our own dwf or dxg or dsomething file that i recognized as autocad. only problem is i am about 12 years out of date with autocad, so making a 3d model of this crystal is pretty much not going to happen by my hand.
if anyone has some autocad experiance and is willing to take a shot at it, i (and several others on the board) would greatly appreciate any help that we get

I can help out with the CAD design if you still need.
3D surfaced or solid modeled - whatever works best,
and it can be a dwg, dxf, igs, step, or any other 3D
generic format that you'd need.
PM me on it if I can help.

Looking at the photo w/ Keven holding it in the film... I think of saber diameters.
and how much an 1/8 differance makes.
So i'm holding up differant sabers in the same way he is holding the crystal. and the diam. i'm comming
up w/ is 1 1/4 x 8" long.
If you're doing a 1 1/2 hold a graflex in your fingers, it seems big to me. But try it w/ a Obi epi 1/2 or
MR Dooku. & the size looks right ?? my .02 hope it helps.

ooo green me want.
homage to the original geometry with a little superman returns bling.. save this drawing for a rainy day.
ps...hydin
the side view pics of your prototype crystal look fantastic.
5 minutes just messing around with it a bit.
