Does anyone know of any tutorial on carving soft foam for making

Bumping for interest. Adam Savage did a 1 day build of a puppet at Rick Lyon's shop, not a tutorial per se, but probably good for an overview on the process.

Seems like there's less carving and more shaping via stitching and barge cement.

There are multiple ways to go about it, though carving out your puppets from foam gives a bit more control over the form than working with a pattern.

Stan Winston seems to have a good series on it

Sadly it's pretty expensive and hasn't been uploaded anywhere I don't believe.

It seems like there's multiple ways to start a sculpt as well.

In the pic he looks to be simply sticking together the flat planes for the basic form, though http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/puppets/make.html goes right into a foam block... and there's still the issue of finding techniques and tips for making something look decent and not like some deviantart reject. I haven't been able to find a thing on that.

I know a guy that makes good quality puppets from foam he gets from shipping boxes that are used to ship servers. He hits up the cardboard dumpsters at office/industrial parks.

Just something to consider for free foam.

Good tip, I appreciate it.

There is a good video ^^ on YouTube where Jim Henson explains the process for how he co-developed the muppets from soft foam and various kinds of fabrics.

I think you may have gotten the second link mixed up friend.

Also, here's another video on foam carving, but the subject matter is cringey. Also, if I had to guess, I'd say this isn't the best work flow:

Anyone know if this series is any good?

>>1063668
That is amazing. Have any other characters from that movie been made?

Stan Winston vids are great. Have no experience with that specific one, but I picked up a copy of the metallic paint lesson from somewhere, and it is awesome.
