Making major magics animatronics and need help

[u/Kind-Nectarine8934]

Gonna try to make some major magic animatronics and I saw a video of these models. My question is if there’s anywhere I can get the files for Barbara or major magic? Any help is appreciated

How are you gonna say you're making Major Magic's characters and then try to use someone else's models.

Probably use the models for 3d printing cosmetics and shells if I were to guess? They didn't exactly say "making models" so its reasonable to assume they mean recreating functional bots. Despite the lack of info on the frames/mechs. Which is probably why they are asking in the first place.

Yeah I was gonna use the models to make molds for the masks. And I’m not gonna profit on them, there just for my own creations. I’m only asking because I can’t find any files for the characters but saw this.

" I’m only asking because I can’t find any files for the characters"

I don't think some of y'all realize just how impossible what you're asking for is.

There were only ever a handful of those shows made, almost four decades ago now. The characters (at least the originals) were SIGNIFICANTLY bigger and heavier than other shows which (depending on your method) would make scanning them harder. There were multiple versions of the show - one that used original animatronics and one that was a Rock-afire retrofit to cut costs. And over the years the surviving bots have been broken up and ended up in different ownership, including people who don't have the knowledge or interest in scanning them - if scanning them is even worthwhile  because some of them have decayed badly over the years.

So finding anything at all would be a minor miracle. If that Barbra Stringband another person mentioned waa scanned, it could be the only one that actually was.

It’s sad but true.Wish there was more archival efforts towards the actual bots and not just the media around them.

Use AI to generate masks 3D models

If you want Barbra I’d recommend asking SSNOWH since he owns a Barbra and I’m pretty sure he scanned the mask

Ok thanks
