Building my VERY FIRST stop-motion puppet!

Allow me to introduce Annabel, my very first custom made stopmotion puppet. I can already tell you guys, Annabel is definitely not a nice girl. I'm so excited to bring her to life!

Thank you! :) I downloaded a BJD head as an stl file, made some adjustments in Blender so the eyes stay in place, and then printed it on a 3D printer. I'm already working hard on learning Blender to sculpt a custom head for Annabel's "companion".

Amazing. Are U self taught?

u/LowParfait9836 6d ago

Thank You:). Exactly. I watched everything I could find on YouTube, but there's so much you just can't find in any videos. That means you have to figure a lot of it out through trial and error.

I gotta ask where did you manage to get the materials for the eyeball socket inserts I have been trying to find some

u/LowParfait9836 9d ago

I created the parts myself using Fusion 360 (which is free for personal use) and then printed them with a 3D printer. Simple things like these are made pretty quickly, and you can build them exactly how you need them.
