Hi,

The Hordes clothing is made from regular fabric you'd buy from any haberdashery. It's worth taking note we chose material which didn't have lose fibers. The bulk of their body was made from foam rubber, in this large pieces of sofa cushion. Inside the foam was a very basic wire armature which could do the simple job of piling food into the mouth!

Hope that helps?

What material did you use for those fat creatures costumes and what did you use to make the bodies for them.

Thanks.

Hi prammaven,

Not sure what you mean, by pin design.

The armature I used was a cheap one from the states, I've just finished testing a new armature, which is realy nice though made by animationsupplies.net. I might throw my tests up in the future.
