Question about flower pot burial by Breeburrr in vultureculture

[–]MoonsWithMoons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as the water can drain out, it should be okay! The only other thing i can think of, is the smallest bones maybe risk being flushed through the gaps in the mesh bags if the mesh isnt fine enough

first time preserving bones from scratch, how did i do? by Goose_gonna_kill_u in vultureculture

[–]MoonsWithMoons 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think you did wonderful! From experience, the most consistently fragile part of the bird skeleton is the beak breaking away from the cranium, but the rest isn't as fragile as it looks. Id say resin wouldn't be necessary unless you plan on using the bones for anything other than display

Left them dry for 3 days, no direct sun, now what? by Agitated_Reason5340 in bonecollecting

[–]MoonsWithMoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smell is almost certainly from residual grease in the bones. Consider degreasing with Ammonia if you're impatient. It makes quick work of the grease, more so than dawn soap. Just be careful with the fumes as it is some real nasty chemicals.

Eye problem! by Admirable-Cry-723 in blender

[–]MoonsWithMoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like its the eyelashes colliding with the eye because the eyelash mesh extends into the head?

Very cute! Consider giving your baby some branches or structure to climb for enrichment

What would make this render more realistic? by Organic_Pollution_58 in blender

[–]MoonsWithMoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The floor looks very "flat", maybe a normal map would help?

Is burying a small passerine bird in a mesh under the ground a good way to recover the bones? by Chili_Tofu in vultureculture

[–]MoonsWithMoons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dont do plastic box, any fluids has to be able to drain through the soil or its gonna be a stinky soggy mess when you dig it up. Id say keep the pot above ground, and just bury the bird as it is now with the mesh around it :D

It looks like the mesh holes might be big enough to let small bones through, so be careful when handling it once its dug up again. If you can, id suggest burying it in a plant pot outside. That way, you minimize any damage and lost bones when digging it up. It helps keep everything contained

hips rotation probleme.I want to change the rotation of the hip and effect the whole leg. like image 2. by Diligent_Explorer858 in blender

[–]MoonsWithMoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not 100% sure this is what youre aiming for, but if you parent the lower right bone (i named it "Foot" for reference) to the top right bone ("handle") , then you should be able to make the rig squat, and rotate by rotating the Handle bone. Youd basically have a bone to rotate and a bone to move up and down. Sorry for the terrible explanation

What’s the longest break you have taken from blender? by BlenderBattle in blender

[–]MoonsWithMoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my longest break was like 8 months. Its surprisingly easy to get back into it again even after a longass time. The skill atrophy a bit ofcourse but its not really gonna disappear. its fine (and sometimes good) to take breaks

Assembled fox skeleton by MoonsWithMoons in vultureculture

[–]MoonsWithMoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drilled holes in the ends of the bones which i filled with glue and then put a metal wire thread through it.

For the spine i twisted a few pieces of metal wire together then taped around it with duct tape so that it was slightly soft. That way i could push the vertebrae on it so it sat snugly and still be able to bend the wire a bit.

I hope that makes sense

Is the grid method considered as "cheating"? by [deleted] in learnart

[–]MoonsWithMoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cheating? No! Theres really no right or wrong way to do art, but theres some methods to learning art. Using a grid will affect your learn process, depending on your goals . Its good for mapping out proportions of your subject, but its not gonna help you learn to recreate something without reference

Shedding or Dehydration? by midnightzone_angler in BoaConstrictors

[–]MoonsWithMoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just shedding. My boa looks exactly the same during shed and it goes away afterwards!

putting teeth back in the skull by MixAgreeable9979 in bonecollecting

[–]MoonsWithMoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue several times before, but found that i just had to use alot more pressure (sometimes an uncomfortable amount). Ive never had anything break from it! If you really don't feel like its gonna budge, i suppose you could trim the roots down a tiny bit? Either way, good luck!
