Nice to see you here :beer: The hands were a pain but at least now I know how to roughly do them. They are a mix of Bunk’s and Antropus’ tutorials, plus intensive study of Otto.

Update: I finally decided to go with the attached blade, at least for now. I will probably change it later but I wanna start with an idea about retractors I have.

I guess that blade looks evil enough now :slight_smile:

With some drops of blood on them later - yups, it will be wicked.

#83

yes yes JamesMK… wicked :buttrock:
cool Cartesius !
jdd

#84

Ohhh medical surgery… going with this idea myself.
Anyway, pretty good execution, though I think you could try to make the hand a little less dead.
Don’t know if I’m clear…

Good job!

:thumbsup:

@JamesMK: Yep, there will be blood :slight_smile: But hey, what happened to the bunny!?

@jddog: Thanks!

@liquidik: I think I know what you mean about the hand being “dead”, it needs some more movement somehow. I will try to fix that once I get all the instrumnets in place as it’s easier to attach them in a neutral pose.

Good, blood…

Seems like the server upgrade couldn’t handle the raw animal magnetism of the bunny and decided to kill the file.

I’ll fix it when I get back home…

Hi there, Cartesius,

I see you’ve made quiet a good job with thouse fingers of yours…

It’s just that I think you should take a notice of some parts which connect fingers with mechanics… It just that I think it will be kinda difficult for him to work on the eyes of his patients… Meening that some parts may interfare with the operation process… For example the syringe is very with its nidle is thery long and it could be quiet an obsticle during the work…

Maybe you shoud try to make so the Doc could assemble and dissassemble when he doen’t need it… somthing like rolling it bacwards… then the work should be more enjoyble… You know what I meen :twisted:

But still You said in the begining that those who worked on the eyes on simple people couldn’t afford them self those expensive tools… So it’s could just be like a suggestion… :rolleyes:

Anyways… Great work up until now… Keep it up :thumbsup:
p.s. sorry for my bad english

Hi there, ExanJU!

I think you are absolutely right, the length of that syringe has been bugging me as well. All the other instruments are moveable and can be folded away so they aren’t interfering with the operation but the syringe is solid. On the other hand all instruments can be attached and removed as needed, including the syringe, so if it gets in the way during an operation he can just remove it (unlocking it from the finger and unscrewing the fluid filled tube on the top). I’ll leave it alone for now but I’ll keep your alert in mind when it comes to assemble the scene more completely, so thanks for pointing it out!

Cheers!

PS. Your English is perfectly fine, so don’t worry about it :slight_smile: DS.

just a thought but couldn’t you come up with a seringe that can bend?

#90

i’am just hoping that he will not close his hand to fist …
that will be un-cool … :smiley:

#91

Good thing he isnt in the army, those snap saluts could get painful… Doh,
Joking aside the gear is coming along really nicely Anders.

#92

I think the hand modelling is coming along very well. The head and shoulder close up shot should look excellent when finished.

Here’s what I’m thinking: bending the syringe will be difficult but what about a retractable/removable needle? It’s the long needle that’s causing the trouble but if that somehow could be made to retract either into the tube or lifted above it, that would solve a lot of issues. I’ll see what I can come up with.

Very un-cool :slight_smile:

At least he would have lots of nice scars along his forehead :slight_smile: And thanks!

Thank you! I just hope I can pull it of as best as I can but there’s still plenty of time left (or so it seems now).

Update: Finally came up with a construction for the retractors that will work with the thumb. More to come.

#94

Wonderful progress Anders! Quite a puzzle you have there, and its excellent to see such effort in the smallest of mechanical details. BTW, have you considered a drill? Lots of ocular bone to perforate, eny eyefluid to drain.

Lycka till!!!

#95

Tackar, Peter! A drill might be something to consider for the pinky, now that you mention it, as I still don’t know what instrument he should have there. Not a bad idea :slight_smile:

hehe:thumbsup: clean modelling!

Thank you!

Update: The retractors are coming along in a steady pace. I still have to figure out what kind of “teeth” or grip it should have (to replace the discs), and there are some wires that needs to be drawn.

/Anders

#98

Very neat mechanism - almost like it was built by a watchmaker. Cool indeedy!

#99

I think I can appreaciate the smallest most intricate details as much as anyone.I am a big fan of in depth details.It’s very nice to follow and a get a front row seat close-up.I’ll be looking for more as you progress Cartesius…Nice job thus far.:thumbsup: :beer:

Thanks! I had a hard time figuring it out but a catalogue of medical instruments gave the impetus for it.

I am a big fan of in depth details.

So am I. :thumbsup:

Update: Wires are in place. Now for the teeth.
