How is the skin of a dinosaur made?

The appearance of the simulated dinosaur is an important medium to convey its mysterious and ancient beauty to the public, and the realism of its skin texture is the key to achieving the goal of being a home. In order to make each dinosaur look lifelike, the careful production of the skin during its production is particularly important. The process combines the best of art and craftsmanship, and the following details how the skin is made on the surface.

Material selection

The outer skin of the simulated dinosaur is mainly made of high-density sponge, fiber, and silicone. These materials need to be able to mimic the texture of real dinosaur skin, but also have the durability and flexibility to adapt to a variety of weather environments and display needs. Silicone material has become the preferred material for making simulated dinosaur skin because of its excellent elasticity and natural texture.

Process flow

Design & Sculpture: First, according to the specific types and design drawings of the dinosaur, the sculptor will make an accurate clay model of the dinosaur. This step is the foundation of the entire production process, requiring the sculptor not only to have a deep artistic foundation, but also to have an in-depth understanding of the physiology of the dinosaur.

Mold and copy: Once the clay model is complete, the next step is to make the mold. The clay model is covered with silicone or other materials for mold making, ensuring that the skin details replicated by the mold are consistent with the prototype. A selected material, such as silicone, is then injected into the mold, which is cured and then demolded to form the dinosaur's skin.

detailing and coloring: The skin removed from the mold undergoes a series of treatments such as deburring and sanding to ensure a smooth and flawless skin surface. After that, the artist will hand-color the dinosaur according to its species and characteristics, making it realistic and detailed.

assembly and perfection: The treated skin is mounted on the steel frame and mechanical structure of the dinosaur to ensure that the skin fits perfectly with the action structure. In addition, some finishing processes will be added, such as adding fine nicks, textures, etc., to further improve the degree of simulation.

Features

:

realism: Through the complex production process, the texture, color and size of each scale of the dinosaur skin strive to achieve the original realism.

Durability: The materials selected and the meticulous craftsmanship ensure the durability of the skin and the properties of water and sun protection, suitable for long-term outdoor display.

safe and reliable: all materials used to make the skin are environmentally friendly and ensure a high level of safety when interacting with people.

through the above-mentioned meticulous production process, each simulated dinosaur can be lifelike, vividly displayed in the audience configuration status report, and become a highlight in many fields such as science and education, amusement, film and television. Behind this is the respect for life and the pursuit of the integration of technology and art, and it is also a new interpretation of the ancient biological world.
