Inventing Reality: The Gentle Giant Story

by Joe Fordham, Jody Duncan (Editor)

Gentle Giant is a pioneer in applying 3D computer scanning technology to the action-figure and film industry. The book will be a lavishly illustrated history of Gentle Giant, from its founder Karl Meyer’s humble beginnings hand-carving models to the company’s current 3D imaging processes for creating collectibles and future intellectual property development. Inventing Reality will include illustrated step-by-step processes for creating a mini-bust; an articulated action figure; a digital double, from actor to final output; and a giant-sized figure from a digital character.
