You can do some boolean operations directly in Mesh workbench (depending on what version of FreeCAD and other software you are running) on the STL or you can attempt to convert it into a solid in Part WB do some work on it and re export that as an stl file.

One unexpected problem: Evans’ bulked-up arms were simply so big - “like tree trunks” says Williams - that in profile they’d block as much as a one third of his body. “If it was at all possible, we did the ‘Steve slimming.’?” That entailed starting from the original shot of Evans doing the role, then shrinking him down. “In post, we’d decide (which of the three styles) was the best technique,” Williams says. That sped up shooting and saved money in production, but made Lola’s work somewhat more expensive and difficult. ![]() Without motion control rigs, the different versions of the shot didn’t match perfectly. On the set, the camera team captured each shot three times: Once with Evans doing the performance, once with Deeny doing his best to match Evans’ performance, and once “clean” - without the character of Steve Rogers in the shot at all. They nicknamed the approach, “Steve slimming.” So the Lola team had to invent a method for shrinking him down. “That was mandated by the director and the studio, because they wanted Evans’ performance,” Williams says.Įvans, too, resisted the use of a body double except where absolutely necessary. For another 10% or so, Evans’ head was attached to Deeny’s body, “Benjamin Button” style.īut the vast majority of shots, according to Williams, were done by digitally shrinking Evans’ own face and body. Lola vfx supervisor Edson Williams says the company’s f/x techs used three separate techniques.įor about 5% of the shots, he says, Evans’ face was digitally attached to a body double, Leander Deeny, using the same method developed for “The Social Network” to put Armie Hammer’s face on a double. ![]() Lola Visual Effects, the Santa Monica-based studio that specializes in digital cosmetic enhancement, did Evans’ slenderizing.

A cottage stood about 300 yards from the beginning of this swarm. The frogs were about ten days old, very small. I was particularly astonished, as I knew the nearest water to be the Little Reservoir-quite mile away. Nowhere else along the road was a frog to be seen. I thus proceeded quite 400 yards, where the phenomenon ended as sharply defined as it had begun. ![]() Pharaoh’s magicians reproduced the frog infestation, but they could not. It was, as was the case in all the plagues, the result of Pharaoh’s refusal to let the people of Israel go. This plague would affect everyone from Pharaoh to servants. There was to be no place in Egypt where the frogs were not present in large numbers. ![]() For example, the plague of frogs is performed as a light aria for alto, depicting frogs jumping in the violins, and the plague of flies and lice is a light chorus with fast. They lined the hedges and covered the road so thickly that I had to walk on tiptoe. The second plague involves an overwhelming infestation of frogs. The work was especially popular in the 19th century because of its numerous choruses, generally one for each plague, and its playful musical depiction of the plagues.
