Regal Robot Rancor Puppet Replica Statue
This is the Rancor puppet replica produced by Regal Robot. It's scanned from the original, screen-used puppet at the Lucasfilm archives. I did all of the digital zbrush work on the scans. This included a major repose of the puppet because the real one is unfortunately frozen in a very awkward pose. Digitally repairing the scan and correcting aspects that have deteriorated on the real puppet, resculpting missing elements and areas that the scanner couldn't reach, making sure all the detail was perfected for printing of the master. The process took many months of going over every inch of the model literally dozens of times and comparing to every vintage, behind the scenes photos we could reference. Very proud of how this came out. Hope you enjoy!
