SWEET, thanks so much :D
I have to say, I'm doing my best to hide the seams on my silicone tail (hence why it is taking me so long to finish this tail) but it is REALLY hard to hide them. O.O;
It'll always be pretty impossible to hide the seams unless you re-shape the entire foot area or
keep your toes constantly pointed.
Since your feet are probably going to be moving around there's just no way to deal with it realistically
besides modding the tail over to compensate for the shape/movement of your ankles.
I think another factor has to do with the ankles being measured incorrectly o_o
Iona.. if that is my tail........ how did you come across that picture? Ive never seen it before......
latexmans' tails don't have seams!
I realize this is an older photo, but Mike's tails do indeed have seams. I found an example on accident. Hiding seams just takes time and practice, hence why his tails seem to be seamless. He's had a lot of practice.
If you have seams on your tail, you could say that that's your lateral line. Fish have lateral lines that sense vibrations in the water to warn them of possible predators and sharks use theirs to hunt.
there is always seams unless it's poured into a full 3d mold. just a matter of how well hidden the seams are.
I know :) I was implying noticeable seams. I guess I sould've made that clearer lol. What tail makers use 3d molds to make their tails?
Raina, Raina, Raina...you remarked too quickly.
My tails have no seams, and I don't 3D cast.
What's with the thread resurrection?
This was the only thread I could find pertaining to seams, and not too long ago I learned about the purpose of a fish's lateral line, so I thought I'd share. I am really curious though what tail makers use 3d molds. I'm not very familiar with the process of making a tail in general.
And I think she was also including seams that the tail makers try to hide, not just seams like the Mertailor's.
Egads you're right! :facepalm:Quote:
