animateclay Hi Rom3, soft clay can be an issue when it gets hot. There's a few different techniques you can try. If you melt your clay in a double boiler, add some talc powder to it. That makes clay more firm. Just do a little at a time until the consistency is what you like. Just don't breathe in the talc since lately they have found it's dangerous to inhale. Another way is to melt bees wax into the clay... Show more 1 year ago

animateclay: well thank you for responding back so fast didn't think i hear from you this quick, good to know the person of the website is active and helps others we appreciate it. and i will gather the things you listed for my clay to stand much firmer, and durable, man i cant wait to get start it.Here's a coup[le of reference photos, but its been HOT♨here in California form the wild fires its hard for me to work with my clay. Also for an example, i want to do this type of Stop motion like the 2 Brother, called Twin Tales, well at least the sizes of there figure not the style i have to make my own, but if the photos i upload it for you to just look at. The most difficulties i have are the hands, i been trying to make them small as possible as to why i asked for ur Recipe for making the clay firmer and sturdier and thanks to you i can achieve that now. Also, the eye sockets hope it ain't too much of a struggle i also heat up a needle and make holes to be able for eye movement.  Don't want to make the figures to tall say about 5 inches at most Heres a Youtube Link of the fellas i mentioned LINK:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJKO4Gul6-s&t=39s&ab_channel=TwinTales  well Thank you very much for the most part ur one of the only Top stop motion Animators i have known that respond it back and took the time to do so. Oh man, I could not upload the pictures said not support it? I'll find a way later to find out how.

animateclay Hi Rom, I didn't see any pictures that you posted. Sometimes that part of the site breaks on us sad to say but you can always post in the forums. Yes you can melt holes into plastic eyes (such as with Delrin balls) or drill them with tiny drill bits. I like to use 1mm bits, the holes are small enough to insert a pin. Or sometimes you can just use some beads with holes already drilled in them... Show more 1 year ago
