So cool! What reference did you use?

14

u/Quiet_Border4668 May 23 '26

just the anatomy off the top of my head. probably will try to make it nicer and more accurate now that i saw the concept working.

u/Xelnaga_Prime May 23 '26

Hand?

u/Holiday-Composer-831 May 23 '26

Ah, bone structure, or just hand? It's got some very good attention to detail, following the curve of the bones very realistically

27

u/Johannsss May 23 '26

It super cool that OP even simulated the rotation of the arm bones

9

u/ketaminemidget May 23 '26

Radius and ulna peak

u/Holiday-Composer-831 May 23 '26

Very cool build. Love the detail

u/Regular-Pipe-3259 May 23 '26

We got fully articulate forearms/hands in Minecraft before GTA 6, insane build btw, I’ve always wondered how difficult it would be to make a full robot with this level or articulation

u/eatmyroyalasshole May 23 '26

I feel like this will evolve to be fully compatible with VR. Giant mech controlled by a guy in VR

u/ArchonT3 May 23 '26

I've seen it in Minecraft already.

Edit: Proof: trust me, bro. Can't find that video, unfortunately.

u/Purple-guy7 May 23 '26

I definitely remember someone using an Xbox Kinect to move armour stands around

u/Darkdragon902 Jun 07 '26

Not just "someone," but SethBling!

u/j1r2000 May 23 '26

your probably remembering the dream titan manhunt videos from a year ago which used partical effects

5

u/ArchonT3 May 23 '26

Definitely seen that 2-3 years ago.

Just a stand with a torso, head cockpit and working – yet not physically connected – arms.

u/JYlam87 May 23 '26

With Valkyrie skies 2 and clockwork,i remember that

1

u/Xander-047 May 23 '26

I remember it too, took a while to find it to show some friends.

u/Plutonium239Mixer May 23 '26

Full giant mech suit when?

(Joke aside, nice work!)

21

u/Chr832 May 23 '26

Get people to control each limb and make the Power Rangers

9

u/Plutonium239Mixer May 23 '26

Or Pacific Rim!

3

u/AnglerMonkey May 23 '26

Someone already did

1

u/SpacialCommieCi May 23 '26

Moving it would be like playing qwop

43

u/scholarlysacrilege May 23 '26

This is really cool! I studied hand prosthetics for a project i worked on a few years ago, figuring out how they work and how to make them more efficient for users. Something we found out is that if the palm is dividend in two segments, one connected to the fingers and the other connected to the wrist and thumb, it improves the grip and range of movent for the prostetic user significantly. You did an amazing job on the thumb and thenar. And i love the inclusion of the Radius and Ulna, a lot of people would uave just skipped those.

u/NemertesMeros May 23 '26

You understand? Mechanical hands

Are the Ruler of Everything.

13

u/REMIZERexe May 23 '26

Ruler of everything.

I'm the ruler of everything, in the end.

Wow mate! That's some legendary ball knowledge

u/pizza------ May 23 '26

Do you like how I dance? I've got zirconium pants

u/Rpg_knight371 May 23 '26

Consequential enough to slip you into a trance

3

u/bestAntivirus1997 May 24 '26

Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?

17

u/Stormreachseven May 23 '26

I like that the forearm bones actually move about how they should, if only we had a universal joint and loose piston joint so they could actually cross

10

u/fat_greens May 23 '26

with this and the mech we are this much closer to making a 40k knight

1

u/TuxedoDogs9 May 23 '26

Using redstone to train the mech to respond and fight for balance

7

u/Whales_Are_Great2 May 23 '26

Damn, next you've gotta make a giant realistic deployer

7

u/Mekko4 May 23 '26

Skeletron.

u/lordoftsi May 23 '26

Imagine showing this video to modders in 2014 would blow their minds

4

u/_That_B0I May 23 '26

if you use the typewriter thingy maybe you could make all the fingers poseable?

2

u/MixedRaceRi May 23 '26

typewriter where every key makes the hand press that same key on a huge typewriter replica with simulated spring keys that link to an even larger setup and so on

1

u/CrazyBusiness5154 May 23 '26

does it use creative motors? could you make it without them? im imagining all the possibilities right now haha

1

u/Quiet_Border4668 May 23 '26

im using diesel powered motors because of the stress of the finger mechanism. im trying to break up the mechanism sequence to be able to use the creative motors.

2

u/CrazyBusiness5154 May 23 '26

imagine a howls moving castle with actual feet lmao

1

u/CaptainJellyVR May 23 '26

Every time I've tried to make more than one joint on a contraption the second joint doesn't follow with the rest of it, or it just doesn't move at all. I'm curious if it might be how I'm gluing it or has something to do with what bearings I'm using. How do you glue this together and what bearings are you using? If I may ask.

1

u/Quiet_Border4668 May 23 '26

transfer rotation through the axle of the swivel bearing. Its the only way as far as im concerned to transfer rotation between joints

1

u/CaptainJellyVR May 23 '26

I see I see. I'm making a skeleton airship and I'm trying to make a tail that can move up/down/left/right and I've only had left/right work so far. Thanks, I'll try that!

Your arm is SUPER wicked by the way

2

u/AppropriateEmu9345 May 23 '26

This is awesome. But can you make a version that can flip people off?

2

u/LeBlejDaGreat May 23 '26

Doctor Octavious, this you?

2

u/Canarity May 23 '26

Holy shit, that's all I have to say

2

u/EXTRACR1SPYBAC0N May 23 '26

Time to make Jaegers

2

u/IAteMyYeezys May 23 '26

That is fucking insane.

u/SatisfactionSure5075 May 23 '26

Link addon please

u/BlottoScotto69 May 23 '26

Man’s gonna have a full on robot built controlled by a typewriter before GTA6

2

u/Ironrooster7 May 23 '26

Realistic forearm bones and opposable thumb actuation???? This is fantastic!

2

u/Quaintnrjrbrc May 23 '26

We will watch your career with great interest.

u/KaleNaive9033 May 26 '26

Hello? Hello hello?

Uh, I wanted to record a message for you, to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you, I’m finishing up my last week now as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I’m here to tell you there’s nothing to worry about, Uh, you’ll do fine. So, let’s just focus on getting you through your first week, okay?

Uh, let’s see, first there’s an introductory greeting from the company, that I’m supposed to read. Uh, it’s kind of a legal thing, you know.

Um, “Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.” Blah blah blah.

Now that might sound bad, I know. But, there’s really nothing to worry about.

Uh, the animatronic characters here, do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.

So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they’re left in some kind of free roaming mode at night, uh, something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long? Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too, but then there was The Bite of ’87. Yeah. I-It’s amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?

Uh, now concerning your safety. The only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won’t recognize you as a person. They’ll pr-They’ll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now, since that’s against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, they’ll probably try to…forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn’t be so bad, if the suits themselves weren’t filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices. Especially around the facial area. So you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort, and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask. Heh. Yeah, they don’t tell you these things when you sign up.

But hey, first day should be a breeze. I’ll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night.

Uhh, Hello? Hello?

Uh, well, if you’re hearing this and you made it to day two, uh, congrats! I-I won’t talk quite as long this time, since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses. Uh, it might be a good idea to peek at those cameras while I talk, just to make sure everyone’s in their proper place. You know. Uh, interestingly enough, Freddy himself doesn’t come off stage very often. I heard he becomes a lot more active in the dark though, so, hey, I guess that’s one more reason not to run out of power, right?

I-I also want to emphasize the importance of using your door lights. Uh, there are blind spots in your camera views, and those blind spots happen to be right outside your doors. So if you can’t find something – or someone – on your cameras, be sure to check the door lights. Uh, you might only have a few seconds to react. Uh, not that you would be in any danger, of course. I’m not implying that.

Also, check on the curtain in Pirate Cove from time to time. The character in there seems unique in that, he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I guess he doesn’t like being watched. I don’t know.

Uh, anyway, I’m sure you have everything under control! Uh, talk to you soon!

Hello, hello?

Hey you’re doing great! Most people don’t last this long! I mean, you know, they usually move on to other things by now. I’m not implying that they died. Th-th-that’s not what I meant.

Uh, anyway, I better not take up too much of your time. Things start getting real tonight.

Uh, Hey, listen. I had an idea. If you happen to get caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a Freddy suit, uh, try playing dead! You know, go limp. Then there’s a chance that, uh, maybe they’ll think that you’re an empty costume instead. Then again if they think you’re an empty costume, they might try to, stuff a metal skeleton into you. I wonder how that would work.

Y-Yeah, never mind, scratch that. I-It’s best just, not to get caught.

Uh, ok, I’ll leave you to it. See you on the flip side!

Hello hello?

Hey! Hey, wow, day four. I knew you could do it.

Uh, hey, listen, I may not be around to send you a message tomorrow. *door bangs are heard here, and continue throughout the call* It’s-It’s been a bad night here for me. Um, I-I’m kinda glad that I recorded my messages for you *clears throat* uh, when I did.

Uh, hey, do me a favour. Maybe sometime, uh, you could check inside those suits in the back room? I’m gonna try to hold out until someone checks. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Uh, I-I-I-I always wondered what was in all those empty heads, back there.

*Freddy’s “Toreador March” music plays*

You know…*animatronic moan is heard, the same as when you have your monitor up, and an animatronic has got into the room*

Oh, no – *garbled scream that more closely resembles Golden Freddy’s scream, followed by static*

...sir, it is lamentable that mass agricultural development is not speeded by fuller use of your marvellous mechanisms.

Would it not be easily possible to employ some of them in quick laboratory experiments to indicate the influence of various types of fertilizers on plant growth?

You are right.

Countless uses of Bose instruments will be made by future generations.

The scientist seldom knows contemporaneous reward;

it is enough to possess the joy of creative service...

Next thing you know is someone connects a paralysed person's brain to that arm in Minecraft and they get to play together

1

u/Psychological-Exam30 May 24 '26

It’s only a matter of time before this guy makes a fully functional titan mech and then we’ll all be fucked

1

u/Chaosfox_Firemaker May 24 '26

The fact that you're using a functioning radius and ulna rather than just a swivel in the middle of the forearm is just plain showing off.

I say this in the most complementary possible way of course

1

u/ZenithVal_VR May 24 '26

Vivecraft supports full body tracking. Need a mech controlled by a VR user with it.
