In this brief but valuable excerpt from part 3 of "Muscle Suit Fabrication," master creature effects fabricator Ted Haines (From Dusk Till Dawn, The Muppets, The Bourne Legacy) reveals a clever trick for transferring muscle patterns and shapes from one foam piece to another without the need for a paper pattern. On the long journey towards building a full-body muscle suit, every little shortcut can help!
