Topic: 3D Toenails Anyone?

I've got a pretty odd request for you guys. I'm making a live action action film using finger guns, like only by shaping our arms and heads.

anyway, towards the end, a sniper takes out the hero, but I need a 3D animation of a fingernail, like the slow-mo bullets in 'Wanted' and 'The Matrix'

If anyone can make it and render it in blender, that would be awesome.

A fingernail ≠ a toenail.

But toenail has a better ring to it. It doesn't matter, thought. I would still like a fingernail.

i concur. but why not just chroma key a real toenail? (although I have no Idea where you would find one of those)

Re: 3D Toenails Anyone?

A 3D rendering, however, would require far less work, and would get a better effect.

Fixed. =P

Re: 3D Toenails Anyone?

I mean, it would require less work editing it together. I would still have to key it with the footage, but at least a 3D rendering would be preferably prekeyed and could have more flexible camera motion, as needed.

I might be able to do it but I'm not sure.

you could just take a picture of your fingernail then rotoscope the fingernail out.
