I hope you don't mind a post that has nothing to do with audio but I thought this was just way too cool.

Tell me more!! Are these physical? They look like digital renderings ...  ?!?!

In either case, I can't help but wonder whether they can be animated. I don't say much here, but dance is another passion of mine.  :^)

They stand about 17" tall and come with a magnetic base that can be turned on and off. So you can lock them into poses. They are made from over 500 parts.

That is intricate!  It is always amazing to me what someone with a creative mind can do.

My first thought was that they were Photoshopped--I had my students do a similar project. I went to the site and learned that they are real, and movable. He has a lot of specs on each one, everything but the price--available on request. My guess is that they would cost about $2500. They are some beautiful pieces.

The word Stunned is appropriate when I saw these!  It is hard to even imagine the time spent 'turning' these out. But that is not all. How the Hell could you even have the mind needed to produce something this intricate? Still Stunned...

A really amazing concept and effort. My future son-in-law is a graphics animator. i am awaiting his impressions.
