New to the forums and I am loving the information. I wasn't able to find this in the search tab, if I missed it my apologies. My question though. I was watching the NIKE Lebron and Kobe puppet commercials and I noticed that their arms are formed to have actual definition. Is that achieved by getting the arms done in a tube fashion and then add foam onto the arms to get that look? Or is it something that is done with a pattern and then cut that way? Any light on this would help so much. I have my body designed and head pattern done so if I can just get this arm definition done somewhat like those puppets, these guys will be finished! Thank you in advance for any help on this!

Either method you described would work. Hard to tell from the picture which they used. I would go for the tube with definition added since it may be simpler to get what you want. They could have also carved them out of foam.

Thnx! I was going to add definition just wanted to see if anyone attempt3d this method first. Still debating on full or half puppet design. I cant seem to get the legs right haha.
