Have you seen the Gemini Wesbot Timelapse?

This timelapse video condenses an 8-hour CFX live stream down to roughly three minutes, showcasing the creation of their Gemini mask using Wesbot, a Kuka 6-axis robotic arm. The robot mills a near-complete sculpt from Monster Clay based on a digitally designed path program, while human artists step in throughout to refine and build up the clay by hand. The result is a hybrid fabrication process that blends digital precision with traditional hands-on craftsmanship. The finished sculpt will ultimately be used to produce a professional-grade silicone mask.
