What pigments did you use for the black light paintings? I want to render laser-tag inspired scenes in 3D rendering software like Blender, and I’m trying to figure out what pigments are commonly used for blacklight murals so I can use the exact emission-spectrum data for those pigments to make it as accurate as possible.
Great Question! Yes, our props can be treated for weatherproofing. As a matter of fact, the Octopus from this episode is proudly displayed outside our office in Indianapolis! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L3tgk7b2AKI.html Contact us -> wearecreativeworks.com/request-a-quote/
I really enjoyed Amusement 360. UnfortunatelyI have only been able to attend by ZOOM. I have a full time job and taking vacation time when you have 360 does not work for me. Wish I could get the recordings or some of the literature that was available. Struggling to pull my plan together.

Great question, Sophia! We have our foam shipped in as large blocks and then mill those blocks on our CNC machine to whatever size and shape our artist needs!
I'd like to see utilization of a mic. So many times do the guests not follow or hear the rules. Or struggle with putting a vest on. And because it's so loud with excitement the shariffs or attendants can't be heard. A mic can help them project their voice.
Absolutely loved this episode of Memory Makers Podcast! Danny Gruening and Russ Van Natta really know their stuff when it comes to scaling a business. The 3 methods they shared are game-changers! 👍👍👍
Wow! Very impressive! I used foam to make a realistic tree for a terrarium. But I did silicone casting of real bark. Maybe it could be useful for someone! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XVi6vDocFBM.html
That sounds EXCITING!!!! Great question as well! Once we have sculpted the foam to our prop's design, we apply a commercial grade hard coat layer to seal it. In your case, you'll want to find a hard coat that will withstand various weather conditions as well as account for if people will be regularly touching it as that will also deteriorate your prop quicker.
Hey again, Hydrohoes! We responded to your other comment but thought we would also ensure you knew about our educational event Amusement 360! amusement360.com/event/ It would be the perfect event for your needs to attend to get valuable content like risk mitigation, PR and marketing strategies, avoiding hidden costs, employee productivity, operator interviews, and much more.

Hello, miz F! GREAT Question! We use EPS foam (Expanded Polystyrene) and adjust the density in accordance to the prop and it's function. Hope that answered your question!
