Making Ocean Wave Resin Dice The Easy Way

[@Rybonator]

I wonder if these dice will make Waves? Or if they'll cause a Splash in the community? Either way, it's smooth sailing from here 😘👌

[@diabelskiananas8679]

Please stop I just want to see my family

[@kiroropupper3914]

Just a heads up, if you were to paint tiny seagull shapes on plastic wrap with acrylic, you could peel up the tiny birds, shape them into little "m"s and then insert them into the sky resin.

[@lynnaekenzington]

They’re cute!!!!

[@goatelope7539]

I really liked the birds! I think a really fine brush might help , because if they're smaller it might seem less "cartoony"

@@Rybonator For this and just any fine brush work, I highly recommend nail liner brushes, like for nail art. They are incredibly fine, much finer than even the finest liner for typical paintbrushes, and you can get them for pretty darn cheap online

[@paulinapaola]

I think it's pretty brave that you actually drew the seagulls! I wouldn't dare. I'd spill some black nail polish onto a silicone mat, let it dry, peel it off and then cut out the tiny seagulls. It would be pretty nerve-wracking so of course that's the one method I'd go for 😂

[@Rybonator]

Oh man, that's actually super smart!

[@paulinapaola]

@@Rybonator A judicious use of nail clippers might be better for getting the curvature right than scissors

The seagulls might have needed a thinner brush (an *even* thinner brush) but honestly I love the shadows they cast down onto the waves and the 3D effect!

[@christhesoulcastermage]

Dang, these look so cool, in love the transitioning colors on the numbers

[@Rybonator]

Thanks Chris! I always like it when there are dual number colors

[@Meoiswa]

The separate transparent layers may be from either differently ratio'd mixing of part A/B, or different room temperature affecting the cure time. Since the transparent resin is *very* transparent, minute differences in refractivity will be very evident in the interface layer. I would love to see a big D20 version of this Ocean wave idea, but this time doing 1/6 Clear -> Modpodge transparent -> Modpodge White foam -> 2/6 Light blue -> 2/6 Darker blue -> 1/6 Sand, so that the water surface looks more rough (since its base is the modpodge layer), there's a gradient of blue as depth increases, and the lowest number is "buried" at the bottom of the sea. Extra points for putting a boat/chest micro figurine halfway between the dark blue and sand layers!

[@Meoiswa]

With the chest figurine, you could have the D20 be the one at the bottom (reverse the layers), and paint the number gold, so it's like the gold inside the chest buried at sea!

[@Tunanunaa]

For add-ins I’ve seen several sets of dice floating around that have little shells put in them. Always looks super cute. If you search “dollhouse fish” you can also find tiny fish made for miniatures that would look awesome in the water part

[@Rybonator]

If I do a beach set, I'll totally put in some shells! :)

[@Rybonator]

Oh gosh, lots of pressure... Hope you are wanting to learn how to diy liquid glitter soon

[@ardemus]

Nice. You could absolutely add various sea dwellers to each die. Put a giant squid, a kraken, merfolk, etc. The same basic concept would be great with semi-opaque lava (even throw in some orange or red glow in the dark) instead of water bellow the clear sky. Even a diaorama with a green foundation layer and some tiny models, maybe wagons, minis, trees, etc, would be cool.

[@soulsound2924]

I LOVE the birds it adds so much more effect to the dice!

[@Rybonator]

I'm glad you like them on there! I was so on the fence :)

[@MadMeeper]

You could have the d20 with the ship, but the other dice with other misc ocean things like - maybe theres fish in the d4, or a shark in the d12, maybe a buoy in another - it can be ocean travel themed as opposed to all the inserts being a singular thing!

[@Rybonator]

That's not a bad idea! Create a full ocean set haha

[@biancabrooks280]

Could you potentially 3D print a teenie dice goblin and put him into a die? I think that would be so cute! Diorama Dice Goblin Dice!!

[@LucretiaPearl]

"Ignore the bird, follow the river." -High Aldwin from Willow. LOL! I'd suggest seeing if there are glitter birds, bats or dragons in that size. I've got a glow in the dark nail polish with black glitter bats in it that reminds me of the seagull size you were trying for. But I also think it would be cool like you said to try a little cotton floof for clouds. Maybe even do a little bitty island.

[@Rybonator]

Oh a teeny dragon would be amazing honestly haha

[@silvrfoxie594]

Might be cool to see what you'd come up with for some dice based around each colour of mana from Magic The Gathering, seeing as MTG and D&D both have crossover with eachother. Would also be cool to see what you do next with this kind of technique of painting things in the middle of dice! I really like the transition from ocean blue to painted waves to clear skies, plus the birds are actually pretty cool too even if they're simple! They add extra depth to the dice which is pretty neat!

You should print some small bird silhouettes on plastic film/clear sticker paper and insert them vertically in the clear part!

Reminds me of those layered resin trays they make. They pour, cure, and paint layers of resin, and from above they look like dragons or fish.

[@guidetoanything]

I liked the birds, they came out well conceptually, however for the next ones I'd recommend trying to find tiny bird stickers/papers to put in, just like you can put tiny fabric flower petals, unless you know a talented bird artist. Thanks for the video :)

[@ad89593]

I bet you could use a shaped piece of glitter in place of the painted seagulls! They pick up pretty easily with a toothpick for precise placement and with this method they’re suspended in a layer instead of sinking to the bottom like I think I’ve seen in some of your past experiments. Keep up the great work!

[@Rybonator]

Oh I'll have to try that! Thanks :)

[@Kagane1001]

A idea for fixing the seagulls vertically in the dice, maybe you can use stickers made from black polish/UV resin! If you paint on some kind of foil or smooth plastic (ie. Joghurt Cup), you can peel the motif of and fix it vertically in the middle with a drop of UV resin or clear nail polish. I suggest painting what you want, then coating it with clear nail polish/resin. Makes it less likely to tear when peeling them of

[@Kagane1001]

[@RulesandRulings]

An idea for making the little bird idea work. If you set the resin at a slight angle while it's curing it'll give you the illusion of a 3d perspective, and then you you can use any fine-line pen to draw the birds. I think this would leave you with birds that look small and don't seem to be on a flat plane.

[@Rybonator]

That's not a bad idea! Maybe curing it sideways with just a tiny amount :)

Definitely decided to take the plunge and start amassing the equipment and materials to try making my own dice, hopefully soon, because of your videos! They're great. I have one question that I'm struggling to find an answer to, though that could be because I have approximately eight hundred tabs open going in different directions lol, and I may have missed it if you included it in a video, but I was wondering if you have an idea of when to know it's time to change your zona paper out?

[@machazychaz]

I think clouds would be cool, maybe not necessarly white ones because that might look messy with the waves but maybe pink/orange sunset clouds? Not sure if cotton wouldnt just clump in a weird way

[@shonmobs]

Possibly a little under mixed for that line? I've had that issue before. Was that the last dice you finished up? Seems that I'll end up with a little part A stuck to the sides of the bottom of my mixing cup.

[@Rybonator]

It was first, so that's probably the reason, you're right!

[@JaydotDice]

Resin distortions: When you are working in two batches of resin, there's an increased risk of a difference in resin ratio. Not enough to prevent cure but enough to make the two batches have different translucence between the two. Sometimes there's also a sort of waviness in the resin, and that's usually the resin moving around as it cures if your pressure pot is losing pressure even slowly it means the resin cures at different pressures. Lots of reasons it can happen because we aren't machine-factories, we're just doing our best manually measuring things.

[@Rybonator]

That makes me feel a bit better :) I wonder if I pour the second layer while the first is in the kind of jelly phase if that'll make things better!

[@JaydotDice]

@@Rybonator sometimes! There's other risks with that if you are trying to get even layers but it's worth experimenting with. My approach is to be at peace that sometimes I just have to throw out a set and do it again 😅

[@richar5d644]

I think another great improvement would be using some kind of a modeling water effect that modelers use on dioramas to make the waves and the wave foam realistic. I'm not sure how it would look when used on such a small surface but I think if it would work it would look really cool,

[@Rybonator]

The other main reason I didn't do that, is it would really throw the weight of the die off and make in unbalanced if it had large waves. BUT, you are totally right, it would LOOK waaaay better :)

[@binaryteddybear8741]

You could make a shipwreck set, where you have a full wreck in the D20 and debris, like small barrels and stuff, in the other dice

[@Girfan83]

I think some little fish in the water would be cute. You could even make little simple sort of teardrop shapes for them if you wanted something easy/simplified like the M seagulls. I do wonder if you could do some sort of Petri dish technique to make coral-like formations in there though

[@teatoucan1305]

In my experience, the line between different layers of resin seems to be caused by a few things, primarily the amount of mixing in both layers. On the d6 you showed at 6:18, you can see swirls in the top layer, which typically happens when the resin isn't totally uniform and needed to be mixed a little more. I also notice this effect a lot more with Envirotex than I do with EpoxaCast, but I'm not sure why. It could be that the surface of the first layer is reacting with air, since it's exposed to air when it cures, and different brands of resin might react differently to air. Don't quote me on that though, it's mostly a guess, lol.

[@Rybonator]

Ahh maybe I just undermixed these bad boys. Leave it to the master to show me how to fix my mistakes! I'll have to try your resin instead as well :)

[@Rybonator]

You are now DIRECTLY quoted, and if I sink or swim it's on you. (Jk

@@Rybonator Haha, I didn't fix anything yet ;) The layer separation probably happens for a number of reasons, and I don't know what they are, mixing just seems to be one I've noticed.

[@jacksonbrusseaux4754]

Do you have any info on how Tea Toucan did theirs? I know you said its super complicated, but I'm always looking for new dice making techniques.

[@teatoucan1305]

Nowadays I use a custom mold for the waves, but prior to making a mold, I would use a partial cure technique. I would pour a layer of resin for the waves, and let it sit for a few hours. After the resin starts to cure and becomes really thick, there's a point where it can be shaped and will hold its shape. I would shape the waves with toothpicks and silicone-tipped tools. Definitely a bit of a pain because you have to keep poking at the resin every couple hours to see if it's gotten to the sweet spot, which is why I use a mold now, lol

[@Rybonator]

Tea Toucan coming in hot with the REAL answers :)

[@shizucheese]

I think the birds were a cool idea, but maybe if you ever do this again use something thinner to draw them, like a toothpick. Maybe use a similar technique to how you made the waves to add some clouds for the birds to fly among (or maybe make it multi-tiered things with the clouds and birds on different levels?)

[@Rybonator]

I used a toothpick, but some people are suggesting a needle which might work better! I like the multi-tier idea though!

Fish in the sea? These look cool.

How did I miss that pun, and opportunity to add fish in the ocean!

[@phineassmith3561]

Great punz, dice, and sponsor transition. Could you make thunder cloud dice with this technique? You could layed small tufts of grey cotton on one side and then draw little blue and purple lightning bolts in between the layers. Idk, just a random idea. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@Rybonator]

Oh absolutely! I basically did that with the spider dice in my Halloween vid :) Also thank you!

[@phineassmith3561]

@@Rybonator oh right, those were fun. I forgot you did those.

[@itskitty808]

You know what would be cool? A diorama dice, recreating the scene were Dr. Frankenstein brings his monster to life.

[@danielletdg8423]

I think it would have been amazing to used miniatures, and put a fish or 2 in the water, still have the waves, and then add realistic birds. So much more work maybe, but I bet it'd look cool. Keep up the great work!

[@Rybonator]

That's a pretty good idea. Maybe I'll try that out sometime :) Thanks Danielle!

Me, a complete dice goblin of a marine biologist: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN

[@mandaloriandy]

I wonder if there's some way you could make the birds vertical rather than horizontal? Ooh, maybe teeny-tiny little cut-out paper Ms to stand up in the resin? hmmm.....

[@Kagane1001]

I think nail polish should work. You can paint the seagulls on a smooth plastic surface like foil or a joghurt cup, coat it with clear nail polish then peel the sticker of. Then fix the sticker vertically in the dice

[@Rybonator]

I totally should have tried something like that! It would have made them even ebtter :)

[@narrativegoblin]

Can you give any recommendations for an air pump?? I'll be getting the same pressure pot you have, but I'm not sure what I need in a pump

[@TaylorSchumacher255]

Thank you for the video!

[@Rybonator]

Of course! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@Zaqinabox]

Thicker paint and thinner brushes if you decide you want to do something similar to your m seagulls. Maybe some lurking fish or other creatures.

[@Rybonator]

That's a great idea! Fish in the water would be awesome :)

[@Stormandfire]

Thick acrylic medium would be much better to use than mod podge as it has more dimension and would give more height to the waves. Mod podge being essentially a thinner version of acrylic medium. I think there's also a thicker version of mod podge which would also be good and give more dimension.

[@Rybonator]

Fair enough! I might have to try that :)
