Bon bon’s reaction to Freddy’s head splitting open was just adorable.

[@Plasma_Effect]

i love how bon bon gets scared when funtime freddy opens his faceplates

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

That's so cool. My favorite parts definitely are Bon-Bon's eerie endoskeleton and the way you've incorporated his storage tank with both a more feasible casing opening mechanism and the sort of hybrid between CTW's and SL's depictions of the character's internals. The altered limbs to avoid clipping is definitely also an improvement, I think, though I think the ball-shaped joint covers on the elbows could've been replicated if with a bit of weirdness elsewhere. Logically these endos need two elbow and knee joints, and some other adjusting parts, to match any more closely to the game models - they're mentioned to break down all the time due to their excessive complexity by the technicians, after all.

[@TheNickofTime]

The removal of the colorful joint covers in the limbs was a stylistic choice as much as anything, I wanted more places to see the writhing Ennard tubes doing their thing. Those joint covers will be left on if I ever come round to do the Toy animatronics from FNaF2 though, since I think they make up a more important part of the overall look there.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

@@TheNickofTime Ah, that makes sense. Does make me wonder about how making a completely covering casing, but making _every_ panel able to open, might go. I may get on that. It indeed was one of the main features of the Toy line, particularly compared to the others they were shown next to. Though they also have significant clipping, both them and the withered.

[@greasypreacher]

@@TheNickofTimeI’m so sorry, but the tubing has me stumped. I know it’s more for preservation of the original endos and how they incorporate into Ennard and Molten, but i’d love to hear what kind of technical uses the tubing might have, in movement and structural stability. Love your work❤

[@grace4422]

@@greasypreacherI think it’s mostly to resemble muscles. It could also exist to help support the heavy casing since they still have normal endo skeletons underneath iirc. Or possibly for more fluid human-like movements since they’re more flexible. (Although I don’t know how this would really make sense since it’s just the joints moving, not the actual body parts.) I think Scott also said he just got a new pc and wanted to experiment with more advanced models but that’s more of a “why are they there” and not “what do they do” type answer. Hopefully we will find out for sure in future games. It would be cool to get a canon breakdown of design choices :)

[@ThirstySerolf]

Your models will always leave me speechless. I can't fathom how someone can be this talented at so many things

[@steveglitter]

I love how you make these grounded in reality. I could totally see something like this existing in real life

[@rainbownote6881]

I just have to say, and this may be more personal for me, that the detail of altering the joints so that the clipping like in the game disappears makes me SO HAPPY. For me at least, clipping has been something that wasn’t always pleasant to see and always bugged me, mainly because I thought it got rid of the ‘realistic’ feeling for me. I get that FNaF isn’t real and it was just Scott’s own indie project, but the fact that people actually acknowledge physics in this makes it feel so real and thought out. I love your attention to detail on everything, it just adds a whole new perspective to the FNaF universe. Well done!

[@00litch00]

Brooo, I love your models! I work with electronics, and to add even more realism, I think you should add some more wires in groups of three. For example, if you have 5 motors in the head, you can add 3 wires per motor because servo motors have three wires: one black, one red, and one yellow. I hope that helps! :)

[@TheNickofTime]

Thanks for this advice! I very rarely work with electronics, and so I’m hesitant to model wires unless I’m sure I know where they’re going and what they’re supposed to do. I don’t want to just have a bunch of fake wiring pretending to serve a purpose, but that often means it gets neglected entirely.

[@paranaenselol]

​​@@TheNickofTime i think the funtimes would use stepper motors, more precise, more movement and come in very small to VERY big, stepper motors also use more wires so theres that

[@dominicC1964]

0:27 Dude, Funtime Freddy’s endoskeleton makes him infinitely scarier than the original design. Nice job! 😄🔥

[@omnisystem6030]

I like how he removed the extra faceplates they just seemed unnecessary no hate tho

[@SLZABBJNGO]

It seems like a really specific thing to point out, but I love the wavy metal parts on Freddy's arms, most visible at 0:55

[@TheNickofTime]

Those parts are there to help it preserve the look of the real design from Sister location, where the basic shape of the limbs are formed by these wavy tubes.

Not the child wireframe 🤣 Seriously tho, this is honestly impressive! It makes the funtime endos look like, well, actual endos, and not like messes of useless wires! I really do imagine how difficult it must've been to work with what the game has to offer. Speaking of which, I couldn't help but notice some of the wires were moving, almost like they were writhing underneath his shell... Ah, that's because they're like strings in a mechanical puppet, I see! Very clever!

[@tundra189]

I'm once again blown away by how good your stuff looks

[@kylebooface6359]

I absolutely love your realistic Redesigns of The Funtime Endoskeletons. i’ll be honest, I never really liked The Official Models being made completely out of Black and Silver Cables instead of, Y’know, A Mechanical Skeleton. But I also love how Your Design still resembles Funtime Freddy’s (and Also Yenndo if you give him two hands and Yellow Eyes) Endoskeletons Fantastic Work as usual, Absolutely beautiful presentation of the Model and The Music change elevated the experience that much more.

[@ShinyRowletGuy]

Everyone is talking about all the effort is put into the model but the unsug cool thing is the description, it is seriously awesome reading the thought process. I'm always sure to check it

[@TheNickofTime]

Always good to know someone does! KZbin descriptions are notorious for being skipped over all the time, but I still make sure to put some extra information there for those who care to look for it.

[@EnderBoy_11]

You have no idea how happy I am that someone finally made the sister location endos make sense

[@goblinguy530]

So cool. I always love seeing your showcases. They really expand upon the animatronics and bring them to life.

[@LastGoatKnight]

Those slithering wires gives me the creeps eventhough I don't have any phobia. Gives a bit of chill to the already chilling design.😊

[@Hmmm_channel1713]

That's pretty cool, tried to make it myself 'bout 6 months ago, turned out my idea to make it consist of only wires was not great, the rigging and animations were... difficult, to say the least. You i see made a rigid skeleton, and it works better, great work!

[@puromann2370]

It was always my dream as a kid to see how the funtime animatronics mechanically worked please show more of this.

[@I_KnowWhatYouAre]

This actually makes more sense than the original model. Think about it from a mechanical standpoint; a lighter frame with openings for gears to fit more easily, the wires being used for hydraulics or something of the sort. As opposed to a dense bundle of wire with no clear purpose and a solid frame to contain it. All this to say, in short, well done. Love the attention to detail

[@mixcrank]

When freddy opens his mask at 0:27, bon just looks back at him like tf?

[@theauthor5443]

[@Baztrap]

The Nick of Time never dissapoints. Great work 🔥

[@Troutagon]

I think what makes your videos special (to me) is that most of the time, you view the animatronics from a technological standpoint, rather than reaching for the easy horror perspective. It makes me think about Five nights at Freddy's from a completely different point of view. It also gives them a lot of character I didn't know they had

[@strongheartinc.7536]

This is super well done. Keeping to complexity while making it look so mechanically functional is amazing

[@Tuxlion]

also you can see it clearer when freddy is in parts and service

[@TheNickofTime]

I saw that when looking at reference images, but I made the decision to remove it for my model because of its lack of any real purpose. It only would have interfered with the face-plate mechanism I had going, so it just wasn’t important enough to the overall look to be worth preserving in this redesign.

[@GJames-Legend101]

I just thought of something, what if they made a 3d free roam version of sister location, and the animatronics have interactions and dialogue with the characters and Michael afton actually speaks and stuff, the Funtime animatronics have always been so unique to me I think it would be amazing. Ps: this animation is absolutely amazing 🔥❤️👌🤩

[@ActualDavis]

When the trailer for SL released this is sort of what everyone thought it would be.

[@TheNickofTime]

I remember feeling that Sister Location had missed a lot of potential in this regard. It had a lot of ideas that seemed to be teasing that they would be expanded later, that didn’t go anywhere. The banging noises in the vent-crawling sections got my hopes up that you might have to escape from something crawling behind you at some point. The control room is set up to look like it functions like your typical FNaF office, but the impression is only skin-deep, because it only ends up being used for a couple scripted sequences with no true danger to them. Since then, we’ve had Security Breach, which I really appreciate for picking up on a lot of Sister Location’s missed potential. True exploration, non-linear with branching paths, more interactions with the characters. It finally put a lot of those nagging grievances to rest for me.

Thanks! I used an unconventional neck joint because I wanted something that would allow for an unobstructed view up into the inside of the head from the chest cavity, like in the Count the Ways short story.

I really love this, do you plan on doing Fredbear or SpringBonnie so we can see the spring lock mechanism?

[@TheNickofTime]

I’m afraid not, that level of engineering is far, far beyond anything I’m capable of. I’m not necessarily prepared to call the Springlock mechanism impossible, but it would definitely take someone smarter than me to make it work. If I ever have Fredbear or Springtrap in one of my animations, I’ll just have to settle for something that looks vaguely right.

[@officialfallenfx]

[@stephan7645]

I really love this! But I think you missed a couple of details, for example the inner faceplates of FT Freddy, he has those metallic plates below his outer shelf, and under those plates lays his endoskeleton

[@TheNickofTime]

I deliberately decided not to add those, partly because they serve no actual purpose and I was going for a vaguely realistic feel, and partly because the mechanism for them would have interfered with what I was already cramming into the limited space. Adding them would have just been more trouble than it's worth.

[@gillycyndergillywolf6838]

very accurate, it's a whole lot like him in a way, in a way that it's scary yet fascinating. imagine if Bon Bon were his eyes, and if it has the 360 pivot turn to Bon Bon, and if it uses a red led light beam to scan its surroundings. Would it be like if it can tell where someone is in that location since after all it does say in the afton robotics, there's a little detail of 360 pivot and I thought maybe it could be for Bon Bon in a way? also that's really cool! These details are sure to be interesting, I can tell Bon Bon is startled by Funtime Freddy opening his face, he didn't expect that at all didn't he?

[@edgylearner9249]

It's a shame your models aren't for download, but I understand why. They look so good and they actually look like they can be built in real life!

[@boyhowdy682]

One question, are you going to make these realistic models for all or atleast most of the animatronics in fnaf because i'd love to see it. And i'd love to see molten freddy get an overhaul from your old molten freddy video. I'd also love to see a puppet animatronic as i never really knew how the puppet might function. And sorry about all these questions but what is your next fnaf model that you're going to make?

[@Jaws-lt7ud]

I for some reasson, haven't seen anyone pointing out the fact BonBon flinches upon Freddy's faceplates agressivly opens, and looks back as if he's checking what the hell happened, thats such an un-realistic detail, but its a good thing, becuz it gives character to the models, and I really wish more of these would happend in some animation of yours, even tho your animations are supossed to be realistic, a little bit of character never hurts.

NEW THE NICK OF TIME VIDEO? WOOOOO

[@AverageNetizen7908]

At 0:53, why are there two helium tanks in Funtime Freddy? I thought Circus Baby was the only animatronic that can make balloons.

[@TheNickofTime]

Those canisters are meant to represent a place for fluid or air to move the pistons. There are actually more than two of them tucked away back there, there's one for each piston, so seven in total if I'm remembering my own design correctly. They're not particularly accurate to real hydraulics or pneumatics, more so just a placeholder suggestion.

[@TheNickofTime]

The only parts of the skeleton that serve no practical function are the ribbed tubes in the layer shown from 0:55 to 1:18. Those are just put in to give it back a resemblance to the original design that would otherwise have been lost with how much I changed. Every other component in the model was put there for a specific reason, such as helping things move, or providing structure for the outer shell to attach to.

After you finish with the funtimes I would absolutely love to see your "mechanically plausible" takes on either the Glamrock Animatronics or The Mimic, to see how much of their original desings, features and abilities can be kept in a more grounded world. Are you thinking about it or what's your next plan?

[@TheNickofTime]

I have no plans to do one of these overhauls for Security Breach characters, because that game’s designs are much better thought-out than before. The sort of changes I like to make on earlier models are already being incorporated into the Security Breach designs by themselves. It’s a good thing, to be sure, it just means there aren’t as many interesting improvements to make. I’m sure there is still cheating to be found, but when they do cheat, it’s now well-hidden enough that this sort of mechanical redesign wouldn’t make for a very interesting video. It would look largely the same.

[@Sebasssssssssssss]

​@@TheNickofTime Yeah, The glamrock endos feel more grounded than most of the franchise, so I kind of see your point. But i'm still wondering If you will continue redesigning this franchise's characters after you're finished with the funtimes. And I'm also wondering if what you think about the glamrocks being more well-thougt applies to DJ Music Man, I think It's limbs are very skinny to carry It's weight, but I don't know.
