Hello Polycount,

This thread is a way for me to record and share the progression of stuff I'm working on at home. I may also post sketches or unfinished works.
Crits welcome.

My current project is the Imperial Army Pilot (AT-AT Driver) from the Empire Strikes Back.
The helmet is the real challenge. Here I've roughed out a mushy zbrush pass of it. I will be retopoing in Max to create the high poly that I'll use for baking.

Progress update:
Armor plates, gloves, and straps are done.

Boots and jump suit are in-progress. Cloth sculpting is an area I need to improve on.

Things left to do on the high poly:
-retopo helmet, add helmet widgets
-add straps that connect the front and back armor plates
-add tubes that go from chest box to back of helmet
-misc. buttons and switches that go on the chest box and back plate.

Here's what the costume looks like from Episode V.
I'm scaling down the helmet a bit.
