[Alt Helmet] - Volt - Talos

KieranMcKay

Hello everyone,

This is the start of my helmet design.
I have a lot of areas to polish/clean up and also some shapes to define but I like the shape so far.

More progress to follow

novabjorn

This looks nice, really like the tiefling/demon horns. Next time you update can you lighten up the material so we can see the model better?

KieranMcKay

Ok sure, it is a bit dark actually

Noioiy

Since it looks very demonic, have you considered adding little vents? You know how Targis Prime has those little vent thingy? Something like those but on a much smaller scale.

I hope I'm not suggesting you to make things more complex than they already are.

KieranMcKay

Think I'm almost near the finished version now.
I want to have enough time to get everything baked nicely and get some sweet textures xD
@Noioiy I tried to tone down the demonic look in this update, but still keep the horns because they are a defining feature. Think it was the arrangement of the emissive orbs in the last one

KieranMcKay

Working on the low poly mesh.

This is a test-bake with a quick set of auto Uv's. I'm really surprised it came out so well for a nasty test.
I wanted to see how the Normal map worked on the 3K triangle mesh. Should be nice when I spend some time on it xD

*Also some parts missing, there is holes..

KieranMcKay

Finished Retopology. Ended up with 3,000 Triangles exactly xD also changed the back of the helmet and made it more sleek. Normals and AO maps baked and Emissive map created. 

I will post up wireframes another time, so now to move onto texturing and tint masks. 
Having loads of fun on this!

Marshall_Vex

Dude. That's awesome. I really want it... And may I ask what programm you used for auto UVs?

KieranMcKay

Thanks a lot man! 
There is quite a few ways to make auto UV's in 3dsmax. I usually just go for flatten mapping for tests because it's super quick and no fuss.

For final UV's I usually start with Roadkill and touch up/finish in 3dsmax.

KieranMcKay

Finished my entry!
I will submit to the workshop soon

This helmet, my good sir, is quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever seen and I really hope it makes it into the game. The details on the helmet look so great and horns are awesome. Great work!

Blob_monster

10/10, would wear.
very well done!

Clyptic

Really nice design and execution!

KieranMcKay

Del

Nice job finishing! Looks great!

View in different colour

when can I buy it?

kary

Well executed piece  

Screamheart

Hi. The Warframe TennoGen preview tool is not allowing me to select more than 1 color. I am using the example files they gave us, so it should work. Any ideas? Also, I would love to know how you went about making your maps. I am pretty nooby, but I'd like to get a submission in. xD

Takai

I like this helmet, he looks very swift and dangerous with those shapes

KieranMcKay

Thanks again guys!

..also made some more colour variants, which I think look quite cool.

Clyptic

KIERANMCKAY Really nice renders, what program did you use for rendering?

KieranMcKay

Hey thanks Clyptic. They are rendered in Marmoset 2

Clyptic

Would you mind telling me how you were able to get the tint mask working in marmoset? I can't figure it out for anything >.< 

thebackagain

Also how are you getting the emissive map to show correctly in marmoset 2. I have been having issues with it.

KieranMcKay

@ClypticMarmoset doesn't support the tint masks (not that i am aware of anyway), so i just baked the flat colours I wanted into my Albedo map. 
@thebackagain maybe make sure that the intensity is set to 1 and you have the correct map? i have never really had problems with the emissive.. sorry
