Helmet

This concept by Andrew Ley is great! I've seen a couple attempts at it in 3D around the web, but nothing for games. I decided that would be a fun challenge that would push me out of my comfort zone.







I'm curious what you guys think so far. I'm open to feedback on all of it. There are a few errors I want to smooth out, and there are plenty of places that the wires can be optimized, but overall I'm happy with the direction it's going in right now. Continuing with the diffuse now.

Hope you like it!

You've got a couple of places where poly distribution isn't handled well. Most noticably his mohawk is still pretty darn jaggy, and the outermost tubes can use a couple extra segments as well. Contrasting with that are some rather narrow chamfers (like the one near his 'gasoline valve') and some general excess tris around his chin/nose.

For now I'd say just fix the mohawk and tubes, because it's really easy to add some extra cuts there.

On the highpoly, I'm seeing several spots where you've taken a shortcut with he shapes, resulting in a less attractive model. For example the switch all the way at the bottom, lacking the threads/ridges on the outermost pipe connectors, and a whole load of missing indents/holes all over the model.

Hey Snader, thanks so much for the feedback! The small details (shortcuts as you pointed out) I intend to handle in the diffuse. Right now, all I've handled in the diffuse is blocking in major colors.

As for the poly distribution, I think you're totally right in those areas. I will revisit them before I move on to adding more detail.

Thanks!

Quick update -- Made the changes as suggested. That seems to have helped smooth some things out. Started on the diffuse. Let me know what you think!

Making progress. Re-approaching the low-poly was a great idea, it helped me to tackle a few of the problems I was running into.

This is looking great! Very true to the concept and one of the coolest sci fi helmets I have seen in a long while

Archanex

Very cool design and execution

Thank you guys so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you like it.

Oh shit! That's badass!

Great work. Love that concept, and you nailed it pretty well.
