Etruscan Helmet

Fishspawn · Nov 2009

I'm working on a high poly helmet for making a normal map. Here is a the ref:

And here is my model so far:

I was planning on doing all of the engravings in Photoshop. I would love some feedback!

Good so far. Very clean modeling. Show wires of your work in progress.

this looks good, if your wanted you could probably do some of the details with extruded splines if you were going to normal map it right?

Wow, the shape of it is so appealing. Would love to see this finished. Keep it up!

Thanks for all of the feedback! Here is my progress this week.

i know its meant to be a low poly - but you loose alot when you loose the smooth shape of the nose guard and sides - now its all blocky....soo maybe add a bit moar tris?

i like it

bugo · Nov 2009

I would like to see some rust on it!

Dippndots · Nov 2009

looks pretty good, I do agree with achmed though, moar tris would be sweet. Spec map is awesome, never seen anyone just use a whole texture behind the unwrap for it lol

Looks like the low poly could be cleaned up a bit. Take some of those polies out of the side pieces and use them in the front

i'd opt for removing the ridges on the lowpoly around the face and on the design and let the normal do that, it would make it smoother. either that or increase the polys

id make the diffuse color a darker less saturated brown color and make the spec gold.

Thanks all! I decided to go with upping the polys a little and i re-baked normals and AO as well as fixing some unwrapping issues. Also messed around with the color and spec maps a lot, and added some more normal details that weren't on the high poly. Hope it's improved, and I would love more feedback as always
