Unfolded by nerdtron99
http://www.4shared.com/file/PGes8GFnce/Ted_Mk_VII_Tracker_unfold.html

I just handed this in to my animation teacher so i'll be sending this to some kind people to be made ready for the forum

Here it is:

I understand that someone from here is working on the tracker too, but i've been planning to show progress ever since I started to model (for my animation class) so here's a teaser: (I'll hopefully finish it by January)

Hahahaha yeah! I appreciate the enthusiasm, helps me to not give up on this lol. It's seriously so frustrating... Wish I knew more about blender cause this would be finished quicker. How are your models going scotsmin? Good job on the soldier btw! I've been waiting for someone to model that for so long jeez.

Ted · Jan 30, 2014

Just a small update... Hopefully I finish this soon, I know it isn't much but i'm going all out on this tonight

nerdtron99 · Jan 30, 2014

looking very good!

I can forsee a few mesh issues, but aside from that, very good! I know of a few people who will be over the moon.

This helmet just screams electroluminescence and some sort of camera lens/view finder combo to me. I saw a video camera at the thrift store yesterday that had the latter parts necessary... especially the 1" color screen. Maybe something for my next project

Make it so! at this point I'm convinced you can do anything lol
my project is sadly on hold temporarily due to school/ work time constraints but yours is really keeping me hooked

really nice foam work too!!

as for this build, I'm really excited to see how this comes out!

BiGHARYSCOTSMiN · Jan 30, 2014

Well Ted, it looks great. As usual, I'm not the expert on double faces and such so I can't help you there, but what I can do is say:

No pressure!

A lot of people are excited for this, and I speak for most of us when I say we can help, just give us a holler.

Sorta a late reply, but yes, my Soldier Chest is done... without the mag pouches. It's on my portfolio, link in sig.

Thanks

This is actually my 4th 3D model. So far I've only done an Army of Two mask, Inglorious Basterds bowie knife, and Garrus' face from Mass Effect. I've been procrastinating A LOT. This is my project for animation... Its due tomorrow lol.

It'd be awesome if someone actually built this! I love your build btw! Been lurking on it ever since it started

I appreciate the interest

Same thing with me in terms of time management and school, it sucks

The pressure is kinda on me atm, in terms of handing it in tomorrow (WITH TEXTURE) for my animation project. Both of which is my first time attempting. Maybe its just me being a noob at Blender and 3D modelling itself but this is SO frustrating lol. As far as I can tell a lot of the vertices aren't properly symmetrical, and there are probably other stuff that need fixing and I have no idea how to- so thanks for the offer. I'll be sure to pm the file to anyone willing to make it pep-ready right after I hand it in for school

I'm not really worried about it being perfect as my project but I am bothered by the fact that if it does happen to be pepped by someone that it won't be accurate. I plan to build it too and i'm a perfectionist so maybe that's why hahaha.

Anyway, thanks everyone! Here's a small update:

looking great. I love and hate the halo 4 armors. they are so nice and detailed but a pain to model, even bigger pain to pep. keep up the great work. do you have plans for any other helmet or armors.

nerdtron99 · Jan 31, 2014

if you can send me the file once you finish this i'd gladly unfold it for pep!

Chernobyl · Jan 31, 2014

Still looking good. I'd like to review the file once you're done, just to check the geometry over and such, but overall, it looks very good!

Ted · Jan 31, 2014

I finished it guys! Latest photo on the first page!

I definitely agree. Now I understand why they don't get much attention from modellers lol THEY ARE A PAIN. Even more when its from scratch lol.

Thanks, i'll let you know!!! You've been the first to be so interested on this so its the least I can do

I'll PM you the link for download tomorrow, thank you so much haha there's so many mistakes.

Chernobyl · Feb 2, 2014

Right, the file's been tweaked slightly to allow for a head to fit in it, as well as some glaring geometry issues that I needed to deal with to get it Pep-ready (mainly open edges and inverted faces).

Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to unveil to you the MJOLNIR G2 Tracker helmet:

I'll have the file sent to Ted for final review before handing it out - I may yet unfold the file and tweak a few more things before the final release.

Charlie13 · Feb 2, 2014

Since I saw that you're gonna do a trackerhelmet, I couldn't wait for it to be released. This will definately be build! Also wanna point out that you sir, did an excellent job on modelling this badboy. I'm really looking forward to see some more models made by you

Oh, and THANK YOU! for the time and afford you put into this!

Holy *yoink*.

I won't do any quality control unless somebody asked, but it looks really really good on it's own.

Nice job to Ted, Arcanine, and any unfolders unwrapping it later! I can't quite emphasize how good it looks~

Already did that. There's a few issues with the helmet that I'll need to fix to bring it up to game accuracy, which I may need help with, but it's a solid, buildable file. Spent a few hours in Blender making sure of that and cleaning up geometry errors

Ted · Feb 2, 2014

This makes me really happy.. hahaha

Thanks everyone for the help and the support. I'm happy to have finally contributed something to the forum. It was my pleasure.
