Appleseed Costume

[ZacicVolkshed]

it seems like this would be best done out of flexible rubber for most of the parts, using the pbo's as a base for a mold, it looks great so far though

looks like a pretty badass project, hope to see it come to life!

I don't think it will be hard to move with that armor because armor pieces are just wearing on forearms , head , legs and torso . The torso could be made in a foam but the rest will be easy to wear , the more difficult thing to do will be the Undersuit , because i'll need to make a lot of sewing . I think the hardly think of the armor will be the design on the 3d Software .

I agree, Most of the parts should be foam padding and the core armored parts are the shoulders, forearms, hands, helm, and the chest. If you take a foam muscle suit and instead of using skin toned fabrics one could use vinyl or latex to cover the foam.

Just throwing in few things for reference with a few ideas on how to do it.

and w/ so much costume discussion,.. here are some shots of things I had made for a Briareos I hadnt finished

I had scratch built all that,.. well w/ the exception of the muscle suit,.. hope it helps for something

 

[Versinke]

It's pretty awesome , the muscle suit is very usefull ,as i'm skinny like a squeleton XD You're scratchbuild is pretty cool too , but legs are strage according to me

 

[amancue]

well if you saw them @ another angle you'd see they are just like his

 

[Versinke]

Maybe ^^ By the way i'm waiting for you're work to make it because i can't even do my own du to a comuter problem ( F****** computer :angry )

 

[Versinke]

I've fix my computer problems , and finally i can use blender correctly but i don't know how to modelize something , i got an image but i'm a really noob with it ^^ Can someone help me please ? je need a little thing Need you to explain step by step please



Here is the image

Need the Forearms , that the easiest thing i've found to learn modelize

 

[amancue]

actually the legs are a bit more simple then the arms...,.. the gauntlets have more curves and bits,.. the legs are basically a couple angled pieces of armor and a kneepad w/ some indentations

and as for Blender cant help you there as I dont use it

 

[Versinke]

What software do you use ? I'll be curious to see the resulte from Blender compared to an other software , maybe the resulte on Pepakura will change ?

 

[Kodorei]

You could make the forearms out of cardboard or scratch build from paper. They are not that detailed.

 

[Heatshock]

I would agree on the scratch building the guants and, knee and leg armour. Even the shoulders I have considered, but not done. The helmet is the killer, esp.ly with those big ears on top!

Blender is capable of the same results pretty much as any other 3d program,.. but it of course always depends on the modeler, I use Cinema4D as my main

modeling package

 

[Versinke]

Whaow , so you must be a great modeler 'coz it's not easy to use

 

[phixix]

A friend of mine has done a Briareos cosplay without using Pepakura ^^

With the use of the Pepakura for Briareos, it could work really well if done properly but that is a LOT of seamless rounded surfaces and I can't even imagine the time spent pepping this alone.

Honestly I think its more of a scratch-build costume =(

 

[Versinke]

I wish to make Zabuza's forearms to train myself on modeling , does someone can help me ?

 

[amancue]

Whaow , so you must be a great modeler 'coz it's not easy to use

hmmm? I find C4D soo much easier then blender (personally) but its all about what your more comfortable w/

 

[amancue]

well the pictures I showed was V1 of my costume I scratch built most of it,.. but the helmet I comissioned was never finished so I scrapped it,.. I have a 2.0 in the works and it'll knock peoples socks off just you wait and see

 

[Versinke]

I'll be waiting for the Briareos advancement , someone ( i don't remenber who ^^ ) made the left arm but no files attached to this , need the second forearm , legs and helmet
