File it under Crimmson

[Crimmson]

Not to be a killjoy, but most of the mass effect armors have been consolidated into one thread for better finding on the RPF http://www.therpf.com/f24/mass-effect-pepakura-file-archive-check-regular-updates-186674/

yeah that kind of did burst my bubble.... no I am just kidding, I will still mess with them when I get bored or stuck with other stuff.

Hey crimmson don't mean to threadjack but I got another Marine file unfolded. Here it is the second chest variation.



Paper Unfold: http://www.4shared.com/file/GeSEGi6gba/UNSC_Marine_Chest_2.html



Foam Unfold: http://www.4shared.com/file/XVMtmB3Xba/UNSC_Marine_Chest_2__foam_.html

As always your doing great work man, keep it up.

no worries, I don't consider ,really, anything thread jacking. especially not for release of unfolds. any problems with the models to look out for?


update

I am still working on the wet works armor.

I got bored last night at work as it was uneventful, my field boss fell asleep in my work truck... yeah! of course I took pictures, get out of jail card suckas, so I started remodeling the recruit files as I, let me repeat that, as I would like to see them. hopefully you guys and gals will to( I wanted to add a picture of the hypnotoad from futurama but I didn't or did i and you are under my control), like the changes I make. I will keep the original design as much as possible as always( I wont remodel all of it(yet)), the boots, shins, forearms and helmet, in this order, will be split into two sections. except the boots. for ease of wearing for me, maybe, I have really big calves(from running, playing hockey, weight training, working in the frac industry), forearms and biceps (21's). I have peped many files and none fit my body shape. either to big or to small I usually end up cutting the pep and adding spacer, well I am tired of that as I am sure some of the bigger guys here will attest to. hopefully this works out good. one major con in this is scaling two pieces in pepakura it is fun, but if I get it right...


recruit boot

now you guys are probably thinking what the... but hear me out. this as a foam build would be great in my opinion as I haven't built it yet. and peped traditionally and molded in rubber( idea only as I have never done molding, much less with rubber)

get your 117's




and you guys probably thought they were going to be simple. nope. I really don't like the idea of placing a boot inside of a... boot model. hmmmm yeah that works
as you see the model has been heavily modified, but still has the look of the original file. internet high five... don't leave me hanging.

looks nice don't it

and finally. the destiny titian. i really struggle with helmets so play with it at your own risk. but i hope that it is good enough or a good starting point for someone else. i changed a lot on this model since the last time i posted a full spread or update on this helmet. i haven't found any new good (imo) reference pictures especially the back to keep trying

I still need the rest of scout to be finished in foam templates

 

[foxleader]

hey crimson you know who you start looking for something and the only thing is you just never can quite find it. I just did and man was I blown away by it.

this guy is just great.

found my marine helmets at last which oddly look like ODST helms with the jaw section cut out.

I am sorry that I cant help you with the scout foam unfolds I just don't know how to do it to make a foam unfold

I think they have been released here, but as always I haven't gotten any feed back on them... derp, fail

 

[foxleader]

well crimson that's just the thing I've been looking for, because I first few just didn't cut it. a few where too big other's too small and then some just didn't get that far.

 

[Daschlenn]

Hey Crimmson, I was wondering with the Mass Effect ones, do you have any of the other Alien Armours? Me and a friend were looking forward to making something Mass Effect, and thought the more alien stuff looked awesome!

Why not have a go yourself?

 

[Crimmson]

it should be in my thread some where. it is one of the halo4 marine file I mesh welded and uploaded. I don't think it has been unfolded yet.

I don't have those models with me or the programs to get them into blender. I believe Seth posted a link to the thread at the RPF containing these a bunch of ready to pep files(I think, I haven't down loaded any). I wont be home for a while, I am away at the field right now, working nights. it might be a bit even when I get home, the pack I uploaded here isn't even the tip of the ice burg of the amount of .mdl I have.


UPDATE


shin armor split with alignment pins. I did the thigh plate but it didn't look right to me. so I canned it in the brown file.

update on the wetworks armor

I straightened out a lot of faces making them flat, giving the back piece better flow before continuing onto the sides


there is some intersecting faces, that is on purpose for picture only




. what do you guys think? you guys and gals are thinking which undersuit is that? it is one I detailed and modified extremely heavy

 

[Chernobyl]

Very nice.

Out of curiosity, where did you come across that Mk VI G2 helmet file? I've been making one myself, and some reference would be very helpful.

 

[Crimmson]

I made it Arcanine, it is not 100%. I took some liberties on the model especially the back, top, bottom. I used the same picture that was posted here and youtube.
It has been a labor of love as I have been working on this for months.
here are some pics





I am having trouble with the visor. I can get it to look how I want it from the side but not the front. I don't want to make hard edges on the visor








I made the bottom opening big

 

[Chernobyl]

Ah, I see. I'm modifying the HD Mk VI file myself, that one seems a lot better to work on, but I can't get the AI port right.

 

[Crimmson]

that port I usually wing it a lot... derp. I wouldn't call it a mk6 gen 2.

do you want me to send it your way so you can look at it.

 

[Chernobyl]

That would be great, I'd appreciate it. If I can get the file I'm working on done, I'd be happy to let you publish it.

 

[Crimmson]

sending you a pm. I used a lot of reference from other helmets for the back area and winging it of course. my reference isn't all that great, but how many mk6 helmets, etc, files has anyone here looked at. you can see the lines in your head when you close your eyes. ok so how many people actually tried that, I did.

 

[Crimmson]

I was thinking while sleeping about what you said Arcanine. I have a halo 3 mp Mc file that looks a lot like the mk6 gen 2 armor that I can modify.
Out of curiosity what do you think of the file I sent you?

 

[Chernobyl]

The file's fine, to be honest. I'm just a stickler for smooth, accurate lines, and the HD Mk VI helmet has all of that.

Essentially, all I'd need to do is:

- Remove the top ridges
- Add the rear AI port
- Remove some of the brim detail

Aside from that, the H4 Mk VI helmet is remarkably similar to the H3 Mk VI helmet. I just want to ensure that people have a HD option.

 

[foxleader]

well acranine you have to remember this is mark-VI that was moded by an AI.

 

[Chernobyl]

well Arcanine you have to remember this is mark-VI that was moded by an AI.

Ummmmh... nah, I'm referring to the actual Mk VI helmet. The multiplayer Mk VI. So, thanks, but nah, thanks.

 

[Crimmson]

Hey Arcanine have you ever seen textures like this when extracting, I don't remember seeing them like this. can you upload a pic like this one in the extraction program, it the storm mc solo in the m30 cryptum map. I used tag class view instead of folder. I kind of messed with it a little with plugins, not the ones it came with. everything loads faster, also has any one gotten the phatom with textures, buildings, the full forerunner pawn.



or this



if they are the same then I got myself all worked up.


edit:
I think I just answered my own question, because everytime I have looked at this model of the sky it never showed me the textures only the faces of the model and now it is very clear, the pic.




ok now I have never ever seen this in there unless I never really looked through it, but the actual pic, tiff, texture never showed up

Carpathia can you use these


At least we now know which cryo pod he was in: pod 9939








except this one this all of them together

 

[Chernobyl]

Hey Arcanine have you ever seen textures like this when extracting

Yep. Adjutant's model viewer supports textures, assuming the program can load the textures and model properly.
