Hey everyone! With Christmas having come and gone excitement for my costume is at an all time high since I got a 3d printer! It's on the way still so no pics of it or anything but its an Creality Ender 3 Pro model printer. I have decided (against good judgement or not idk) that I am going to fully print the chest armor of the costume. I am going to use MoeSizzlac's Noble 6 torse armor and am working on a Grenider attachment to stick on top of it which is what this thread is about!
So my modeling skills are very bad so this isn't a original model in the slightest but it will be heavily modified by the end. To start, we are using the Grenider model from the thread about pull Halo Reach PC armor assets.
Sadly while being the actual model, it is missing a lot of detail that was being carried by textures and also the front canister just seems... flatter. Using my lack of skills, 3D Builder (probably the most limited 3d modeling software) and MeshLab I got the model to this point:
I removed the side things and bolts using MeshLab since I want to print the bolt heads separately with a custom model and the side things just seem a little off. I also replaced the canister thing in the middle using 3D Builder and its limited capabilities (I had to use cones to make the bevels). Its kinda jankily put together as I used cubes (Green) to get the top armor to meet the new canister. Because the new canister is more of a perfect circle than the OG one, some gaps exist between the top armor and canister.
The other thing which I have been having issues with is this detail on the canister:
It's an indent in the canister but the issue is that that sides aren't straight, they slope inward a bit as it goes up. The thing under it I haven't made yet since it also seems to just have been a texture on the armor or is just not part of it like the little black strip on the right.
Also just cause here is a pic of the chest on top of the Noble 6 chest. It looks so nice!! I plan to subtract the chest from the inside of this so it just kinda slides over and the N6 chest can print with no mods to it and be used without this on it.
