Congrats on the promotion! Good job, many accolades.
I could never really do the pepakura paper, folding all those flaps, creasing, fingers hurt thinking about it, but you make it damn sexy, lookin' good Dirtdives!
You are the welcome sireYour fingers hurt just from thinking about it.......How do you think I feel? I'm the one doing it......arthritis and all........joking about the arthritis......but it does take a long time for me to finish 1 piece. Thanks for the compliment.
Nestled right between the "Where's Dirdives" photoshops and "Outlet Man" images.This is going up on the wall of memes for sure
I'll have my new 3D printer!!!!! And then start printing out my sniper rifle. That would take a world of pressure off of me because I am really dreading the building of the Argus helmet......and I'm thinking of doing it in 3D....... The test piece will be the prop first.
I did just finish printing it. It isn't an Argus, it's a CQC modeled for me by the wonderful MoeSizzlacI have to see what deals I can find.....especially today........I really want to get a 3D printer......Wait, James, you said you just finished printing your helmet.....did you print an Argus helmet?
That looks like a nightmare to post process if it was printed like that :OJust cause it's fun...

Of course that isn't really printable at the moment. All I could find was a pdo which was really low res, and this which is the game asset and isn't hollow for a head.
But still...
That's 15 inches from left to right, 14 from front to back and 15 top to bottom. So it's rather large haha
I just threw it in there for fun, I have no plans for this helmet for myself. It's okay though! I have a process that works pretty well!That looks like a nightmare to post process if it was printed like that :O
Save your sanity, split that model up!
Oh for sure.MoeSizzlac has this in the 3D thread and said that it wasn't ready for printing and needed a ton of TLC to get it print ready......TLC I have no knowledge of how to do.....yet. But remember James, the size indicated includes the mounted cameras....those add a lot of inches to the helmet so I might not bee that large.....in fact, it might be tight for an average size head or just fitting.......only measuring from the side of the helmet body and not the cameras will determine the correct scale to build at.....at least that is what I told myself when I printed out my templates......

And that is another reason why I’m going the pep route.Oh yeah. A lot of intersecting faces, non-manifold edges, a lot of asymmetry. It would probably take me twice the time to get nice and right as opposed to a normal helmet.
