Spartan Iii Spi Armor Thread

*Hush-Hush* project!

Lol. I want to know, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to wait till its done.

Wow, those are some nice Reference Pictures!

The only problem is that some of the pieces look connected, like the gauntlet and leg pieces. The only way that I could connect them is by using the underarmor trick to make the joints more flexible. Besides that I think that this would be pretty easy to make out of cardboard. (a lot of smooth places.)

Well, I think those first 2 pics were fanarts.

My only issue is one that i suspect most of you agree with me on.

we don't really know what it looks like. if you can find a more detailed published pic you can work with, go for it!
but to me, building a suit off of one published several "concept" and a few fanfic, not a good idea. simply because in my opinion, would you really be able to call it SPI armor? the published pics don't seem to have enough to go off of to me. the concept doesn't have the details the cover shot has, and the cover shot doesn't show it all. and fanfic is simply the imagined image of a fan. not true SPI armor, the pics don't match up with each other.

 

[Gman]

I say if anyone wants to go for making the first attempt at SPI armor go for it. I think it would be interesting to see what it would turn out looking like. For some reason I really like the forearm and hand pieces and might attempt at making them. I would have to agree with Anubis117 a little though because the armor would not be exact. Other than that I say why not?

I suppose you are right, but there has only been one 'official' photo that has been released. I read some where that Eric Nylund didnt want to release the other pictures/art of the SPI armor,dont know why.

Here are some other pictures that ive found, Unfortunately all fan art. . .

must say the drawing is pretty crappy interpretation (sorry if this offended anyone)

 

[hlomaster55]

Nahhh, it's OK, the more the marrier! I'm going to need as much "fan art" as possible. Maybe blend all of those ideas together, and come out with a semi-decent suit.

 

[Shade88]

I would love to see this suit in real life, that way while the spartan II are giving suppressive fire the spartan IIIs can sneak around the enemy and kill the enemy sentinels.

Ok... I'll Tell.

Fun little teaser of what ive been up to:

 

[Shade88]

Nice 3D setup.

 

[Spartan 051]

yeah blender is a slick program easy to learn if you have some background knowledge in 3d modeling but the model got a long way for me to be happy with it

 

[Shade88]

You deserve to be happy with it.

Fun little teaser of what ive been up to:

Thats freaking AWESOME!
Will you make a whole suit?
Maybe you can use the art of halo 3 SPI image for the body

 

[Spartan 051]

Im a perfectionist so never happy with anything i always see the little things but yeah im happy with the over all picture and its the second model done with blender

Thats freaking AWESOME!

Ican't wait for some Spartan IIs and Spartan III fighting side by side. While ODSTs and marines are sniping a few hundred feet away.

 

[Doom]

I modeled the SPI helmet a few years back, I might have a few renders of it, But I doubt I have the actual files anymore. It was a bitch to do, I had quite a few issues with it.

Best of luck with yours.
