The following video will help users inexperienced/experienced with Blender quickly build their dream Halo Infinite armor set (as well as other armor sets from the other games at the bottom of this post). This can be helpful for brainstorming cool cosplay ideas, experimenting with paint jobs and attachment placement, zooming up close anywhere you want for cosplay references, and exporting the pieces you want straight to STL (or any other format you want).
The video above has timestamps to help guide you to the spot you are wanting to find and is aimed at people who have never used Blender before so that it is as accessible to everyone as possible. The pack shown in the video will be updated over time with added improvements like posing and future armor sets.
Helpful sections for cosplay:
00:00 Introduction on how to use the file and Blender and start building your Spartan (for cosplay planning)
05:23 Coloring your spartan armor pieces (To see how certain colors look on certain parts before painting them irl)
[TUTORIAL] How to export individual armor pieces as STL (or other formats)

Just repeat these steps until you have all the 3d models of your armor set that you need to begin getting them prepped for 3D printing!
Also, if you are wanting to know how to pose the Spartans in the Halo Infinite pack I made a quick rundown video on that here:
An additional video showing you how to easily create custom camo patterns with whatever colors you want is now here! (Includes link to over 1,200+ camo patterns to try on your Spartan)
I really hope this tutorial is helpful for you cosplayers out there. The 405th is amazing and I love you all!
