[Tutorial] How to make/view/export your own Halo Spartans in Blender

Does anyone know if they have already added the Mjolnir Mk. IV or the new objects?
I believe Spartan Pack 5.0 has all the Mark IV pieces up to CU29. There is also a Mark IV only blender project you can download for less space. I know I saw an MK VII CU32 pack just added as well.
 
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)
1: Build the armor combo you like

4: Make sure you check the "Selection Only" checkbox before selecting Export

5: Now you have extracted only the model you had selected (can work on multiple at a time for action figures)

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!

Big thanks to Surasia who put this pack together and Average Goblin Enthusiast who created the shader.

These packs listed below work very similarly to the Infinite pack shown in the video and should also help with Cosplay references!

Is Blender something you have to pay for? And how much is it? Could I make all this stuff on a free account if they have any?
 
Hey, my mind is blown by this blender file. I am new to Blender and have no experience whatsoever. I want to use it to make a 3D printed cosplay but I am not sure if this is possible with this file. It seems the mesh is rough and when I scale it up and import it to my slicer it is not smooth and rounded but has sharp edges. I have not printed anything so far but wanted to ask if anyone has used it for the same case or if there is any possibility to export a more detailed mesh.

Thanks for the help.

Game files are not meant for 3d printing. You will need to clean them up manually yourself or buy 3d-printable files.

Best of luck!

Thank you, I did not realize that this is meant as a game file. I already found an awesome printable file to scale for my body. The blender file is still really awesome for reference.
 
Commenting to remind myself to come back here when I get the chance. I just started messing around with blender, so I’m looking forward to messing around with some of these files
