Hi everyone --

I was wondering if you can all suggest the best shape to use and way to make a helmet.  I'm working on something for myself right now and will share with the community called "Future Cop" which is basically a Judge Dredd style outfit. 

Can someone tell me what's the best way to do a helmet like that?  I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks! =)

Load a sphere and start cutting out pieces. :biggrin:

Doesn't take a lot of effort. This was a sphere in Wings and 5 minutes of work...

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.

Thanks all --- thanks Rocket --- works out great.  Used the sphere, and you're right, very little effort. 😄

Glad I could help. Now back to my tunnel so I can finish it and get this to Esther...

If the modeler can do sub-d modeling it may be better to start with a cube and bump the sub-d level to 2.

A cube subdivided (click on smooth 2x's) in Wings3D.

I've been working on the Mass Effect 2 N7 helmet.  Using splines in Lightwave to get the basic wireframe shape, then add the polygons.

There is a zbrush tutorial on hard surface modelling. watch it and use what you learn in it for modelling a helmet.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Thanks all....will look for that tutorial Gareee ---- didn't realize there was one out there. 😄

Not advanced for splines yet, but will save that for the future.....
