Hello 3D Modellers!
I'm a film student doing a short film about masks.
There are many masks and we see them every day. In theatre, like phantom masks, in superhero movies, like spiderman, batman, in hospitals and so on.
My modelling skills are terrible to non-existant and I did not find many free 3D objects to download and it's a no-budget project, but maybe YOU can help.
Make a mask, (or more :)) of any kind! The more, the merrier! It doesn't need to be perfect, even a simple, basic mask is a big help!

This film will be on a 360° Projection which you can only see in planateriums and it will show a scene with hundreds of masks in 3D space.
I can't offer any money, but of course your name in the credits if you want to!

I use the latest Cinema 4D Version, but I guess obj. work too!

Thank you already! :)

Give a man a fish......

If you could show us what you have attempted we may be able to help. The image above illustrates how a mask may be made using box modeling and subdivision, pretty much the simplest form of 3D modeling available. Yes it will take a few minutes to learn but like riding a bicycle once learned will enable you to ride anywhere you choose.

Another method would be to take an existing head in Poser, select the face using the grouping tool and spawn a prop. You can also perform a similar operation in most 3D modeling applications.

Good call Phil

Hi! Thank you!

But I need hundreds of masks and I would like to use as many as possible, without repeating them too much.

I have made about 15 now, but not really good ones and also I think the more different they are, the better.

Please send me an email to forester@mountainflight.us, and I will send you copies of these three masks. Please tell me which file format is needed for the masks. These can be in *.obj file format, if that is best for you.

The third mask for you.

They do not need to be so complicated. (but if you like that of course it's amazing!)

I sent you a mail too!

 

Thank you so much! :)

You're welcome! I sent you a download link for the models. They are put into *.obj file format, and you may duplicate and alter them as you wish to make as many masks as you wish.
