I just wanted to let everyone know that Richard Duda finished a new Star Wars model: the First Order Stormtrooper armor from The Force Awakens. I like how Richard's digital version follows J.J. Abrams' idea that female armor should cover the entire body. Okay, sure, an exposed navel and cleavage might be sexy and good for a pinup image, but it's just not realistic.

These images were made in Poser Pro 2012 using Indirect Lighting (IDL).

If I recall, there was also discussion about making breasts in the breast plate, and how it would not protect the wearer.

These look very nice.

That's nice work.

This has been a subject for people making traditional armour (plate or whatnot) forever. Basically, molding breasts (with cleavage) into a breastplate is stupid for anything that should actually be used in combat because any strikes aimed toward the center of aren't deflected away but toward the center of the chest (ie, right at the sternum and heart). The general agreement is that if some kind of modification is actually needed for a woman, the best option is the "monobreast" design (no individual breast shape).
