    New MJOLNIR Mk VI Female Torso {Mk VI For the Ladies, REMODELED!!}

    #1
    Alright 405th, I've decided to create a new thread for this armor project. As many of us already know, plenty of female armorers have had to work with male torsos (as well as a few female ones out there,) when it comes to creating Mk VI armor. Personally, I've only seen two out there. Mrs. Chief and a Mk VI torso, Original Modeler UNKNOWN.

    So, to help get my point across, here's the Original Mk VI Female Torso I'm talking about:

    -Original Torso:

    -Another View of the Original:


    To be frank, a few details were missing from the original model, and I decided to take it and fix some new detail into it. The posterior piece was edited to appear more like the Mk VI male torso, and a new collar was fitted into the model as well.

    -My Mk VI Female Torso:

    -Another View:

    -Front and Collar:


    Here's a comparison between the Original, the Male Torso, and my remodeled torso:
    -Three Torsos:

    -Collar Shots:

    -Comparisons:








    Like I said before, other that the collar and the front of the armor, just a few minor edits were made to the Original.

    To clarify and answer one question before it surfaces,
    *I do NOT take credit for the Original Model, and most definitely DO NOT condone the taking of credit of ANYONE'S work. Come on people, we all know it's just not worth the risk.

    The model is in Pepakura 3 format, free for download at 4shared. In fact, here's the link right now:
    -Link: Replaced. Link at bottom of thread.

    And for the record, I'm remodeling many different chest pieces for this torso, so here are a few:
    -Hayabusa
    -EVA from Halo 3
    -CQB from Halo 3
    -UA/ Base Security
    -Collar/ Breacher
    -HP/ HALO
    -HP/ Parafoil

    Here's a taste of what's to come, 'Busa-Style!:
    -MJOLNIR Mk VI Female with Hayabusa Chest Piece:


    So, feel free to comment and criticize, 405th. I'd be happily obliged to answer your calls. Oash-Koash out.

    WoooOOAooHHH!!! That's looking pretty awesome... I'm still not even near being close to finishing my Kat build but holy kamole is that cool I previously dismissed ever making a "modified" female torso and planned to just go with the traditional Mk VI suit, but this is quickly changing my mind. EXCELLENT job!!!!!

        Thanks, but like I mentioned before, I take no credit for the Original model. Glad you like, Angel.

        EDIT:
        @Fackmo: You may be able to see that, but It's as good as I can get the model.

        Unfolders needed, and I can't tey because my PC is too slow, and the program can crash. Week, I know, but you got to work with what you've got.

        Have at it people! Oash-Koash Out.

          Alright... I confess. I have a problem...

          I open up the armor in Pepakura 3, and it shows up in full grey. Now, from what I remember, grey means the back of a face. However, when I flip the faces, it's still grey! Whatthecrap?! Sorry, just had to vent my emotion for a moment...

          Continuing along...

          I eported the Original file from Pepakura 3 into 3ds Max as an OBJ, and then transferred that to Sketchup for editing. Here's the problem: Double Faces.

          I could use some help in re-editing this back to single faces, if possible.

          When I try to unfold the model, it's a massive 1.99 Mb to the original 427 kb that I remember. That, and all of the pieces don't join together because they are connected to their own gosh-darned faces!!!

          Ah... I guess what I'm trying to say is that I need help cracking this case...

          Thanks, 405th.

                Actually, I only created the Green Model. Credit goes to the original modelers for the other two models.

                UPDATE:

                Ok, so I've figured out how to fix the faces problem, turns out that it's better to leave all faces on the default scheme on Sketchup. LOL. Ah, what a dunce was I...

                Moving along,

                I decided to re-build the model, delete the files on 4shared, and replace them. However, I'm running into a few snags, mainly open edges and the like, but none-the-less, 95% of the model is "peppable".

                Could still use that help on the unfold, and maybe some smoothing, because I really have no idea on how to even begin doing that.

                Turns out that I will have to re-work the 'Busa model, but here's something that you might want to look into:
                -CBRN
                -JFO HUL
                -HAZOP/Operator HUL
                -NEW Tacpad
                -NEW UGPS
                -NEW Recon/Operator/ODST UA!!!

                The latter two have been unfolded, and may need some adjustments. Will be putting up links soon, and then posting them onto the Official Reach Files Thread.

                Wish me luck, 405th, and thanks for the support!

                EDIT:
                Will be posting more images soon, so hang in there good buddies!

                  I’ve unfolded the MK VI female torso and I figured I’d make available to the masses in case any other nerdy girls are interested. This is my first unfold so I apologize if anything’s a little funky I’ll be pepping this myself this coming week so I’ll hopefully have some pictures of the finished product. I’ll also be able to make any necessary tweaks to the unfold then. Thanks so much for this file koshima!

                        Hey! If ya don't mind, I would like to add these files to a thread I made. It's *The Official* Female pepakura thread and I have been collecting any female files so that they are all contained in one thread. I have it set up like the thread for all the Reach pepaura files. Whenever you get these all finished, let me know and I will add these to my thread. You will recieve proper credit so don't worry about that.

                          Both of them are amazing models and a great idea; I can't wait to see the rest of them. Looks like you made the back a higher angle and put more room in the front which should make it far easier to put on. Seriously thank you so much! I was beginning to worry I'd never be able to wear a one piece plate. The original was good but it needed more of what you added for those of us that need more in the pecks and less in the abs area.

                          I just noticed this is border line necro. There hasn't been any been any updates but I think maybe its a good idea to bring it to more people's attention since unfolding and fix help is still needed if that's okay. If not I'll delete my post and let the thread rest again.

                            No Worries, Thunder. I've been a little side-tracked with my other Pepping and Unfolding projects, but I will get back on to this one. Will be looking into making variations for- and this sounds wierd coming from a low-key guy like myself- different chest sizes. I will also be updating the file now that I've got an OBJ Importer/Exporter, so that if anyone wants to take a crack at it and help me out, feel free.

                            I would be honored to have this file on your thread, ma'am. And thank you again for the advice on smoothing the models, it really helped out!

                              Ok, so other than working on my other secret project for the ladies of the 405th, I've updated the Mk VI Female Torso, and slimmed it down just a tad. Made some of the details look more rounded less than sharp, [lol], and removed some of the floating faces and lines. Still needs some work, so I will be posting the current model, Mk VI(B).

                              Posting in a bit, hang on.

                              Bad news 405th... I forgot to save the file!!!

                              "NOOO's"

                              However, I still had the obj I exported and managed to import it back into Sketchup...
                              And that didn't turn out well, either.

                              Gonna probably take the whole weekend to fix it, so hang in there!

                              EDIT-Part2:

                              Ok, 405th, I've solved my problem for now.

                              Pics!






                              And Files!
                              Here's the first one I was talking about, earlier in my post...
                              MJOLNIR Mk VI(B) Female Torso:
                              http://www.4shared.com/file/XLW2G6oD/Female_chest2.html
                              And the other one I fixed up:
                              http://www.4shared.com/file/NxHtSggG/Female_chest3.html

                              Tell me what you think, guys and gals! I'm open to suggestions, and you're free to edit them as you wish, just like Bexi did with her Mk VI Armor!
                              Thanks for sticking on this thread, people!
