Well I;m new to any 3D modeling stuff and I've been fooling around with Google SketchUp. This is what i have so far,its the start of my first 3D project, the Halo Wars Marine Armor,starting with the chest plate.

Tell me what you think and if you see anything that's wrong or wont work out please let me know

That looks like a great start! A Halo Wars marine is perfect to add to the Pepakura database, I'm glad someone is doing it.

Hey Harding, glad you're getting into 3D too! That marine chest looks great! Reminds me of the Jango Fett chest thing I modeled for you. I'll be keeping an eye out on your progress!

I use Maya, and don't know much about Max, but couldn't you just select the edge there and hit "delete"? It should be pretty easy. But the model looks cool. Btw I just released a pretty nice ODST pistol over in the Weapons and Props forum if you wanna check it out!

Not familiar with Sketchup but is there a way to select the two faces on either side of the edge and merge or fuse them? That's normally what I do to get rid of tri's on most models but I do it in Modo or C4D so the commands are likely quite different. Failing that can you delete those two faces and just rebuild that one little piece as a solid face/quad?

Click to expand...

Make 3 triangle faces, one to the left, one in the middle and one to the right.



*edit* added an image to illustrate

Get Blender3D, It's real easy once you learn it, Also the gap's in between the plate's are most likely a cloth material.

Great job so far. I've been waiting for someone to model Halo Wars stuff. If you want me to test pep i will be glad to.
